Your Forever Friend Pringle Franklin

When Preston Hipp died at age 57, more than 1,000 people turned out for his funeral in Charleston, S. C. A surprising number of men confessed that Preston had been their very best friend, someone who had truly known them, accepted them, and loved them. During his 8-year battle with prostate cancer, Preston endured a progressive series of tortures. Despite this, he leaned into his faith in Jesus Christ to overcome the sickness and the fear, listening to and encouraging others even as he himself was growing increasingly ill. This collection of writings by Preston and about Preston offers a template of how to carry out a rich and meaningful life, even in the face of disabling -- and ultimately deadly -- adversity.
