The story of a struggle with Motor Neurone Disease, told with courage, humour and faith.
‘From premature babies to centenarians, from close family to complete strangers, heroes to wastrels, I have buried them all. I know that life is essentially fragile.’
It began with a slight unsteadiness; then slurred speech. After months of tests at the John Hopkins Infirmary in Oxford, the consultant said, ‘Rev Wenham, would you like to sit down?’
‘This was the big one,’ wrote Michael. ‘I knew about David Niven and Peter Cook. It was not so long ago that Diane Pretty had been on the television news, pleading through her husband to be put out of her misery.’
Now, Michael, who had helped so many parishioners through terminal illness, faced his own sentence. How would he cope? Would his own faith stand the heat?
“It is the author’s humanity and faith which hit you most, describing without pretence, the reality of life lived before God.” Elaine Storkey, president of Tearfund
“A beautifully written, honest story about suffering and grace. As Michael’s suffering increased so God’s grace abounds.” Simon Ponsonby, writer and theologian
