Title: Death Came Knocking... But Life Answered the Door
Description: An Autoethnography or "personal story" told by Henry L. Knight, who was at a loss for words when he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. As a pastor, teacher, he was astonished to find himself in this condition.  How could this have happened? He ate all the right foods, exercised, and got enough rest. How could his body turn on him like this? Pastor Knight chronicles his struggles to overcome this dreaded disease. He embraces the fact that he became ill through no fault of his own, and began simultaneous chemotherapy and radiation treatments for 31 days. But it is God that he credits for his full healing. No matter what he saw when looking into the mirror, he never entertained death. Only life! This book can serve as a blueprint for anyone with cancer. You can choose life over death!
