PORTLAND — Chris Faddis, author of “It is Well — Life in the Storm,” will discuss his book, his family’s incredible journey of faith, and how the memory of his late wife Angela continually inspires him, today at 7 p.m. at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, 307 Congress St.

Faddis is a father of two, Gianna, 5, and Augustine, 3. On Easter Sunday 2011, Chris’ wife Angela was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. When the doctors informed the couple of the news, Angela’s words to Chris were, “Jesus still rose, so we will trust.” The statement became the couple’s mission as they strived to trust in Christ and prayed for healing. The couple shared their journey on a Facebook support page that drew thousands of visitors.

During this time, the couple decided that perhaps they were meant to write a book to tell their story of trust. “It is Well — Life in the Storm” was set to be a memoir of a life of faith lived in the middle of the storm, but prior to completion, Angela died. She remained faithful until the end. On her death bed, Angela told Chris, “I’m at peace. I want the world to know that no matter what, they must trust in Jesus.”
