What if the world stops turning, but the clock keeps ticking?
When grandpa Bert den Hertog hears that his grandson Boaz is seriously ill and, according to the doctors, will not survive, his world collapses. Instead of playing the carefree role of grandpa he finds himself caught up in a storm of medical ethics, questions of faith and deep uncertainty.
FINDING MEANING IN THE PRESENT is a raw and honest travelogue of a grandpa who refuses to give up but still has to let go.
From the shocking news in the hospital to the miraculous moments of 'millimetre improvements'. Bert takes you along on his quest:

• How do you relate to doctors who see no hope?
• Where is God in suffering?
• How do you find the strength to enjoy a smile when the future is completely shrouded in mist?

This book is an ode to life, however fragile, and an encouragement to anyone who has to deal with the brokenness of existence.
FINDING MEANING IN THE PRESENT does not offer easy answers, but it does offer a hopeful perspective for those who are looking for rays of light in the night.
