About the Author
John D. Talbert knows firsthand the affect of cancer; when he was fifteen his dad died of the disease. For over twenty-two years, he has offered counsel for many cancer patients, in the course of his ministry, as a pastor of the First Southern Baptist Church of Northglenn, Colorado.
However, when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in August of 2010, his understanding was different. The Lord had some lessons to teach him and cancer was a method of delivering these. He regards this disease as one of the greatest gifts the Lord has bestowed upon him. Through cancer, God allows John to minister to people in all sorts of troubles and trials as never before.
He looks forward to everything the Lord has in store for the future, as he continues to live in the north Denver area and serves the congregation in Northglenn.
