What is one of the most compelling life experiences a faith leader will ever face? Alec Hill, President Emeritus of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, and author of Living in Bonus Time: Surviving Cancer, Finding New Purpose, faced his own dark night and came out with a fresh, new perspective that he calls, bonus time. Alec has a remarkable story to tell about how he faced his own moment of truth; what he learned through it all speaks to what matters most in life.
