Revised Edition Coming Soon, in which Dan will talk about life after the loss of a loved one, letting go and moving on. Available Fall 2010.
Take My Hand invites the reader to journey with Dan Cole as he confronts his life’s greatest challenges—the death of his wife, Sandy, from cancer and his simultaneous cancer diagnosis and treatment. The letters that Dan and Sandy wrote to friends throughout their struggle are reproduced here, offering readers abundant inspiration and comfort. Throughout the letters, including the final ones written after Sandy’s death, the message to their readers is clear: faith in God, love for one another, and, surprisingly, a sense of humor are the secrets to overcoming grief and loss.
In spite of its subject, this book is one of hope and optimism for anyone confronting a life-altering experience.

Revised Edition Coming Soon, with full color photos of South Africa, a perfect Gift book for Christmas. Available Fall 2010.
The true stories and free verse in this book are from the hearts and pens of black South Africans. By themselves they reflect how God has made a significant impact on the author’s lives and are warm reminders of how God reaches across our planet to touch the lives of people everywhere. As a collection, they are unforgettable.
The stories and poems take on deeper meaning when placed in the context of the author’s culture, their recent history and in some cases their language expressions. An understanding of the legacy of apartheid, the place of women in society and what it is like to be poor makes these reflections even more powerful.
This Edition does NOT include the Music CD.
“The stories were fascinating, awe inspiring, enjoyable and eye opening. I especially enjoyed the poems. It was like reading the Psalms or Job. I found myself anticipating the next story and read on until I was completely finished.”
The Rev. Charles and Sarah West, American Baptist
Missionaries, Johannesburg, South Africa
“For South African youth of Soweto . . . the objective each day or week is "to survive." To survive the heat or cold, to survive the joblessness, the boredom, the abuse, the hunger, the lack of privacy, the noise, the dust, the mosquitoes and flies. Having taught at the Baptist Convention College (Orlando section of Soweto) . . . and knowing the students in Dan Cole’s book, I am freshly reminded of the resiliency of these young followers of Christ . . . A "theology of survival" views each moment or opportunity as a crisis, a notion we in America fail to comprehend in our society of affluence and privilege.”
Nelson O. Hayashida, Missionary to South Africa, 1994–1999
Author of Dreams in the African Church
Dan Cole, an experienced pastor, church planter and international missionary, has trained church leaders for more than twenty-five years. Cole interviewed each of the participants during his two-year assignment to South Africa.
