Choosing faith over fear...

"Every once in a while, God gives us someone who lives so fully-in health and sickness, fear and love, darkness and light..."

Fresh out of high school and eager to spread God's love through missions, 18-year-old Allie Speck, chose a Christian college. What she didn't realize-is she would soon embark on a journey involving personal sacrifice and suffering that would test her in unimaginable ways.

After being diagnosed with cancer, Allie held tight to God's promise-to never leave or forsake her-and she was healed. But the cancer returned and this time the fight was different-the battle was spiritual. Allie put on her armor once again and persevered through this trial by focusing on hope in Christ and seeking joy in life's tiny, precious moments.

This young woman's heart-breaking, yet beautiful story, shows how just one person's faith can inspire many others to find a greater meaning and purpose in life-despite their time on earth.
