Customer Reviews

"Flashlight Walking" will help us in the dark days coming...

I have read "Flashlight Walking" twice in the last few hours... to myself and then aloud with my wife.We personally knew Bill and Cathy some ten years ago before any of the dark days came into their lives. They had a wonderful love for their family members... and everyone they knew was adopted into the "family". More than that this couple had a special ministry for the ill, expecially those confined and elderly... we had witnessed their caring in a hundred ways and more.This book is important to us... not because we knew Bill and Cathy. This book is important because it helps teach us how best to face the coming days in the conclusion of our lives. We now better understand the dark clouds coming into every family... sooner or later. We need to write a love letter to our children to be delivered after our passing.We better understand uncertainty, and how God in mercy gives us just one day at a time.Thank you, Cathy

American Dream Deferred

This is an amazingly personal account of tragedy and renewal in the midst of the Enron layoff. At a time when Bill Peterson needed all of his strength to fight cancer, Enron laid him off by phone, losing all of his benefits in the process. Rather than get down, his family helped him rally for the fight of his life with dignity and grace. A wonderful read for anyone facing cancer with a family member, interested in what really happened to most people at Enron, or simply looking for a bit of magical inspiration.
