improving the lives of the children of the cancer community through the art of storytelling

When 15-year-old Christian Englert is diagnosed with an aggressive and rare form of brain cancer, he is forced to confront the most terrifying challenge of his life: the possibility of losing everything he once took for granted. Already questioning his faith in God and even doubting His existence, he’s suddenly thrown into the fiery storm of cancer treatments. As the disease takes hold, Christian’s body, mind, and spirit become battlegrounds. He embarks on a personal spiritual journey - wrestling with doubt, anger, and despair, but through it all, he finds hope, peace, and purpose. He learns to fight not just for his life but for a deeper understanding of what it means to live with faith in the face of adversity. Throughout his war on cancer, with a host of family and friends surrounding him in love and prayer, Christian discovers that God has never left him. This memoir serves as a powerful testament to resilience, strength, and faith when they are tested by the fiery trials of life. It’s a raw, inspiring story about love, loss, and finding Jesus’ light in the darkest of times.
