Nothing to Fear: The Key to Cancer Survival

Christian financial guru Larry Burkett forsakes his usual pattern of dispensing personal finance advice to offer hope to cancer patients in Nothing to Fear: The Key to Cancer Survival. In March of 1995, Burkett received a shocking diagnosis of kidney cancer, and learned that it had spread to his left shoulder blade. He faced a low expectation of survival. Here, he explains the strategies that helped him better his chances: arming himself with information, seeking several opinions, exploring alternative treatments (even going as far as Prague for immune therapy), changing his diet and allowing faith to win out over fear. The book is quite practical and reassuring, though much of the personal information has already appeared in Burkett's memoir Hope When It Hurts.
