The following are excerpts from Messages From the Edge of Eternity by Dr. Joel Philip Church. This book tells of his experiences and feelings during and after a diagnosis of a very rare type of cancer. He was given, at the most, a few weeks to live. He has recovered and now he and his wife, Vicki, are being booked around the world to give this tremendous testimony. Results of these services, revivals and crusades are salvation, healing, miracles, deliverance and self renewal.

"The surgery was stopped when the pathologist  found Anaplastic cancer (an inoperative type). It was reported as one of the most rare and most aggressive types of cancer known. It was so aggressive that it could be seen growing by the naked eye. "Three members of the surgical team, came into my room with the report of terminal cancer. They gave a slight chance of living more than a few weeks. They suggested radiation and chemotherapy at the same time to extend life very slightly. "The team said that this type of cancer was so rare that it was almost unknown. In the few cases it was found was always in old men and these men were usually in otherwise poor health. In other words, my case was about one in a million. "The medical team research found only thirty to fifty people in the past twenty-five to thirty years. Only three hospitals in the world had treated it. One was the Mayo Clinic, another was a clinic in Sweden and the third was a university hospital. "I need to stop here and insert an anecdote about Vicki. This took place sometime back in the seventies while we were living in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. We had two cars,one of which was a worn out Chevrolet Corvair convertible parked in front of our home. The battery was completely dead and it had not run in many months. The tags were even expired. Well, it happened that she needed to go to a grocery store but I had driven the other car to work.

She laid her hands on the dilapidated car and prayed. She loaded the two boys, put the keys in the ignition. A few minutes later I met her on the road. Yes, a trail of smoke followed and the half flat tires trembled, but she was driving a car that wouldn't run. As far as I know that was the last time it was driven while in our possession. "She is indeed a woman of faith. I have learned over the years to highly respect and accept her words of stability, comfort and confidence. "Dr. Vicki asked the pathologist the percentages of his diagnosis being correct; he said, `about ninety-nine percent.' She said, 'Then there is a one percent chance that you are wrong, correct?' At the Door of Death "I spend most of the time trying to decide how to handle my final days. I can tell you that priorities change when you face eternity. Who will take care of Vicki? To whom should I leave what? How would CFM and FBCS continue? Who would take the reigns? I decided I would leave my small coin collection to our grandson, Henry. "Soon my mind turned to eternity. You may class me as a weak Christian, but questions began to enter my mind. Was I truly ready? I have made many mistakes. Had I been truly forgiven? You can talk about security in your salvation, but when you stand ready to meet Him you realize there is no room for error. "Then, from heaven's courts a peace came upon me. I felt no fear, no remorse. Of course, I did not want to leave my precious family and cherished friends, but I was ready. I begin to think about others that were facing eternity then I faced the reality that I had been slack in telling people about the most important event concerning the life of man." - From Heaven's Courts - Shackled to a bed that led to the grave, Beyond the ability of man to save. Darkness was around my spirit and me, The demonic coven reveled in victory. - Then descended from heaven's courts A peace that defies verbal support Fluttering from the tongues of angel's praise Songs and hallelujah's not legal to raise. - Speaking so my heart alone could understand Echoed God's eternal, majestic command. "Satan you must go, before you does majesty stand Not in the form of royalty, but in the form of man." - Dr. Joel Philip Church – Copyright, January, 1999
