God Smiled On This Jersey Girl Susanne Briggs

The author was living a normal life enjoying her family, friends, her job, and her church, and one day in 2019, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Her name was on so many prayer lists, and her Christian friends were lifting her spirits daily by telling her that Jesus could heal her, and she believed them. She thanked Jesus every day for healing her even though she really did not know if she would die or not from the disease. In spite of suffering significantly from the cancer and the treatments, she felt the presence and love of God more profoundly in her life than at any other time of her life. After months of treatment, she had surgery to remove the cancer, and the surgeon told her the pathologist could not find one cancer cell in everything they removed from her. She received her miracle. She is cancer-free. The author, never in a million years, thought she would write a book to tell the miracles that God gave her, but when she received healing of pancreatic cancer, she wondered why Jesus healed her and spared her life. Most people die from this kind of cancer. As she prayed about it, she had a strong feeling that God wanted her to write this book to help others know that He is alive and loves them and has the power to heal them, physically and spiritually. Many are struggling with hopelessness and pain in this sometimes scary world, and only Jesus can gift them with His peace that passes all understanding. By His stripes, we are healed.
