Book Description
~A Pilgrimage Without End is a heartfelt and engaging story about a woman who was diagnosed with an incurable cancer. When life seemed at its best, it was derailed by a serious cancer diagnosis. After Cherie found herself in the Emergency Room with a terminal and incurable cancer, she went through the absolute darkest period of her life. By bringing together all the lessons life had taught her, she found Inner Peace, something most of us long for yet few are lucky enough to possess. ~A Pilgrimage Without End goes deep into the psyche of the author, who overcame a difficult childhood by staying open to the goodness that exists in the world and by taking ownership of her own mistakes. Through her willingness to forgive, and learn from her mistakes, she was able to take a very difficult life, and subsequent cancer diagnosis, and turn it into a powerful Pilgrimage that taught her that Happiness can be found in the unlikeliest of places, as long as we are open to everything life hands us. This book will leave you astonished and empowered, and you will likely walk away with a renewed appreciation for your own life. A Pilgrimage Without End comes with powerful pictures and quotes created by the author herself, making it an all-around fun reading experience. As one reader put it:I hope you will find Cherie to be as engaging an author as I have. Her tale is intimately personal. Cherie shares the deepest part of herself, her struggles and the lessons she has learned along the way. Her story is not just another autobiographical journal of her battle with cancer." A Pilgrimage Without End" is much more than that! It is a well-crafted self-examination from which we all can learn. In it she reveals her deepest, and often darkest emotional, physical and spiritual struggles she has faced throughout her life. Much of what she has to say is relevant to all of us, and not just those facing a battle with cancer. More than this, Cherie's self-examination and search for truth provides the reader with practical and spiritual guidance and insight when facing our own struggles. Thus, her story is one from which we all can benefit, whether we are confronting cancer, emotional struggles, or life changing events. Read it and be blessed.
