When God & Cancer Meet

Cancer is a very deep pit, but God’s healing touch is deeper still.
Cancer survivor Lynn Eib knows from experience that God can touch you. Right where you are, whoever you are: Newly diagnosed and in shock, praying there’s been some mistake. Facing surgery, hoping the doctor can get it all. Holding the hand of a loved one, trying to be strong. Trudging through chemotherapy and radiation, hoping they work. Undergoing tests, longing for good news.

When God & Cancer Meet is a book of powerful stories about cancer patients and their families who have been touched by God in miraculous ways.

When God and Cancer Meet is a harbor of hope and a bounty of blessings for those devastated by a dreadful diagnosis. Dale A. Matthews, M.D., author of The Faith Factor: Proof of the Power of Prayer

Although the statistics said that she would not survive, Lynn Eib has not only survived but has shared her wisdom. A valuable read to anyone struggling with cancer. Diane M. Komp, M.D., professor emerita of pediatric oncology at Yale University and author of Why Me? A Doctor Looks at the Book of Job

Need a dose of real hope? Then here’s your prescription. When God & Cancer Meet will open your eyes to the promises of God in times of suffering and to the merciful God who made those promises. Dave Dravecky, president and founder of Dave Dravecky's Outreach of Hope

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 recommendation, and my support group will be purchasing multiple 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

In a seventh-grade journalism class, Lynn Eib decided she wanted to grow up to be a newspaper reporter. Two years later she applied to be the sports editor of her school's weekly paper even though the administration said only boys could have that job. She finally convinced them she knew sports and would stay out of the boys' locker room and got the job. Her love for newspaper reporting never waned and she majored in journalism at the Ohio State University, where she also met the love of her life on her first and last blind date. They married eight months later in 1973 and her husband, Ralph, recently retired after 32 years in pastoral ministry.
