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 2003, doctors gave Joe just days to live. Stage IV metastatic melanoma had spread to 13 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 2003. In 2008, Joe and Terri launched Stronghold Ministry, a nonprofit 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 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 is co-Founder and Executive Director of Stronghold Ministry. An ordained minister, Joe has a Masters of Theology (ThM) degree from Dallas Theological Seminary. He founded and pastored a church in Dallas, Texas, for 18 years. Joe and Terri have two children, a son Jesse, and a daughter Amy.
