What is a good Christian Biblical based book to help someone dying of cancer?

Question

He's only 30 and is a Christian. He reads his Bible which has helped him of course, but I'd like to give him something else to read to help encourage him during this trying time for him and his wife. They never got to have children before he got sick and they want them so badly.

Also available from the same source are orchestrated "Kingdom Melodies". These could be played in the background, even while he reads. They've lifted many a person's spirits who aren't even believers of the Bible, & are based on thefollowing principles ...

Your BF residing with you does look sinful. And, Christians are discouraged from interacting with "brothers" (that still implies sisters) who're pleasing in sinful habit. on the different hand, if you're no longer a Christian, then your in-guidelines have actually no proper to guage you. see you later as you're not to any extent further breaking the regulation or abusing your toddlers in any way, they haven't any reason to stay remote from you. lower back, i'm sorry on your loss, yet i'm very happy that you're satisfied lower back. I favor you the very acceptable.
