Summary

‘How long have I got, Doc? Five days? Five weeks? Five months? Five years?’

‘Months,’ the oncologist replied.

When he heard this devastating news, Steve Legg and his wife Bekah made a bold decision – they would get busy living and get busy laughing.

Yes, there were tears that day and in those that followed, but Steve is a funnyman and a man of faith. He was never going to give cancer the last laugh.

In his latest book, international baffler and funny guy, Steve Legg, faces the no-joke reality of the diagnosis of a terminal illness. An engaging listen throughout, the book will lead you to the most wonderful of all conclusions: that we are never, ever alone, and never, ever forsaken.

But this is not just Steve’s story; he draws lessons that can change not only the way we view our death – but also our life.

Hope. Heart. Humour. Humanity. This gripping story has everything.

Great listen from start to end!

I recently had the pleasure of immersing myself in an incredible and authentic narrative whilst travelling on the train each morning to work, and it was an experience like no other. From start to finish, listening to this story was an absolute delight. What truly sets it apart is its authenticity; every moment felt genuine, and so true

The storytelling captivated me from the very beginning, weaving together a tapestry of emotions, struggles, and triumphs. It's rare to come across a tale that feels so raw yet so real and true to life but this story effortlessly achieves just that and it’s lovey to also hear some great jokes also!

Raw and Inspiring!

This audiobook blew me away with its touching, real-life story of the author's battle with terminal illness. The author's story is a testament to the indomitable human spirit, unwavering faith, and innate ability to find humor in the most challenging circumstances. Legg's narrative goes beyond just coping with cancer; it's an invitation to reexamine the essence of life through a lens of hope, humor, and humanity. Legg's journey is a brilliant and inspiring reminder that even when faced with the unthinkable, life can be rich with faith, laughter, and support from loved ones. I will be praying and rooting for Legg regardless of his next chapter in life.

Refreshingly honest, heart-warming, and containing hope.

How would you cope with a diagnosis from your doctor that you had less than one year to live?

This is something that Steve and his wife and family bravely and honestly face up to.

He explains their journey, in such a heart-warming way, with a bit of humour thrown in.

Refreshingly honest. Read by Steve himself. Such a good listen it makes you want to listen again!

I would recommend to anyone in a similar situation. So heartwarming. Ending with some Hope to share.

Fantastic and honest!

A book that made me laugh out loud and then cry so much that I had to pull my car over. Full of truth about the realities of terminal illness but peppered with hope and the love of Jesus. A must read!

Let's Laugh and Live!

This audiobook is full of faith, uncertainty, hope, trials, laughter, and tears. Yes, all those things can exist in paradox together, and Steve shares his journey in a beautifully inspiring and personal way that prove it. Steve and his wife Bekah inspired me through their courage and love for Jesus despite a terminal cancer diagnosis and all that this involved. Steve's perspective about death really encouraged me because of some things I am dealing with right now and because 3 key people in my life went to be with Jesus in the past year, 2 completely unexpectedly. But stories like Steve's remind me again that with the Good Shepherd, I am never alone. And even though death is awful, because of Jesus' victory, death will never have "the last laugh", or as my pastor likes to say "the final say-so." Our lives are in God's hands. Thank you for sharing from your heart.

Exactly what I needed to hear....

...And I will listen to this again, and again. Steve's open, raw and honest reflections tackle issues that for most people today, are taboo. It's incredibly humbling and thought-provoking. I definitely teared up on a busy commuter train, but mostly smiled. You can hear Steve's smile in his voice at times and it is infectious. His tone of voice makes it feel as though you're chatting down on the beach with a coffee, but the message of everlasting hope and faith is so sincere. Thank you, Steve!

Well written, honest account of a Christian battling with Cancer

Steve has written a detailed and honest reflection on his battle with Cancer so far. It gives a great reminder that as Christians we aren't immune from suffering but that God is with us through it all and will one day take us home.
