Lynn Eib
BIO:
Lynn Eib is an award-winning newspaper reporter-turned best-selling author, who describes herself as a “passionate encourager, but always a truth-teller.” Her books share true stories of hurting people, who have found hope and peace in spite of their circumstances and she has offered encouragement to hundreds of thousands of folks on an unwanted journey with cancer, serious illness or grief.
Lynn’s first book When God & Cancer Meet has sold more than 110,000 copies in three languages. Her last book, Peace in the Face of Cancer, received the Golden Scroll Award for 2017 Nonfiction Book of the Year. She has six titles with Tyndale House Publishers, including 50 Days of Hope, Finding the Light in Cancer’s Shadow, When God & Grief Meet and the inspirational commentary for the He Cares New Testament with Psalms & Proverbs, for those facing chronic or serious illness.
Lynn loves to encourage discouraged folks with messages of hope and humor at workshops, medical lectures, keynote presentations, and especially her Morning/Afternoon of Hope seminars..
After her colon cancer diagnosis in 1990 at the age of 36, Lynn worked for nearly two decades in a unique position as a patient advocate in her Messianic Jewish oncologist’s office, offering free emotional and spiritual support to patients and their caregivers.
Readers of Lynn’s books feel as if they have their own patient advocate right next to them—sometimes holding their hands and at other times offering a humorous diversion, but always pointing them to a loving God who will see them through. Her website is www.lynneib.com where they can sign-up for her bi-weekly blog, “Wednesday’s Word to the Weary.”
Lynn lives in a Philly suburb with her pastor-husband of 50+ years and nearby are their three daughters and seven grandchildren.
