On May 30, 2008, Nannette Jodar received a diagnosis of Stage 4 Inflammatory Breast Cancer. The disease had spread to her liver and the surrounding lymph nodes, up to her thyroid. In the medical field, this is a "worst of the worse" diagnosis, most likely ending in death. With a broken heart and dwindled hope, Jodar began to pray. Then, two weeks later, the timorous "hot spots" were gone. Miracle or misdiagnosis? Her doctors would say miracle, as would Jodar herself. The medical community was astounded by her progress-so much so that they had no idea how to follow up. Nannette Jodar has since been called a "Miracle Woman," and to this day, she serves as a beacon of hope to other women suffering from similar disease. Being Held by God is the story of her journey, but it is not only a retelling: it is a reckoning. Jodar is healed, and it was through her self-designed process of seeking the counsel of an herbal doctor, changing her diet, prayer, and belief that she was being guided towards her course of a cure. She now serves as an advocate to those who desire to stay healthy or become healthy through proactive love of their body-temples. Our lives are a divine gift, and as soon as we see them as such, the healing can begin.
