About the Book:

In 1956, C. S. Lewis’ wife died after a brief marriage of four years. Lewis, a confirmed bachelor, was alone again and inconsolable. He was angry, and his anger and grief threatened his faith. Lewis’ rage, grief, and unforgiveness seemed to have no solution. In this dark time, he wrote A Grief Observed, a long obituary to his wife, the aftereffects of her death, and his recovery from grief.

For the same purpose was Two Weeks written by an average Christian guy. He decided a similar journal could help him, not to regain his faith--for he was in no danger of losing it--but to persevere, with his faith as his guide.

Two weeks was how long Fran had from the day she was informed of her cancer. Aloha is because of the many meanings Aloha has to the Hawaiians. Aloha defines the Hawaiian philosophy of living. Each of the letters stands for a phrase. The last A stands for “Patience to be expressed with Perseverance, Be Faithful.” Aloha.
