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.”
