I was on the phone today with a fellow SBTS student who notified me that Dr. Donald Whitney has recently been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his colon. Tomorrow (Tuesday, December 20, 2005) he will be having surgery. I went over to his website to read an update (click here) on his health condition. It looks like the doctors might have to remove a part of his colon (depending upon what they find). If you would like to contact him or send him an email, his contact information is here. You can also email him at his SBTS email located here.
Dr. Whitney has written several books which I have read and reread time and again. You may know him best as the author of Spiritual Disciples for the Christian Life. May the Lord, the God of all comfort, bring he and his family peace and rest in his sovereignty. Church, let us pray!
That was a good book…
