THE NEW YORK CITY BIG BOOK AWARD® RECOGNIZES “90 DAYS TO LIVE”

Oklahoma City, OK — The NEW YORK CITY BIG BOOK AWARD recognized “90 Days to Live” by Rodney & Paige Stamps as Winner of Best Motivational Book!

The competition is judged by experts from different aspects of the book industry, including publishers, writers, editors, book cover designers and professional copywriters. Selected award Winners and Distinguished Favorites are based on overall excellence.

When Oklahoma City-area businessman Rodney Stamps heard, “You have 90 days to live” from several doctors, he and his wife—and business partner—were totally blindsided. But their shock and devastation soon turned to grim resolve.

Refusing to follow his MD’s pleas to start chemotherapy—which only promised to briefly extend his life—the Stamps started exploring countless cancer treatments. While most were ineffective or downright “scammy,” their search also led them to a treatment with, reportedly, a 97% success rate (including with “death-sentence”-type cancers like pancreatic).

The Stamps chronicle their story in the new release, “90 Days to Live: Beating Cancer When Modern Medicine Offers No Hope.” The book details the good the bad and the hilarious of Rodney and Paige’s entire journey to kick cancer to the curb.
