Hezekiah's Maple: One Man's Journey with Cancer and Hope

By Joey Mullins

"Hezekiah's Maple: One Man's Journey with Cancer and Hope" is the often very personal diary of one man's battle with cancer, and the hope which has sustained him through this journey. It is written from the viewpoint and heart of a Christian, and faith and hope are centerpieces of the work. The author was diagnosed with cancer in January of 2014. "Hezekiah's Maple" is a record of blogs written throughout the year, revealing his hope even in the darkest of times, uncovering moments of despair and darkness, and how he came through them to the other side. Readers of the blogs have described them as "inspirational and encouraging, and beneficial to any who might read them, whether suffering from cancer or involved in another health crisis, or difficult situations unrelated to health altogether." This is a book to not only read for yourself, but also to share with a friend in need of inspiration and direction. "Mr. Mullins tells a testing story, a story which includes a cancer battle, with love, humor, and deep spiritual connections. The need for enduring faith tests our souls. In solitude, he becomes more aware of himself. In community, he becomes more aware of others. In endurance, he becomes strongly connected with his faith. Joey Mullins offers Hezekiah's Maple as a handbook of endurance and persistence for faith. Hezekiah's Maple will encourage you." Andrew Simkins, MDiv, DMin Resident Chaplain-Outpatient Clinics IUHealth Academic Hospitals Spiritual Care & Chaplaincy Services IUHealth at Methodist Hospital "This book is for those who are facing the darkest moments of their life as they confront life-threatening illnesses and the unknown turns that lie before them. As one reads Joey's journey they will hear answers, be encouraged, gain a sense of hope, and be inspired. This book is for those who don't know what to say to their friends or loved ones during such a time. Joey will say it for you as he shares the experience of his journey. As one reads, they will identify with the struggles he dealt with and almost every emotion will be touched. They will find comfort and peace as they read of his battle with life and death. Joey has the incredible ability to share his deepest feelings and encourage others in expressing his trust and faith in God. This author has walked through the valley of the shadow of death and has been comforted by the warmth of the knowledge of the Son's presence."
