As a man of faith, at the prime of life, having achieved all the life goals he once set for himself and convinced the best is still ahead, Theodore Mistra had been hearing God's 'whisper' that the next twenty years would be his best- the most productive, the most meaningful, difference-making years of his life. But now with a doctor's devastating news that he had prostrate cancer Theodore suddenly encounters a momentary flash of fear and confusion about that bright future. He recalls how he realized immediately that he had an important choice to make. "He could live in fear of his future, or he could live in faith." He chose faith!Surrounded by Angels is his inspiring story, told in a series of journal entries and strong reflections, of one man's battle against life-threatening cancer and how he faced this formidable foe head-on, with traditional and alternative medicine, fervent prayer, Scripture reading, and strong hope.
