  Written as a 'prayer journal', Wendy shares her hard journey from initial symptoms to diagnosis of cancer, and through months of gruelling treatment. She describes the effect on her marriage and family life, as well as the physical, emotional and spiritual impact on her as an individual Christian. As Fiona Castle commented, An honest daily account of real, often raw, emotions . This book contains many thought-provoking insights into relating to God through the hardest of times, as well as practical ideas for supporting those living with cancer and their families. As well as many deeply moving episodes, it is written with Wendy's trademark warmth and flashes of wry humour. The new edition brings her story right up to date, with the story of her diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer, unrelated to her first illness.

  A day-by-day account of coming to terms with a diagnosis of advanced cancer and the trauma of treatment, this is written by someone who is taking each step of the way in prayer and reflection on the Bible and Christian literature. Wendy records the highs and lows (including the devastation of realising after weeks of painful treatment that her illness is not in remission), at times praising God and at other times crying out in despair. In the Palm of God's Hand was named Biography of the Year for 2002 in awards sponsored by the The Christian Book Promotion Trust. This new edition brings Wendy's story up to date.
