“I AM THE LORD, THE GOD OF ALL FLESH.
IS THERE ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR ME?”

—JEREMIAH 32:27 NKJV

Epilogue

Battle against cancer can be a season of profound spiritual growth

It is a terrifying truth that cancer can strike anyone, but I pray you’ve found comfort and encouragement in the all-important truth that nothing is bigger than God.

I also hope you’ve seen that a battle against cancer can be a season of profound spiritual growth. Take advantage of it: Wholeheartedly embrace any treatment and any procedure you need. Choose to trust your doctors and nurses. Expect good results from western medicine and the amazing cancer-fighting, lifesaving technologies, procedures, and drugs the world’s brightest minds have produced. Trust that God wants to heal you. Befriend Jesus, walk with Him through the unknowns that lie ahead, and trust Him to save you. In other words, make the decision to live.

And that means—as I’ve said before—embrace chemo. Visualize cancer cells being utterly destroyed by this amazing medicine you’re being injected with. Get excited when you see nasty stuff being mixed into your saline drip because that’s what’s gonna kick cancer’s ass. Picture the chemo drugs streaming through your body, washing over your bones and organs like rushing rapids on a wild mountain river—cascading, turbulent, and powerful, washing away anything in its path. Embrace the half dozen times you’ll urinate during a chemo session: the different hue of your stream means dead cancer cells are leaving your body.

Lisa Guest
Freelance Writer and Editor

“There is real freedom found in the faithfulness of God. It is not our goodness that liberates us from hardship; it is the grace of God. Rob’s journey through land mines of cancer speaks boldly that we are all survivors in Christ, set apart in holiness and love.”

Melinda Lester Yates
Artist and Cancer Survivor

“The reason that many recovery programs work is that people share their experience, strength, and hope with each other. In Rob Raban’s book he does exactly that. Being only a month away from chemo and radiation treatment myself, I gained insight and strength through his experience, and I truly feel others will as well. I know his book has helped me in my conversations with our Lord.”

Bob White
Master Kenpo Karate Instructor and Cancer Survivor

The term sky hook may be too old of a term for non-seniors but it is when there is something hanging right above you where you can reach up and grab to help lift yourself up. That’s what your book did for me.”
