About the Book

CANCER: with often abrupt and unwelcome entry into human lives as well as profound multi-dimensional impact, such an illness is, for many, considered to be a ruthless thief, intent on stealing not only joy, but life itself. Of course, even as cancer attempts to steal life and captivate those under its hold, lest we forget that as powerful an adversary as it may seem, it is no contestant against the power of the One who "has come to set the captives free" (Luke 4:18) and who is Life itself (John 14:6) and its Source. Cross of a Different Kind: Cancer & Christian Spirituality draws upon the richness of Christian spiritual theology with the aim of rejuvenating hope within and imparting eternal Truth to all persons who have been "touched" by cancer in any of its wicked forms. Divided into three parts addressing those who have lost loved ones to cancer; those currently confronting their diagnoses; and survivors, this book serves as both a "spiritual field-guide" as well as an informative, yet practical helpmate to ensure all facing such adversities that they are never alone in their journey.

Review :
"This is an excellent book for all those who struggle with cancer. It might be particularly helpful for the loved ones of cancer patients. The author writes from a deep well of suffering and life in the Trinitarian God. His theological training is what makes this book stand out." - Gerald McDermott, Ph.D. Professor, Beeson Divinity School at Samford University Co-author, Cancer: A Medical and Spiritual Guide "A 'must read' for anyone who has ever struggled with the griefs and sufferings of this world and asked: 'Why, God?' Anthony Maranise has carried the cross of cancer to find the way of compassion and healing. He shows us what it takes. But he takes us further. Christ's Passion is incomplete without life for all beyond the Cross. In Anthony's ministry, and in the courage and wisdom of those to whom he ministers, we find one faith-filled answer to Christ's call to bring His saving presence to all His sisters and brothers in need." - John Ferguson National Executive Officer Australian Catholic Social Justice Council "Since my husband's diagnosis, I have read countless books about the emotional and spiritual impact of cancer, but Cross of a Different Kind may well be the best yet. In this comprehensive work, the author answers many of the vital questions which arise when God and cancer meet. It is a profoundly well-organized synthesis of Biblical Truth, theological scholarship, and personal perspective from which all, even those who have not experienced cancer, could benefit." - Cynthia Zahm Siegfried Author, Cancer Journey LUNGevity - Caregiver of the Year, 2012
