Holy Vulnerability: a Spiritual Path for Those with Cancer Donna Schaper

Eight dimensions of a spiritual path for those with cancer: Dealing with Mortality Accepting personal responsibility Managing pain Relying on family and community Practicing compassion Relishing the serendipitous Living with holy vulnerability Practicing the presence of God

Rev. Donna Schaper has developed what she calls a "spiritual path" specifically for those with cancer. Blunt, practical and down-to-earth, yet still hopeful, compassionate and faith-filled, Holy Vulnerability is unique among cancer-survivor books in its insistence on facing the reality of cancer head-on and finding in it a series of unexpected blessings.
