Notes from the Valley

At 2:58 PM on July 14, 2009, Andy McQuitty entered the valley of the shadow of death.

“Andy,” his doctor said, “you have a massive tumor that has broken through the wall of your colon. It’s cancer. It’s serious. Get in here now.”

Hearing you have cancer does more than warn you of death. It displaces you emotionally and spiritually, as it did for Andy and the roughly 1.7 million cancer patients diagnosed in America annually. Notes from the Valley gives you a window into their experience.

In the persona of a travel writer sending notes back from the desert, Andy recounts his journey through stage IV cancer. In this journey, he discovers what King David did in his own valley: that in suffering, God’s presence isn’t diminished, but magnified.

Written with humor and sensitivity, Notes from the Valley is for anyone on a journey through illness or for those traveling alongside a loved one who is.
