Chase Away Cancer

Chase Away Cancer
By: Ellie Poole Ewoldt
Chase away cancer is an inspiring true story of a boy and his family as they fight against the cruel and merciless disease of cancer. I read this book in under 4 hours and I couldn't tare my self away, Chase and his family made me cry, broke my heart and then gave me hope again. Chase is brave and strong and is simply amazing just like the book. Miricles really do happen guys and i highly recommened.

One of my favorite parts is chase and his mom talking. 

“Will you keep holding me?”
“Of course sweet boy!” I stroked his smooth head as he continued.
“No, Mom, will you hold me so the death won’t get me and take me away?”
Oh dear God….please not now.
When the big brown eyes of your tiny three-year-old look into your own,
and he asks urgently and honestly to him against death, there are a hundred directions
the brain goes over the sound of your heart breaking for the horror of the moment….Bob and I had never given Chase the burden of a terminal diagnoses to carry.
He knew he was sick, and that it was serious, but we’d determined….he hadn’t needed to know….
Then came the hardest moment….it took me forever to answer him.
I wanted to say “Yes, of course I will, baby!”….
but I had to speak the truth to him as I hugged him close.
“Oh, my sweet boy, I can’t. I will hold you forever in this life.
My arms will be the last thing you remember,
but if Jesus wants to take you away from the cancer, it’s okay to go with Him.”
He whimpered. “I don’t want to.”
Fighting tears, I went on.
“I know, sweet boy, and that’s okay for now….heaven is beautiful and wonderful…
in heaven there won’t be anymore cancer…
your body won’t hurt, and you’ll get to have music and singing with Jesus forever.”
He paused to consider it. “No needles?”
“No needles.”
~Chase Away Cancer, pg. 164 — 166~


Its about:
You may think you know how this cancer story goes. The characters: a little boy, a loving family, the team of doctors. The diagnosis: terminal, little hope for a cure. There are two possible outcomes. Will his family be plunged into extreme sorrow or miraculous joy?

What if the answer was both?

Ellie Poole Ewoldt debuts with a memoir of desperate hope and fierce love; of a family who refused to give up even when they heard the worst possible news for their two-year-old son, Chase. Moment by moment, the Ewoldts faced brain surgery and chemo, spinal taps and transfusions. And yet, the true miracle lay not in the medicine or Chase’s prognosis—rather, Chase’s life shows us the miracle of hope, even through the darkest nights. If there is anything he and the Ewoldts have learned, it is that God isalways good and will stay at your side through every moment, no matter what it holds.

You’ll fall in love with Chase through his story and be inspired to help chase away cancer—for this headstrong boy, his fighting friends, and all those in your own life who need hope for whatever tomorrow may bring.

 P.s. Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book.

The Heartless City

The Heartless City By: Andrea Berthot                                I love this book, (I did an all nighter to finish it.) . The Heartless City (great title and cover) is one of the best tales of the story Jekyll & Hyde I have ever read. The characters are relatable, the writing is fantastic, its filled with love, horror, drama, and betrayal. I feel sad when I read parts with Cam but I guess that means I feel like i could actually meet these characters. The only thing that I think could change is that they should have brought in Iris's dad ( who I can't reveal) into the book at the end. To sum it up: It starts in London with Henry Jekyll who was a brilliant doctor, a passionate idealist who aimed to free mankind of selfishness and vice. He’s also the man who carelessly created a race of monsters. Once shared secretly amon...

The website has changed my ebook life. Tuebl.ca is a free ebook site for all you readers who like reading as much as me.   I have yet to find one book I couldn't dowload an epub from. This is a really amazing site. How to actually find a book though is a bit more challenging. First you want to look at the tabs at the top of the page and you want to find and click on the srch button. Then in the search box you'll want to type the author or title of the book you are looking for. Make sure you type in the exact title or author, cause if you don't you won't be able to find what your looking for. Such as  if the title your looking for  has a"comma "or a  capital Letter. You Need To Type It Exactly How It Looks On The Cover. Then click on the title of the book not the series or the author but the title. Once you are at the book page scroll down past adds and click download  it will send you to a page were you'll need to wait 15 seconds before downloading...
