I'm Still Standing

"I'm Still Standing" is a compilation of essays that grew out of the author's journal entries as she battled breast cancer, endeavoring to follow Paul's advice to the Ephesians, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand." (Ephesians 6:10-13) Barbara's prayer is that her experiences will be an encouragement to others, whether their battles are physical, emotional or spiritual.
