In His Grip Meditations with the Great Physician

Having passed through the fire of a battle with cancer, Joe and Terri Fornear share the lessons they gleaned from the Lord throughout that intense journey. In May of 2003, doctors gave Joe just days to live. Stage IV metastatic melanoma had spread to thirteen different sites in his body, including lung, kidney, stomach and pancreas. Though he was at the brink of death, he experienced a miraculous healing and has been cancer-free since August of 2003. In 2008, after 18 years of pastoring, Joe and Terri launched Stronghold Ministry, a non-profit ministry that provides spiritual help to cancer patients and those in crisis. This book is a collection of devotional readings to encourage and to help patients make sense of their suffering. Topics include God’s love, surrender, miracles for today, and mastering emotions. Terri Fornear is co-Founder and Assistant Director of Stronghold Ministry. She focuses on counseling, small group studies and support and prayer groups for patients and others in crisis. Terri has a degree in Marriage and Family Counseling and is passionate to help people become grounded in their faith in the Lord. Joe Fornear is co-Founder and Executive Director of Stronghold Ministry, a non-profit ministry that provides spiritual help to cancer patients and those in crisis. An ordained minister, Joe has a Masters of Theology (ThM) degree from Dallas Theological Seminary. He founded and pastored a church in Dallas, TX for 18 years.
