Mary J. Nelson writes to women like herself who are traveling through the breast cancer journey. This book will be a companion for those women beginning with the diagnosis, then through treatment, and then looking at life as a cancer survivor. The short devotional readings encourage, support, and comfort as they point the woman toward God, helping her grow, not just cope, during this difficult experience. The ideal gift for the woman who has--or has overcome--breast cancer.
Mary J. Nelson is an author, speaker, and Associate Pastor of Prayer and Freedom Ministries and Hosanna! Lutheran Church, a church of over 6000 members in Lakeville, MN. She has a passion for helping people encounter God and His goodness in the midst of trials and be empowered and set free to live out their destiny. She emerged from a breast cancer diagnosis in 1999 eager to share how God restored and transformed her life. Her deepest desire is to give away what she has freely received.
