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 Pastor of Prayer. 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.

She founded and leads the Pray for the Cure cancer healing ministry at Hosanna! Church in Lakeville, MN where she also serves as a leader in the Healing Prayer and Sozo inner healing ministry. She and her husband, Howie, have two adult children and two grandchildren, and make their home in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. They enjoy spending time with family, traveling, motorcycling, reading, and serving together as prayer leaders in their local church.
This was a wonderful book to have during my breast cancer journey. I turned to it in times of sadness and weakness and it always helped restore my faith and attitude. I would recommend this book to anyone that is battling breast cancer and needs the reminder that God is always with us.
Very encouraging and gently leads the reader to embrace the Father, Son and Holy Spirit while going through the turbulence of breast cancer. I appreciated the author's own experiences of raw emotions that at times, mirrored exactly what I have felt. I highly recommend this book as THE book you give that friend or family member struggling or otherwise before, during or after a diagnosis.
