At the young age of 46, having lived and active, healthy life, I was ready to call it quits and say goodbye to loved ones, friends and the world for good.

After a battle which lasted many months, I was finally broken and completely worn out. When I thought things could not get any worse, they suddenly did; a whole lot worse. The remaining embers of my resolve were shattered. The last fragments of my drive to survive were quickly eroded and I was thrown into the worst nightmare of my existence.

This is the true story of my life's greatest battle and how God carried me when I was no longer able to carry myself.

Stepping into darkness is about the literal and figurative account of my decent into darkness through stage 4 cancer. This is the story of destruction my body had to endure. It's a story of humility, the shattering of pride and handing control over to God.

The vision I have for this book and others in this series is to encourage and strengthen Christians as they face obstacles that seem too great to climb. I hope, like me, you will put your faith in God to carry you when you are no longer able to carry yourself.

I invite you to come along with me into my world and journey with me for a short while.
