Tim Herron at age 35 was enjoying life as a pastor of a growing church, father of 5 children and successfully meeting the challenges of daily living when he received the most devastating diagnosis of brain cancer, grade IV. Given only months to live Tim was determined not to quit. On these pages a real life drama of wondrous recovery from brain cancer unfolds. Tim gives compelling reasons never to abandon God no matter how dire the circumstances. For those fearing God no longer does miracles; Tim's journey through his treatments will put those fears to rest. Tim challenges you to delve into disappointments in your relationship with God. Disappointments imposed by God's seemingly disinterest in your deepest troubles. Tim offers credible answers in discovering life with God is deeper than all life's tribulations. A life and genuine hope founded on God's character, love and the veracity of His word. Tim Herron is President and Founder of Beyond Reason Ministries, and is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary. He and his wife, Kathy, live in Sugar Land, Texas and are the parents of five children. He has served in the ministry for over 36 years as Bible study leader, pastor, counselor, professor and chaplain.

What is happening to me? Why am I constantly terrified? Why are these strange and scary feelings plaguing me and robbing me of lifes joys? Why wont they go away? What is wrong? Why Lord? Why wont you rescue me? Jeanne Svobodny asked these questions during a very difficult time in her life. Jeanne had experienced what she describes as an idyllic life as a Christian wife, mother, daughter, teacher, and athlete until she unexpectedly experienced overwhelming fear. The physical sensations she repeatedly felt as a result of horrific fear including rapid heartbeats, nausea, dizziness, sweating, chills, and loud ringing in her ears were petrifying and shook her confidence to the core. In Its Too Soon to Quit, this determined woman describes her journey coping with an unexpected season in her life which was filled with dreadful panic attacks. By writing her story, Jeanne hopes the lessons she learned will bring hope to others who may be going through a similar season of suffering. Jeanne vulnerably shares her early experiences with extreme anxiety and her later diagnosis of panic disorder. Because of the severity of the attacks, she thought she was going crazy. Functioning through simple, routine daily tasks became extremely challenging for her. After many years of living with excruciating fear while searching for answers, relief finally arrived. Read about the amazing promises of God and His personal whispers which sustained Jeanne during this season of her life. Take heart and Run with perseverance, the race that is set before you (Hebrews 12:1-3) and Let the peace of God guard your hearts and minds (Colossians 3:15).
