Review of Chad’s Triumph
Posted: 12 Aug 2021, 01:50
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Chad's Triumph" by Diana Meyer.]
Chad's Triumph by Diana J. Meyer is a mother's inspiring account of one of the most challenging medical dramas written in the memory of her son. Chad was diagnosed with leukemia, but his mother's belief in the possibility of a miracle and the occurrence of the unbelievable opened up a series of exciting events. The author provided valuable insights into what it means to care for a sick loved one — the physical, mental, emotional, and social challenges involved.
This book mirrors the importance of faith and perseverance from a Christian perspective. The author takes us through a rollercoaster of emotions as she explains the challenges of taking care of her son. However, this book unfolds with her faith in God, who she believes was her primary provider. Her account of moments when she had nothing and God provided for her buttresses the importance of divine providence in the lives of Christians. Although the situation worsens, the author is not moved, as it increases her faith. She attributes the success of the entire process to God, who she believes has worked through doctors, family, and friends.
In a word, I can describe Chad's Triumph as eye-opening. It has enough to inspire and motivate with its detailed account, expert plotting, applicable Bible verses, simple language, and tone. At 164 pages, readers can go through it multiple times in one day. The concise nature also makes for a quick read.
I found the message of hope and perseverance beautiful in every way. Chad would prove to us that one must continue to stay hopeful while taking necessary precautions. His positive spirit would remain worthy of emulation. At some point, I felt that the author was unnecessarily sentimental with her religious belief. However, in her defense, it would be natural to be sentimental in very tough situations. The author expressed her humanity!
This book will continue to stay relevant, hopeful, and inspirational. I will recommend it to Christians seeking faith in the face of adversity. Also, people dealing with any terminal illness and their loved ones, regardless of faith, can draw strength from this book.
My complaint would be the shoddy editing work. For a short book, I expected better. For starters, the number of grammatical errors was heart-wrenching. I even saw some that made me reckon that the book might not have been edited at all. Therefore, I'd rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. Thorough editing would boost the rating of this book.
