As a veteran of 3 brain surgeries and two full rounds of radiation, Skip Goebel has gone from less than a year to live to tumor free and a bright future. Google his name to see where he is today.
Born in Thousand Oaks, California to a family of lion-tamers and a excessively fearless mother, Skip and his two brothers were raised with the sink-or-swim philosophy. Growing up on a ranch, he learned to shoot and drive just like all his friends and yielding to an obnoxious animal or other scary situation was often rewarded with a butt-blistering. Those experiences proved to be his salvation.
Finally, becoming a Christian in 1992, a direct line with God served as his perfect guide in a dark and stormy night.
But the testimony isn't warm and fuzzy...
Once he became baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, his life became extremely difficult. Previous health symptoms got worse over the next few years and financial and social aspects did no better. By the end of 1993 blackouts and convulsions were commonplace and the insurance-fed doctors didn't have a clue. Finally, a semi-violent confrontation with a neurologist landed him an MRI and virtually the next day he was on the cutting table with his first brain surgery. The diagnosis was an ependymoma tumor attached to the base of the Medulla which meant easy access but impossible to completely remove.
A few years later, as he was dying from a guaranteed lethal dose of radiation, Skip attended a healing crusade. Oddly enough, Skip was passed over by several preachers who were healing those who came forward. Later, when he asked why they ignored him, one preacher told him "We started to, but God told us he had other plans for you."
Thus began his journey….
Skip Goebel is alive and mostly well as of March, 2019.
Many surgeries Later, he is re-releasing the book in Kindle and audible. More importantly, he is awaiting a clinical trial of Focused Ultra-sound treatment which is exactly what the new book by John Grisham is talking about.
God loves those who persevere!
