Born To Live

About the Book

My name is Lisa Allen. Prior to cancer the world seemed dark and full of sorrow. As I traveled down what was thought to be my final path in life I found myself instead on a journey. It was a search for the truth. As I began this search for the truth I began to ask many questions. Was there really a heaven? Was there really a hell? Was God real? Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would find what I found. I found a savior, a physician, a friend, a father, a confidant, a protector, and the compassionate, merciful, loving, healing, helping hand of God. There are many types of cancers in the world today. Each one holds its captive in bondage. The good news is the truth shall one day set them all free. If they search for the truth they will find him. His name is Jesus. He is the way, the truth and the life. Today I am Cancer free and I am free from sin. My family and I now serve God in every aspect of our lives. My purpose in life is to lead others down the road to a life worth living free from every form of bondage that exists. The key is the Bible and when you get down on your knees Jesus opens the door.

About the Author

When I was asked to write about myself, the first thing that came to mind was to refuse. But then I thought that if God was using me to help others, then maybe it was not such a bad idea. The second thing that came to mind was my many faults. As I named them, they laughed, telling me, “That’s not funny!” But it truly was because they all laughed. The third thing I thought was that there really isn’t much to tell. But then again, I never could resist the chance to testify. My name is Lisa Allen. I was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, where I was familiar with cancer due to the many family members and friends who had fought their battle with cancer and lost. As well as those that are still battling the disease today. I now live in a small town in Georgia with my husband and my youngest son. My oldest daughter lives fairly close by. About a year and a half ago, I was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer. The prognosis was not good. Through the encouragement of my family and friends, I decided to take the advice of the many physicians and go ahead with treatment. But I also did something on my own. I took a journey. I took a walk with Jesus. Not just any walk, but a full-scale search. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would find what I found. I found a savior, a physician, a friend, a father, a confidant, a protector, and the compassionate, merciful, loving, healing, helping hand of God, and the list goes on. Today, well, I still walk with Jesus every moment of the day. I still talk, pray, and worship God alone or with my church family. A year ago, I became one of the few people to survive such an advanced type of cancer. They couldn’t find it anywhere. They are still looking, and I’m still recovering, but I keep telling them that God just doesn’t do things halfway!
