When James Earp was diagnosed with heart failure, he assumed he wouldn't have long to live. He had no idea that he would be offered a new lease on life while watching his son David's slow battle with cancer. As James struggled with his and his son's health crises, he both questioned and found comfort in his faith. In this inspirational story, James talks candidly about finding hope and healing in the midst of tragedy and learning once again how to really live. "The Governor and the Queen" is the account of a family's living through a series of rare, life-and-death ordeals and doing so with courage and determination. It's an inspirational story of remarkable resilience and perseverance in the face of repeated adversity, an eloquent testimony of unrelenting hope and faith.
