About this listen

As young adults, John and Kara—father and daughter—had much in common. Avid sports lovers. Life of the party. Abiding faith in God. And a diagnosis that blindsided and benched them: aggressive, terminal cancer.

John and Kara battled their diseases with cutting-edge medical treatments. Both had countless prayers lifted on their behalf. Both believed in a powerful, loving God who could heal. Yet one lived and one died. How can we accept both endings as from the hand of God? Did one person have greater favor? Deeper faith?

More than a raw and gripping narrative, Healing or Homecoming is a faith walk through suffering and uncertainty. In two divinely scripted stories, God reveals himself as good, faithful, and sovereign—independent of the outcome.

Enter the author’s firsthand account of her husband’s and daughter’s life-threatening illnesses and find comfort in real-life responses to difficult questions:

  • Where is God in suffering?
  • Does God really have a plan and purpose for our lives?
  • Will God honor my hope and prayers for healing?
  • Is there abundant life after devastating loss?

The Healing that I Needed

I was in such a rut in my life and this book really gave me the uplifting that I needed. I feel so spiritually renewed by this book and that’s a feeling that I haven’t felt in years. I think the narration and stories in this book are truly inspiring. If you feel like your life is heading down the wrong party, I recommend you give this book a listen.

Heartfelt, Inspiring Story of Faith and Resilience

This beautifully written audiobook takes you on an emotional journey of a family facing unimaginable challenges. The story of a husband and daughter both battling cancer—one loses the battle, and one survives—is handled with such grace and authenticity. It’s not just a tale of sorrow but one of hope, faith, and the power of turning to God in the darkest times. The narrative flows seamlessly, offering a complete and satisfying story without resorting to shallow platitudes. It’s a faith-based story that genuinely inspires, reminding us of the strength we can find through faith. It deeply resonated with me, as I lost my husband to cancer and found many similarities. Highly recommended!

A fascinating and inspiring narrative

Cheryl Liberatore's life story addresses the difficult question of why God doesn't always choose to heal people physically in this life. The narrator reads well and expressively.

It made me reflect deeply

Healing or Homecoming is such a heartfelt and powerful book. The stories of John and Kara’s battles with cancer are raw and emotional, but they’re also filled with faith and hope. It made me reflect deeply on how we trust God, even when outcomes aren’t what we pray for. The author’s honesty about wrestling with big questions like suffering and loss felt so relatable. This isn’t just a book about illness—it’s about finding God’s goodness, no matter what. It really touched me and left me thinking long after I finished it.

Wow! So beautiful

I am just in love with books about God, especially when it is a story about someone who gets cancer. Life totally goes into perspective when you start to see how fragile it is, and I love going thru this journey alongside someone who is struggling.

Heartfelt

This book hit especially close to home as both of my parents were diagnosed with cancer last year. The raw, heartfelt journey of faith, loss, and hope shared by the author deeply resonated with me. It’s a comforting reminder that even in the midst of uncertainty and heartbreak, God’s presence and sovereignty remain steadfast. A truly moving and faith-strengthening read.

An Inspiring real-life spiritual journey.

I just finished listening to this audiobook, and it was a deeply moving experience. If you seek spiritual encouragement or just need a reminder of God's presence during difficult times, this is a great listen. My favorite aspect of the book is how it guides us through various stages of spiritual reflection. The author takes us on a journey of faith, healing, and finding peace in hard moments, and the audiobook truly brought these themes to life for me in a personal way. It is a powerful reminder that we are never alone, no matter what we face.

The themes of faith, sovereignty, and trust in God's plan are handled with such care that listeners can't help but feel encouraged and inspired.
What sets Healing or Homecoming apart is its delicate balance between heartbreak and hope. It wrestles with life’s hardest questions—Why do some prayers seem unanswered? Where is God in the midst of suffering?—yet offers profound reassurance of God's goodness, no matter the outcome. The dual stories of healing and homecoming (life and death) are a beautiful reminder that God's purposes transcend human understanding, and His love remains steadfast in every season.
Whether you are facing your own trials or simply seeking a deeper understanding of faith amidst uncertainty, this audiobook will encourage you to trust in God's sovereignty while embracing the fullness of His grace.

It’s raw, tough, but so worth it.

This book really got to me. John and Kara’s story felt so real, and it made me think about how I handle pain and loss. The big thing I learned? Trusting God doesn’t mean things will go how I want. The author’s honesty about grief and questions made me feel seen. If you’re dealing with doubt or loss, you’ll feel like this book gets you. It’s tough but full of hope.
