Summary

Today's interview is very special. Lisa recorded this interview with author Colleen Chao in May of this year, knowing that Colleen had stage 4 terminal cancer. Colleen's book released in October, In the Hands of a Fiercely Tender God: 31 Days of Hope, Honesty, and Encouragement for the Sufferer. Colleen wrote this book for the sufferer who wants to trust Jesus in the midst of their deep pain, grief, or loss—but who needs practical wisdom, rich truth, and encouragement to do so.
