Download or read book When God Cancer Meet written by Lynn Eib and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book of powerful stories about cancer patients and their families who have been touched by God in miraculous ways—some in their bodies, others in their minds, all in their spirits—offers inspiring testimony that, when God and cancer meet, cancer is conquered. The author, herself a cancer survivor, gives us a behind-the-scenes glimpse of 18 personal encounters with God. Here's what others are saying about When God & Cancer Meet: “Lynn has captured the essence of hope in this book; captured hope in ways that I have always taught in my professional world as well as in my spiritual community. This book is a treasure to those who struggle with the fears of cancer and I want to keep it close at hand for those reasons.” —Judy Lentz, RN, MSN, OCN, NHA Executive Director, Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association “I co-lead a cancer support group at my church, and we have been looking for “just the right book” to study and discuss. Guess what?! Lyn wrote it! I was truly touched by all the stories; of course being a cancer-survivor myself, I saw myself in one of the stories, as if Lyn were writing my own personal story. I was truly impressed with the way she incorporated scripture, and God's viewpoint into every story. I think that is of utmost importance for anyone facing this disease. Lyn's book is “Real-Life”; some quickly are healed of the cancer, some deal with it over a prolonged period, some deal with recurrences, some, mercifully, die rather quickly. I share Lyn's belief that GOD sometimes chooses to heal in different ways: physically, emotionally and spiritually. In the process of surviving a primary brain tumor, surgery, Chemo, and radiation, I gave my life to Christ, realizing that my physical health was not GOD's main concern, my Spiritual health was the biggest victim of a disease that needed attention and this was the way He FINALLY got my attention. Lyn's book alludes to this fact in every one of her stories. In this day and age that we are living, where it is against the rules to even mention GOD ( unless we mention His name in vain) it is refreshing to have a book written, praising Him for His care and concern for us; written by a woman who has experienced the disease firsthand, and continues to minister to others with cancer, and to work for a Doctor! who isn't ashamed of his Faith ! WOW!! Obviously, Lyn's book has my highest reccomendation, and my support group will be purchasing multple copies, and we plan to invite Lyn to speak with us. Lyn is a wonderful person, and I thank God for allowing our paths to cross. I'm sure this book will touch many lives,and give many a new perspective and hope with their cancer.” —Chris Winand, cancer survivor

Book excerpt: "We've found something." There may be no more terrifying words in the English language, especially when they are uttered by one's doctor. That something for Rob Raban was cancer, specifically, non-Hodgkins Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma, Stage 4. The cancer was present on his seventh right rib and throughout the lymph nodes in his underarms, neck, and chest. Rob was thirty-nine years old.As a young husband and the father of three elementary school-aged boys, Rob was terrified of leaving them fatherless. Upon hearing the diagnosis, Rob asked his oncologist what the prognosis was and what to tell his sons. The oncologist took off her glasses, consulted the chart, commented that she also had three boys, and started to cry. Rob was unwilling to accept her tears. "God is not afraid of this cancer," Rob stood up to say, "and we won't be afraid of it either." And so begins the story of Rob's fight against cancer and how he was able to give this disease over fully to God. Trusting God with Cancer is the author's vulnerable account of his journey into this realm of fear, and he provides a roadmap to help others successfully navigate this world. From confronting death and leaving his beloved family behind, to giving his fears over to God, to telling the kids, having faith, choosing a mind-set of success, embracing chemo, cherishing loved ones, and appreciating everyday miracles, both large and small, Trusting God with Cancer is a life-affirming testimony of how much our God in heaven loves us. With His love and provision, we can bear the crucible of cancer with greater joy, peace, and strength than we ever thought possible.

Download or read book Faith Hope and Cancer written by Carolyn Koncal Breinich and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-20 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood cancer showed me God's role in my life and how important faith and hope truly are. I am looking for an agent for my inspirational biography Faith, Hope and Cancer: A Childhood Cancer Survivor's Journey. This is my story of surviving cancer treatment, struggling with my diagnosis during already sensitive teenage years, and then navigating life after cancer. I was lucky to learn at the early age that life has meaning and a purpose, but I did not learn this the easy way, by far. I was diagnosed with childhood leukemia at age thirteen. My diagnosis was not followed by droves of support from friends, family and strangers, in fact I felt quite alone, within a week of learning I had leukemia my friends had disappeared. I found myself facing my new, somewhat frightening life on my own. I know that God directed my path and helped me survive childhood cancer and the depression that came years later. My hope is that this book will make readers laugh, cry and feel inspired. I hope it helps cancer patients, both now and in the future, realize even more deeply that they are not alone. I made mistakes too, and I hope readers learn from these, just as I have. I hope healthcare workers read this book and gain a deeper understanding of their patients' needs, and especially gain insight on how to approach children and young adults diagnosed with a life threatening illness. I hope teachers learn more about how to support students when they are diagnosed with cancer. I hope parents and siblings of people diagnosed with cancer can read this and understand the importance they hold for their loved one during this journey. Lastly, I hope that all of my readers discover the importance of faith and hope, especially when it seems there is nothing else.
