Encountering Divine Presence: One Couple's Memoir of Pain, Death, and Joy details the illness journeys of a married couple, Drs. Brady and Beth Wilson.
Brady Wilson, PhD, was diagnosed with a five-pound leiomyosarcoma--a deadly cancer--in 2008 and was treated at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Through a harrowing sixteen-hour "mother of all surgeries" with a team of expert surgeons, coding two times, and being sent to the intensive care unit, he provides exquisite detail of his experience being clinically dead. He writes intimately about his journey in all its pain and wonder.
Dr. Beth Wilson's illness began in 2015. She documents her five-year journey to determine what was causing her constant intense bodily pain and severe fatigue. Both Brady and Beth had encounters with the divine presence during their illness journeys. Their memoir presents encounters with God, which were possible by giving up all control and falling into the place of absence, only to find what is present and here now for all of us: divine presence.
Their life-changing journeys are presented with the hope that you will at some point in your life experience the joy of a deep dive inward, where you will find God's presence within you.
