About the Author

“Cancer is a dreaded word for any human being and I was no different.” 

 

Shortly after being apprised of the prospects of prostate cancer Nathan sat down one day and asked God, “What do I do now?”  The answer was “Continue writing about your journey.”   He has been writing ever since, and in his words, “If the telling of my experiences with cancer will help just one person it will be worth the effort.”  

 

This book is a continuation of writing the author began in the early 1990s when, he believes, God laid him on his back so He could get his undivided attention.  Nathan relates, “In my early days of experiencing God, I required constant attention getters for me to get the messages.  My mind simply wanted to be in the world doing the worldly things that I thought would bring me peace and contentment.  The only credential I have for writing is that I lived the stories found in my books.”     

 

Also the author of The Reality of the Spiritual World Nathan has a third book, The Reality of the Presence of God, in the editing stage.  

 

Nathan is active in interdenominational youth ministries in Memphis, where he was born and raised.    A chemist and engineer by education and training, Nathan finds time to write between managing his environmental businesses and his community projects. 

 

A talented athlete and a good, but not great student, he was a senior at Christian Brothers University before he discovered his capacity to succeed in whatever he was led to do.    He lives in Memphis with his high school sweetheart, wife and soul mate of almost 50 years.  “You can survive cancer and reclaim your life,” he encourages his readers.
