Surprised by Tragedy: Finding Hope When Your Days Are Dark

by Timothy M. Cox

It is always too soon to quit! What is your story that has you searching for a book about tragedy? The surprise you are facing probably has a different name than Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. The cure you need or long for may not exist or be as invasive as a lung transplant. Tragedies come in all different "shapes and sizes," but they share two common traits. They are personal, and that person needs hope. This book will help you or a loved one find hope in the midst of the tragedy. It is a story of not giving up, and discovering answers all along the journey of your life. Finding hope may be the hardest challenge you face. It is found in a combination of surprising events, loving friends/family and "just enough" faith that weave together in unexpected ways. It doesn't matter what uninvited surprise has invaded your story, there is always hope! Tim is thankful for and enjoys every day of life! He has committed to building families through relationships and educational ministries in several local churches around the country, currently on a pastoral staff in Charlotte, North Carolina. He and his wife, Diane, enjoy many hobbies, but most love spending time with their five children, spouses and grandchildren. He can be contacted through the www.surprisedbytragedy.com.

Positive

Facing IPF it was good to read about someone else’s journey. Doubt I will ever able to have a lung transplant but this helps give me perspective on the course laid before me that I have to traverse.

Short book about the author’s battle with IPF and his double lung transplant. Should give hope to all those suffering with this horrible disease.

Great read

Loved reading his story and watching his faith get him thru. Hope his story encourages others in their journey and also for organ donors.
