North Wind Publishing to Release New Book "What Faith and Love Can Do"

Belfast, ME, September 21, 2010 --(PR.com)-- New book to be released: “What Faith and Love Can Do” (ISBN 978-0-9720620-9-1, paperback ($13.95, e-book $9.95, North Wind Publishing, November 2010, 122 pages, 5 x 8 trim). What Faith and Love Can Do combines the author’s previous book Take My Hand with new material about picking up the pieces of his life, facing being alone, new health problems, finding new love and getting married again. This book invites the reader to journey with Dan Cole as he confronts his life’s greatest challenges—the death of his wife, Sandy, from cancer and his simultaneous cancer diagnosis and treatment. After all, what hope is there for people who hear the word “cancer” or are taking their final steps to the end of life due to some other dreadful condition? Is faith in God and love for one another enough to see you through?

The author says “Journeying through crisis has had a profound effect on me. I discovered how to translate my faith into practice and I have seen my own faith develop and produce in me a maturity that I would not otherwise possess.” The message to his readers is clear: faith in God, love for one another, and surprisingly, a sense of humor are the secrets to overcoming grief and loss. This is a wonderful book for small group or individual study (bring tissues). You can read a sample chapter online at www.northwindpublishing.com
