The Works of God

You’d think I would know Don’t Waste Your Cancer existed as an online book, but I just discovered it on Tuesday.

I highly recommend it.

From the Preface by Pastor John:

I originally wrote this on the eve of prostate-cancer surgery. I believed then, and I believe now, in God’s power to heal—by miracle and by medicine. I believe it is right and good to pray for both kinds of healing. Cancer is not  wasted when it is healed by God. He gets the glory, and  that is why cancer exists. So not to pray for healing may  waste our cancer.

But healing is not God’s plan for everyone in this life. And there are many other ways to waste our cancer. As I prayed for myself, and continue to do so, I also pray for you that we will not waste this pain.

John Piper, Don’t Waste Your Cancer, p. 3.
