December 25, 2014, would be a Christmas to remember for my wife and me. After a wild pre-dawn rush to a Florida emergency room, our new detour began - the cancer earthquake had shaken our family. We were both shell-shocked to hear the term “lymphoma” and realized we had to act immediately upon the advice of the ER doctor. Our life was now on hold. To make matters worse, we were 1000 miles from home with no friends, family, and our church family. However, we were never really alone as our Lord Jesus Christ was with us every step of the way.

How could we use this trial of life to help others? We immediately were burdened to write a book from the aspect of patient and caregiver, since each faces different challenges.

This book is a chronological journal of the days and weeks of our five-month journey with cancer and chemo, our ups and downs, our innermost feelings, and the marvelous way the Lord guided us to fight back and endure. His provision, protection, and daily guidance from the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit amazed us.

Read our story and see how God can be an ever-present Help when you face any trouble, too!

ENDORSEMENTS:

I wanted to thank you and your wife for your testimony through the book The Cancer Earthquake. I purchased it this week for a guy in our town. In our Sunday night services, we are finishing up a series on the Book of Habakkuk and how God desires us to see and handle tragedy and hardship in our lives. For that reason, the Lord impressed me to start reading this book this afternoon. What a tremendous blessing. I will be using some of those points in my message tonight. Thank you so much! Preacher, PA

My wife and I want you to know what a blessing your book on your cancer experience has been to us. As you may know. I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer last August 2018. God is blessing and answering prayer in major ways. We have been exceptionally blessed with our treatment. We give all the glory to Him. My wife just finished reading your book and loved it. (OH retired pastor)

I finished your book about Cancer today. Praise God for His mercy in your life, Randy. I also purchased Grace Through Grief when you were here. Reading in Ezekiel today and seeing the 'refining process' the Father uses-- that we may encourage others in the trials that come. I look forward to the Grandma publication and want to gift that to my sisters and several friends who are grandmoms. Thank you for all the Beautiful Scriptures and book contents. May your experience continue to bring blessings as you serve the Lord you love. (Arizona Customer)

By the way, I wanted to tell you that Randy's oncologist in Florida, Dr. Li, ordered several copies of The Cancer Earthquake book from your website and put them in her rooms when she is in the office. Most of the books have walked off with patients. (Florida Customer)

I just wanted to jot you all a note and let you know I just read your Cancer Earthquake book. It was so good. Thank you for being so open and vulnerable. I'm so glad to know of a good resource to give to those who are going through the battle of cancer. Just wanted y'all to know it was a blessing to me. (Pennsylvania Customer)

In the midst of their Lymphoma journey, while Dad (Randy Starr) was having the chemo treatments, Dad & Mom (Shirley Starr) journaled. They did it while they were going through it so that they didn't forget anything. There are so many people who have cancer, and so many caregivers of those who are hurting. This was something that they felt they needed to write in a book to encourage others going through a similar journey. The Cancer Earthquake came out in late July 2015. If you know someone who is battling cancer, is a caregiver, or is struggling through cancer (or any crisis) yourself, I encourage you to get this book. They have shared Scriptures to encourage and so much more. God uses like-minded believers to encourage other believers. Dad and Mom sincerely pray that this book will be a blessing and encouragement to those who read it. ♥ (Marcia Hardecker, Missionary to the Philippines & the Starrs' daughter)

Cancer Earthquake meant life to us (esp. me as the caregiver) as my husband has been battling cancer. I've read it to my husband every night, including the Scriptures and promises. It's so easy to get wrapped in what was happening that I'd forget to focus on the Lord. This book helped us to keep refocusing on the Lord. (Member of New Jersey church, March 2025)
