“Incurable… Get your affairs in order.” I remember watching his face turn pale as we heard the words. It was September of 2002 when Hannibal Martin-Zinna, my husband of 8 months, received the devastating news of terminal cancer. This book is a compilation of the main lessons God taught us during the most difficult season of our lives. These are the weapons that we used to fight this five-year battle on a daily basis and that helped us stand strong. These are not formulas, but principles from the Word of God that had very practical results in our lives. Whether you are facing a battle today, or know someone who is, or if you’re just curious to know more about living a victorious Christian life, I pray that these lessons will encourage you and help you to stand. I trust that your reading of the following pages will draw you into a pursuit for the heart of God that is deeper than just a change of your current circumstances or an improvement of symptoms. Ultimately, the lessons learned in the battle are not just about how to win, but how to discover the deepest mysteries—who you are,who God is, and why it matters. —Dr. Jack Hayford Founding Pastor, The Church On the Way Founder and Chancellor, The King’s University When my life was falling apart in every way (marriage, finances, and even spiritually), the Lord strongly called me back and then put this book in my hands. Her words of testimony are an anointed blessing of instruction in the lessons of totally following God. —M.
