After suffering a stroke, losing his job, and discovering he had stage IV cancer, all in the span of four years, Wally Hogland had a choice to make: his mind could be his curse or his cure. By weaving together Scripture, science, and personal narrative, Hogland shares a moving story of his determined journey to remission. Observe how transformed faith, revitalized hope, and newfound control over his own thoughts gave Hogland a Second Chance for Life when it was most needed, but least expected.

“Cancer was my moment of greatest weakness, and from it came the potential for my greatest strength . . . I was too tired to depend on my own strength, which was all but depleted. I had no solutions, no control, and no energy,” says the author. “I could no longer take for granted one second of my life. I finally realized, in despair of my life, that my mind could be my cure or my curse,” he explains.

As a Christian, Hogland knew about healing, but he never thought about praying for himself. He never thought about changing his negative thinking to include hope. And it was hope that gave him a second chance for life.
