Alligator Wrestling in the Cancer Ward

How a Christian Tough-Guy Survived Leukemia with Gallows Humor, One-Liners and a Praying Posse

By: Curt Ghormley

Narrated by: Curt Ghormley

Are you living above your circumstances, or are you crushed beneath their weight? Curt Ghormley was ambushed by AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) and determined to meet it with optimism, humor, and steely grit. Drawing on Christian principles and the memoir of his own life experiences, he teases out the lessons for dealing effectively with an unexpected and deadly fight with an unseen enemy. In this book, he presents eight rules for living victoriously in the shadow of the medical death sentence of a fast-moving cancer.

In between your tears, this book is laugh-out-loud funny!

Don’t miss the war stories. Ghormley is a history buff and liberally illustrates his subject with World War II experiences from his own father in the US Navy, and those of others. At once light-hearted, uplifting, biblical, poignant, and heart-wrenching, this is the one book sure to bring bright hope to a dark room. With a clear-eyed acknowledgment of the reality and seriousness of events beyond our control, Ghormley shows the way to meet the most difficult challenges of life head-on.

Highly Recommend Audio Version of this Book!

Having read both the physical and audio versions, I can say that listening to the author’s narration makes for an even more memorable and (despite his best efforts to the contrary) emotional journey.

The rare narrative structure of war story, biblical application, and personal vignette work together in a truly one of a kind way that really hits home throughout.
