Healing River is a story of healing and wholeness. At the age of 57, Luther Cranston was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given only a few months to live. Family members say he took the news as though it was a message he had been expecting for a long time, the inevitable outcome of a hard life. Understandably he began to ponder his life and his rapidly approaching death. He decided it might be too late to make amends for the life he had led but it may not be too late to seek God’s mercy.
