{"product_id":"9781888889772","title":"Cathedral: An Illness and a Healing","description":"“This is the story about an aging man who builds a holy place in his backyard. It involves bugs, lousy weather, cancer and spiritual waverings.”\u003cbr\u003eThus begins Bill Henderson’s Cathedral: An Illness and a Healing, a memoir about cancer and construction.\u003cbr\u003eOn the face of it Cathedral is most akin to Henderson’s Tower: Faith, Vertigo and Amateur Construction (FSG), a Thoreau-esque chronicle of building a tall structure on the grounds of his hilltop property in Maine. But Cathedral is more overtly a spiritual memoir like his Simple Gifts: One Man’s Search for Grace (S\u0026amp;S), a tribute to the pleasures of singing hymns.\u003cbr\u003eLike all his books, Cathedral is equal parts wisdom, self-deprecation, laughs, aching honesty, and inspiration. And, like his cathedral itself, it is lovingly constructed.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pushcart Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043580821744,"sku":"9781888889772","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781888889772_p0.jpg?v=1763607187","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781888889772","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
