Susan Sorensen (Author), Laura Geist (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 4, 2006

Cancer can't be explained away. No amount of Christian cliches will decrease its power. Enter Praying Through Cancer, a daily devotional written specifically for cancer patients by cancer patients with insight, wisdom, and clarity found only through personal trial. Even with cancer, an uncertain future, and a complete lack of control it is possible to experience the grace and provision of Christ's love. The focus of each daily devotional is prayer - personal encounters with God - where fears and anger are transformed into confident expectation and pure worship. Readers will feel as though they are meeting kindred spirits, old friends who will come alongside them in their journey, encouraging them and understanding what no one else can. Contributors include Kay Warren, Pat Palau, Barbara Johnson, Joyce Wright, and many more.

This review is from: Praying Through Cancer: Set Your Heart Free from Fear: A 90-Day Devotional for Women (Hardcover)

I am a 37 year old that has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. A good friend of mine found this book and gave it to me. I can't begin to tell you how comforted I feel while reading through these pages. God is speaking to me through these words and whispering that He is right here with me on this journey. I still have my moments when I feel scared, but when they hit, I reach for "Praying Though Cancer" and in moments I feel His presence and all of the comforting words of women who have been through this before me. God Bless you for such a beautiful book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A comforting book through hard times, November 3, 2008

This review is from: Praying Through Cancer: Set Your Heart Free from Fear: A 90-Day Devotional for Women (Paperback)

I highly recommend this book for any woman going through a cancer diagnosis. Each daily devotional, written from a solid christian perspective by women who have undergone treatment for cancer, starts with a daily entry about living with a cancer diagnosis, a prayer, a daily tip and scriptural references.

This book has been an anchor and comfort for me during my treatments of two cancer diagnosis'. It is my "desert island" cancer book.

Cancer is an insidious disease, But God is greater than that.

Get this book! It will ease your suffering greatly and keep you in the word of God where there is healing.
