"When you have read these simple pages, you won't say "It's Raining Miracles" is a great book." You won't say "Don Evans is a great writer." But your heart will know that God is still doing today the same things He did when Jesus walked the earth. You will hear testimony after testimony of just how great our God really is." "'It's time saith the Lord. It's time to see the fire on the roof again. It's time for the wind to blow. 'It's time for the lame to be made whole, for the blind to see, and the lepers to be cleansed. It's time that I will do mighty acts so that men can be saved. I will do it through your hands,' saith God. Some will say, 'Is that the Don Evans we know?' Yes, but they will hardly recognize you, for the anointing of God will be so strong and powerful upon you'" (Prophecy given by Danny Griffin, September 1987). The late great Irene Burk Harrell said, "Many say they have a miracle ministry or flow in the Prophetic, and we see very little. But not so when Brother Don Evans comes to town. The proof is in the pudding, they say, and truly He does provide the proof to back up his ministry from God."
Lung Cancer. The mere words strike fear in all of us—fear of the diagnosis, the treatment, and the ultimate prognosis. Where is the hope? It can be found in The Living Room by Bonnie Addario, a seventeen-year survivor of stage 3B lung cancer who established the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation in 2006 along with the Addario Lung Cancer Medical Institute in 2008, and is now co-founder and chair of the GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer (2019). A determined activist on behalf of patients suffering from the disease, Bonnie has built an extraordinary global network of fellow activists, patients, doctors, oncologists, researchers, and caregivers—a thriving and ever-growing community devoted and committed to advocating on behalf of those patients and families affected by the disease. Among all cancers, none are more pernicious than lung cancer. Nearly 150,000 Americans are lost to the disease every year, amounting to around 400 every single day. It accounts for one-third of all cancer diagnoses, the most deaths of any cancer and as many losses as the next three most deadly cancers (breast, prostate, and colon) combined. The Living Room, which draws its name from a virtual support group live-streamed internationally once a month by Bonnie’s foundation, tells the stories of twenty lung cancer patients who have bravely fought the disease and found ways to thrive, not just to survive. The goal of Bonnie’s efforts is to break down the barriers and stigmas associated with lung cancer and demonstrate how the new wave of treatment options are moving to make it a manageable disease. The people you will meet in The Living Room will lead you to believe that miracles are all around us, that they’re happening every day, and that they just might happen to the next cancer patient who picks up this book. All proceeds from The Living Room will go directly to research and patient services.
