In these eight moving portraits, he offers us a compelling look at what is to be learned when life itself can no longer be taken for granted.These stories are diverse--from Kirk, an aggressive venture capitalist determined to play the odds with controversial chemotherapy treatments; to Elizabeth, an imperious dowager humbled by a rare blood disease; to Elliott, who triumphs over leukemia and creates for himself a definition of success--but each, in the words of Maggie Scarf, \"transmute the misery of terrible suffering into a marvelous celebration of the sweetness of human life.\" Far from medical case studies, these are spiritual journeys of questioning and self-awareness, embarked on by the physician as well as the patient.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666188173600,"sku":"NEW014026972X","price":16.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61HfC9Heb3L.jpg?v=1778923170","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-measure-of-our-days-a-spiritual-exploration-of-illness-014026972x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
