God of the Valleys: Mysteries Along Life’s Journey God of the Valleys: Mysteries Along Life’s Journey is a journey with God that reminds us that when we trust in God rather than leaning on our understanding, we acknowledge Him, and God will make our path straight (Proverbs 3:5-6). Janet Williamson’s journey is not a path of despair, nor are the pages strewn with hopeless devastation. Her story overflows with faith in God, undying courage, and God’s grace to push through struggles, even with joy. Theirs wasn’t a journey that exempted us from suffering; on the contrary, God and the support of friends taught them how to thrive in the midst of it. Hospitalization and cancer were such a big part of their lives that they had to triumph over these with God’s help to enjoy full lives. There are mysteries about God and suffering that are not easily explained, and even when we don’t understand, trusting in Him is still the answer. Williamson is so thankful to God for the gift of her children, Tanya and Eric, who loved God and walked with Him all their days and taught her to do the same.

The little girl in NOWHERE HAIR knows two things: Her mom's hair is not on her head anymore, so therefore it must be somewhere around the house. After searching the obvious places, the story reveals that her mother, although going through cancer treatment, is still silly, attentive, happy and yes, sometimes very tired and cranky. She learns that she didn't cause the cancer, can't catch it, and that Mommy still is very much up for the job of mothering. The book, written in rhyme, explains hats, scarves, wigs, going bald in public, and the idea of being nice to people who may look a little different than you. It ends with the idea that what is inside of us is far more important than how we look on the outside. For any parent or grandparent, NOWHERE HAIR offers a comfortable platform to explain something that is inherently very difficult. Recommended by the American School Counselor Association and LIVESTRONG. Used in more than 100+ cancer centers.
