Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Thompson became a breast cancer statistic after a routine mammogram revealed a suspicious spot; doctors confirmed it was cancer. This author, founder of Woman to Woman Mentoring Ministry at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, experienced the emotional highs and lows, pain and fatigue, and spiritual crisis and victory that come with breast cancer. She shares her story, plus much more, in a book she envisions as "a safe place to document an epic time in your life." Much of her experience is recorded in letters to God, but she also includes the words of others. "Mentoring Moment" sections offer help and advice about the gritty aspects of breast cancer. Most touching is paraphrased Scripture offered as "God's Love Letter to You." Thompson provides both space and encouragement to journal, and her appendices provide valuable resources such as Web sites and recommended reading, as well as space for recording questions, doctor's appointments, medications, contact information and many other details often lost in the trauma and emotion. Thompson's book is a must for any Christian woman facing breast cancer. It's honest, beautiful and cathartic. (Sept. 26)

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for any one searching for reasons to hope, January 5, 2007
By Truth Pursuer (Lake Forest, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Janet Thompson bravely soldiered through this deeply personal experience and now openly shares her journey with others who need to know what to expect and how to get through a season of life they neither invited nor wanted. This book offers practical advice, encouragement, and hope for anyone with a life-threatening illness.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect gift!, October 31, 2006
I recently got my first book and couldn't put it down....I prompltly gave it to my neighbor that has cancer and quickly ordered several more so I would have them on hand to pass on. This book is for anyone going through the pain and disappointment of any kind of cancer....finally a help for anyone to know they are not alone. It is very thorough and well put together. I highly recommend it for healing and better health!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT for any patient or survivor!, October 23, 2006
This is the book I wished for when I went through breast cancer treatment four years ago. It's a guide for the physical and, more important, spiritual aspects of breast cancer.
