Review - Cancer : My Wake-up Call

As I go through this book chapter by chapter, it makes my heart beat faster and faster each time as I anticipated James reaction to his battle with his biggest test of his life, the stomach cancer.

I have the privilege to journey with James as a fellow believer in Christ and God had our path crossed by divine appointment from the moment he was well to the time when he was first diagnosed with stomach cancer.

As a body of Christ, the cell group came together to rally our prayers and support for James and his immediate family throughout the surgery, chemotherapy and healing process. It was not easy to see and hear his ups and downs even though we are not the one facing all the trials and tribulations.

If I may visualise what James went through, it would be like a man sitting in a small boat facing a giant Tsunami wave coming his way. He has got an option, either to row away from the raging waves or to steer his boat in the direction of the waves. James has chosen the latter and I believed he did it because he knew that his maker, Jesus is in the same boat together with him all the time. And with that he had nothing to fear, not even the rampaging Tsunami waves!

His testimony of trust and faith in his almighty God will be a great game changer for many who are suffering from cancer. His determination and supernatural strength will be an inspiration to others so that they can also learn what he went through.

At the end, one single statement that I can draw from reading this book “With God, nothing is impossible!” Trust that you will be blessed by reading James’s honest sharing of his life and struggles. James Oh, the young shepherd boy who defeated Goliath the giant soldier with just a sling and a stone.
