Science Deepens Faith: Jesse’s Miracle (expanded edition)
by Thomas McAvoy describes his challenge through to victory upon the diagnosis
of his wife, Jesse, with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP) - a little known cancer.
His journey not only changed his life, but also changed others by the beginning
of research to propagate the cure for this little-known cancer. Triumphantly,
this book relates how a few dedicated people can make a difference in this
world! Thomas McAvoy honors his wife’s passing by embarking on this
unbelievable journey to find a cure for this cancer that is usually fatal. In
his endearing autobiography, he shares his grief, his wife’s legacy and life,
their love story (married for 41 years), and the author’s firm commitment to
finding a cure. Within this, he also makes a resounding discovery: faith and
science can co-exist together!
Upon receiving the diagnosis of PMP, four sections explain first
the search, and later detail the research and what is known and unknown about
the disease PMP. His findings relate to readers an intersection of a spiritual,
philosophical and medical investigation. In concise manner, the author further
relates to readers how his loss triggered faith. He also answers many
perplexing questions such as: Why does God allow disease and evil? How does
science prove or disprove his findings about faith in God, explain disease and
sickness? All the answers led him to understand that God created the Earth
that we live in. In fact, science and faith, do not disprove each other, they
compliment each other. His book relates this and that religion and science
speaks of a Creator who designed our universe with such precision, that this
precision and design, comes from none other than God Himself.
In his book he researches such theories as the: Big Bang
Theory, astronomy, evolution, physics, to include Scripture that reveal answers
to questions we all have had. His research and hard work culminate into a
twelve year long research of the disease, along with many noted doctors,
scientists and research specialists. It’s this kind of persevering spirit
despite tragedy where people’s lives are changed for the better and new
inventions and discoveries are made to save the next person suffering.
Inspiring and educational, this in-depth look at PMP, and Jesse’s miracle, make
this a memorable autobiography.
In particular, this book may have a powerful impact on those
who have experienced grief and loss from disease; written from a man who lost
his wife, and instead found that “science deepens faith!” This comes highly
recommended to those that might doubt God after a loss and tragedy, helping
give readers insight to different processes and bring understanding as to why
certain elements (such as bacteria and disease) are in our world!
It is this spirit of overcoming that prevails victory
within this book that makes for a greatly inspirational read.
