Detoured: My Ride Through Cancer with God as Chauffeur - Paperback

by Terrie Childress (Author)

Does God really listen to every conversation? Hear every utterance? Know each thought and every wish? How does God bless you through the unspeakable? At what cost is the value of life? These are a few of the questions that Childress grapples with in this poignant, spiritual, and unforgettable memoir.

From her daily marathon of running around the elementary school campus where Terrie Childress served as a reading specialist, to God's reveal of that necessary training, she found herself abruptly braked and ultimately detoured with a surprise cancer diagnosis twenty-two years in the making.

Told with a blend of mystery, drama, humor and suspense, DETOURED - My Ride Through Cancer with God as Chauffeur not only chronicles Childress's breast cancer journey full of 'bumps' and blessings, but shows how God used her everyday walk, struggles, and words to navigate her through the unimaginable turns with Him at the wheel.

From the lone couch, to the diagnosis, inside the arms of her loving husband, through the operating room doors, to the 'dropping of the ball' test results, among the collective gathering of threaded fishing poles lined around a river of six other women survivors, this story will keep anyone who has ever traveled a rocky road, buckled in and steered safely across. Just keep your eyes on that road and watch what God will do

For, sitting in the passenger seat really is where you learn how to drive.
