Description
Finding Refuge charts the journey that Tony & Evelyn Horsfall made after Evelyn's condition with cancer became terminal. It follows them as they went from care at home to the local hospice, and then to a Care Home, where both of them contracted the coronavirus. Tony was hospitalised for 9 days in Intensive Care, but recovered, but was then separated from Evelyn for a month before she finally passed away. The book is built around daily postings that Tony made during this five month period, sharing openly and honesty his thoughts and feelings. He found great comfort from the Bible, and shares his thoughts on the book of Ruth, and Psalm 13, one of the songs of lament. Throughout this time, although isolated from friends and family, Tony and Evelyn were upheld by a world-wide stream of prayer, and their story is a testament to the power of prayer. It will encourage all who read as the pandemic continues.
