At the age of fifty-four, Adrian Adger-church minister in the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and recently married-discovered he had inoperable, incurable cancer. He was full of questions:Why me? Is God punishing me? Is my life effectively over? Should I pray for healing? Will I ever know joy again? By sharing his journey with us, Adrian explains the extraordinary difference that Jesus Christ has made to him as he faces a bleak diagnosis. Although Adrian is facing cancer, he is 'standing tall'-and not only because he is over 6 foot 7 inches tall.This book will encourage and help anyone who is facing cancer themselves and point them to the God who will see them through the darkest struggles because he loves and cares for them."With courageous and vivid honesty, Adrian answers many challenging questions that people, including Christians, often confront when they discover they have incurable cancer."Dr Cherith Semple, Cancer Care Specialist
