Yeah, I'm new - asking prayer for Stephen Lawhead
« Thread Started on Feb 23, 2007, 3:34pm »

Hi, I'm Katie. I came here for more information after reading the following on a friend's blog:

I don't know if you've heard out there--I only found out cause I was alerted to it a couple days ago on the Christian Fandom listserv--but Stephen Lawhead, multi-published author of Christian fantasy, is very ill.

He has cancer. He is not doing well. His family is heartsick.

Please remember Stephen in your prayers. Let's believe for a miracle. The God who hears is still Yahweh Rapha: The LORD who heals.

I plead with my fellow bloggers to post and pass the word, so that we may have many prayer warriors battling for Stephen's good.

I didn't see any information here so I figured I'd post so you all could be praying. Feel free to move this thread to a more appropriate forum, and if anyone knows more about how he's doing, please let us know.

Welcome, Katie!

Thanks for your concern and request that we pray. Several have been doing so, and I hope that many of us continue.

There is a little bit of information scattered in a few places on this forum. Another thread here with something to say about this is Intro and information on SRL .

The most recent word I'm aware of is a message that seems to have gone into circulation on Feb 17 from his wife:

*****

Dear Friends and Family:

Steve is finished with his course of chemotherapy and radiation. The chemo was stopped a week early, as the doctors reckoned it had done its work, which was to make the radiation more effective. (In other words, he was plenty sick.) The full 30 radiation treatments were given, the last one on 23 January.

So, he is on the road to recovery, with the occasional detour along the way.

It's difficult to represent this situation well, not overstating the difficulties or glossing over them. We remain hopeful and determined; each day brings unexpected blessings, and in many ways life is unbearably sweet. However, Steve is still struggling with the physical impact of the cancer, the aggressive treatment, and the emotional impact of it all. Some days are better than others.

Aware that many of you have gone down this road yourselves, or with loved ones, we thank you for your messages of concern and support, and most of all your prayers - the thing we need, and value, most.

Love,
Alice
