Called Through Cancer

Description

What if cancer isn’t a detour from your calling – but part of it? In this deeply personal and spiritually grounded book, Anglican priest Lisa Barnett reflects on her own journey through cancer treatment and discovers a profound truth: that even in suffering, we are called. Drawing on the wisdom of St Ignatius of Loyola and her extensive experience in vocational ministry, Barnett explores how illness can become a sacred space – where God is found, faith is deepened and vocation is reimagined. With honesty, theological insight and pastoral sensitivity, Called Through Cancer invites readers to see each stage of illness – from diagnosis to treatment, vulnerability to recovery – not as a disruption, but as a vocation in its own right. This is a book for anyone navigating serious illness, for clergy and ministers facing suffering in the midst of active ministry and for all who seek to understand calling in the shadow of pain.
