"In sickness and in health . . ."
At age 29, Matt Weber was newly married to Nell, the girl of his dreams. They had bought their first house, adopted a dog, and looked forward to a blissful first year together. But shortly after his honeymoon, Matt's recurring, severe stomach troubles send him to the emergency room--and after a five-hour, life-saving surgery in which a third of his stomach is removed, Matt and Nell's plans for their new life are dramatically altered.
Forced to undergo a lengthy and painful recovery, Matt finds that his relationships with God, himself, and his wife are forever changed. Operating on Faith is the gutsy story of a happy-go-lucky Catholic guy whose life was literally burst apart then stitched back together--with faith in the God he'd always known, the sweet and inexhaustible love of his wife, and healthy if sometimes irreverent doses of humor.
For everyone who's ever had plans and expectations upset by life's events, Operating on Faith proves just how necessary love, faith, and a little grit are in facing major challenges and emerging on the other side.
