Tale of the Toboggans

Cancer is a life changing experience whether your own or in the life of a loved one. That background brings me to this book, Tale of the Toboggans. I don't even know how I came to it, except that it was a free offering on Kindle. I just said the other day that it is Just over four years ago, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. I just said the other day that it is unlikely that I will ever read all of the free Kindle books I have downloaded, but I am so glad that I opened this one. This book is an autobiographical account of Christian Schmidt's battle with a rare form of cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma.

Quite plainly, this is one of the most moving, engaging books I have had the pleasure to read. Schmidt's descriptions of the treatment process and the ensuing physical, mental, and spiritual struggles is all too right. I find myself torn. On the one hand, there are few books I have read that I think are more important for my wife to read and yet, I am not sure what she might encounter.

I have no doubt that this book will generate emotions she has not had for a long time. Schmidt is brutally honest, which is a thing of rare beauty. What was even more beautiful to me was the increasing thirst to bring glory to God through his battle.
