Stepping into the Ring: Fighting for Hope over Despair in the Battle Against Breast Cancer

by Nicole Johnson

Stepping in the Ring is the 2002 Women of Faith drama sketch by Nicole Johnson, possibly her most powerful piece of writing to date. "Women have always had a unique fellowship of suffering," Nicole says. Where is the woman old or young who will not shed a tear and silently scream in her heart as she walks in these pages through the diagnosis of breast cancer and the devastation that ensues?

While she focuses on the specific soul-chilling crisis, Nicole offers her readers broader insights for dealing with major losses of all kinds. She extends genuine hope and much-needed rays of light to those who are mired in hopelessness and despair. A "must" read for breast cancer patients and their loved ones.

This second book in the Faith/Hope/Love Trilogy by Nicole follows the format of Dropping Your Rockwith the poignant and artistic black and white photos.

A great read when confronted with a breast cancer diagnosis and all that goes along with it. It has a strong and welcoming spiritual sense. A simple and inspiring read. Only 63 pages with such lovely images carefully laid out. This sweet book could even be a gift for a friend who is in her journey.
