Silent Tears

Trials in life are like mountain trails: some are easy, some are moderate, and some are strenuous. Thankfully, God provides a trail map to guide us every step of the way. Nancy Umberger is a Christian life coach whose life came to a standstill when a 2011 mammogram revealed breast cancer. As she chronically leads others through journal entries that detail the moments and days before and after she received the shocking news, Nancy illustrates how her faith in God helped keep her strong, especially when she felt most vulnerable. While bravely facing her health challenges, Nancy discloses how the Lord walked beside her on a strenuous trail thick with unforgiving terrain as she struggled to ask for help from her family and friends, grieved privately, and prayed to be healed. Throughout her story, Nancy demonstrates to others that although no strenuous trail through life is devoid of obstacles like silent tears, loneliness, fear, discouragement, and pain, it is also full of valuable lessons. Silent Tears: A Journey of Faith shares a breast cancer survivor’s story of hope, faith, and love that serves as a gentle reminder of how Christ can bring joy to our darkest moments.
