Full Disclosure: I have not been diagnosed with cancer, but I have had many family members and friends that have been diagnosed with cancer as well as many loved ones that have lost the battle. It is with this lens that I write this review.

I found Praying Through Cancer: A 90-Day Devotional for Women by Susan Sorensen and Laura Geist to be very encouraging. Each devotion is written by a cancer survivor and includes a Scripture, a thought by that particular author, a prayer, a tip for that day, and supplemental Bible verses. Each devotion gave first hand knowledge and experience from that particular author’s point of view on their cancer journey, encouraging the reader they are not alone.

I loved the personal stories of the authors and reading what they have learn through their journey. I appreciated how some of the devotion entries referenced the author’s family and friends and how they perceived and dealt with their loved one’s cancer. The tips at the end of each devotion gave me ideas on how I could bless and be there for those that have cancer. I recommend this book and believe that it would be an encouragement to those that have cancer and their love ones.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book. My review is Goodreads and my blog, Leslie's Library Escape.

From the first devotional, I knew I was holding something very special in my hands. This 90-day devotional for women dealing with cancer (their own or that of a loved one) is written by women who have been in their shoes. It is raw, honest, personal, uplifting, and inspirational.

I absolutely love this book and will return to the wisdom within it time and time again. I recommend it highly to anyone trying to get through a dark and difficult time.

I LOVED this book. It may have a lot to do with my wife being diagnosed with colon cancer and two weeks ago having surgery, now we meet our oncologist next week ... but in that journey God has given us peace and assuredness that He is in control. Still, we are human and emotions come and go and we may have that peace tested. I have already purchased a copy of this book and gifted it to my wife so she can be encouraged during upcoming treatment. Reading this myself, helped me to more closely tune in to some of the thoughts and feelings she has or will experience - but many of them I too had already experienced, so it was like sitting down with a friend, or many friends who have faced cancer in the face and survived. You'll have a few moments to laugh, whether reading about Pink Panther movies, or chemo crotch pantyhose (to go under the wig)... or the encouragement that the Big C (Christ) has already beaten the Little c (cancer), or that when arms are spread during chemo sessions it can be a reminder of what Jesus did for us on the cross. For the women telling their stories in this book, cancer was not a comma but a period in the sentences of their lives and that was because of their faith in Jesus who lives in their hearts. The final word is an encouragement to invite him in for those who haven't - making this book a great gift for any friend who may be facing this battle whether they already are a believer or not. An advance copy of this book was made available through NetGalley with no commitment for a positive review.
