A Day's Journey: Stories of Hope and Death-Defying Joy

“I know Tim Keesee as a storyteller--a man who has committed much of his life to seeking, finding, and telling stories about the ways God is at work in and through His people as they labor at the frontiers of world missions. But a recent diagnosis of terminal cancer has inspired him to tell new stories--stories of his own life and stories from the lives of other people who exhibit unshakeable hope and death-defying joy. Beautifully written and inspiringly grounded in the deepest truths, this is a book that will give strength and courage to all who are making their way through uncertain times and difficult days.”

“As Keesee has reported news of the gospel's advance from the frontlines, in this latest missive he describes how Jesus meets us on the frontlines of our suffering. Proverbs tells us that the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel. A Day's Journey chronicles the profoundly sweet way that Jesus uses friendship to bless and strengthen us in our deepest pain.”

“Cancer. My wife, myself, and now my daughter. Five years--three battles. Tim's battling too. With his wonderfully gifted pen, he's brought us along on the journey, filling each page with stories of fierce faith in the face of suffering. I needed this book. You do too. Take and read.”

“The first time I read something from Tim Keesee, I was captivated by his writing. I still am. Tim's worldview arrests my heart and my mind. I love his love for the Lord, and the sobriety with which he shepherds God's people and the Father's relentless truth. You may be tempted to sample this book as you would the cashews in a pretty dish on someone's coffee table. Don't do this. Dig in. Soak in his wisdom. Be taken by truth, perhaps as never before. The time you spend here will be a worthy investment. I promise.”

“Cancer is the reality check that no one wants. Uncertainties, fears, pain, relentless grief--Tim draws them close through life stories, then shines a searchlight on God's steadfast love, our refuge and true reality. A Day's Journey brings strange comfort to my own fearful, hopeful journey. I'm in good company.”

“"I've traveled with my friend Tim to some dangerous destinations for gospel advance. Now on a different kind of journey--the terra incognita of cancer--I've been watching him scrutinize Scripture and lean hard into Christ. This book is a blazing torch to guide us through the shadowlands.”
