Pigeon on a Hill

About the Book

There is no doubt, it is first and foremost the story of Jonathan’s journey battling cancer. But perhaps even more, it is a book of lessons. Lessons in …
Hope, and the power it has to change minds and hearts.
Friendship, and what is means to care for others.
Joy, and the obstacles it can overcome.
Trust, because, after all, the doctors need lots of it.
Faith, and the miracles God can work. 

I feel privileged to have played even a small role in the story. The view I was afforded makes me certain that those characteristics are not only true of the book, but that all involved with Jonathan from 2008 to 2009 felt part of them too. Praise God! 

About the Author

Pigeon on a Hill is the story of one young man’s fight with bone cancer, and a touching reminder of the importance of hope and faith. In his detailed account of his fight with osteosarcoma, author Jonathan Stepp pays tribute to the friends, family, and medical professionals who guided and supported him along the way. Each chapter begins with a dedication to the people who inspired him to stay positive and be strong in his faith, and motivational passages from popular songs, folk wisdom, and the Bible are sprinkled throughout the book. Jonathan also wrote original poems detailing his experience to inspire readers as they face their own challenges. The twenty-six chapters comprise a detailed chronicle of the ABCs of cancer, covering topics such as attitude, goals, prayer, and trust. Whether you or a loved one is facing a fight with cancer or dealing with another one of life’s challenges, this book will be a welcome reflection on support, recovery, and never taking life for granted.
