1 comments about Of Course I'm Angry - I'Ve Got Cancer: My Personal Account of How I Learned to Live With Fear and Hope.

1. Having had Cass as a personal friend, the book is a true reflection of how she came to grasp with her initial diagnosis as well the recurrance. The book is an easy read with great information on what do and cope with Melanoma. I've given copies to many of my friends who have been diagnosed with one form of cancer or another, now it's time to order another copy for my own shelf.

5 comments about A Legacy of Hope: Rescued from the Quicksand of Dysfunction.

1. My name is Rebecca, and this is my husbands account. I wanted to take the time to share my review on this wonderful book.
   
   Mary McCracken's, "A Legacy of Hope" is a book you will find difficult to put down once you begin. Mary opens wide the door of her life and invites the reader to experience her journey. Her candid approach in revealing her own personal struggles and how the love of Christ brought her through is like a refreshing rain of healing for whatever challenge you may be facing in your own life.



2. This is an excellent book of encouragement not only for those with a dysfunctional past, but for anyone going through hard times for a season. (Don't we all at one time or another in our lives?) The truth of ll Cor. 1:3-7 is really brought out in this book; rather than mucking about in her own "Slough of Despond," the author uses her own experiences of God's comfort to her in order to comfort others in similar circumstances. Written in a very engaging manner, she draws us in to experience both her joys and sorrows. Her hope for her readers is firmly grounded, knowing that as we share in her sufferings we can also share in the comfort she was blessed with as she learned to put her trust and reliance in God.



3. I have known Ray and Mary McCracken for years. I know Mary sank deep into depression over the loss of her husband. Now Mary writes this book which is such a strong testimony of the Grace of God. How God has lifted her up and now enabled her to write such a wonderful book. I would strongly remend it to anyone to read.



4. I would call this a blockbuster book. It takes the reader through the horrendous downs and delightful ups of Mary's life. I found that I could not put it down once I started it. Her story is a great encourgement to
   women who feel they have nothing to offer. It's full of examples of how the Lord takes someone and fills her life with purpose. You will want to pass this book along to other women, and even girls who are at the threshhold of the adult years.



5. This book gives us a picture of the struggles of a young girl born into a troubled home, and how God uses people and circumstances to make her one of his children. Her insecurities don't simply vanish as she grows older; she must deal with them regularly as she encounters numerous trials. We see a woman choosing to trust and obey God rather than wallow in self-pity. Her thankful spirit and praise of God is evident throughout the book.

1. This true story shows how the human spirit can overcome terrible adversity, and it is a story which should not be missed by anyone. Sandra has overcome tragedy and has transcended into an angel of inspiration for all of us.



2. When Mountains Move is a book you can't lay down. It tells how God can use you if you will allow him to no matter what faces you. It shows He is so faithful to His children.
   This book is hard to lay down once you get started and I'm not a reader.
   It was very uplifting to your spirit. I was very blessed to have bought this book.



3. This book is a real motivator for everyone and especially for people that may have disabilities or think life is "just too hard". This true story shows you what difficulties you can overcome with God's help and with a real desire to live. It also shows how physical endurance and the love of your family and God can help you make the most of a very difficult situation. This book holds your attention from the first chapter to the last. Sandra is a real trooper and disciple for Christ.



4. The author does a great job with this book. You don't want to put it down. What a wonderful testamony to God, faith, hope, and love. Once you read this, you will want to share it with others.



5. Sandra is a creative writer, in her account of her life she has you laughing one minute and crying in sympathy and empathy the next.

2 comments about Sean: The Story of a Child's Life and Death.

1. I recomend this book to anyone that has lost a loved one,it touch my heart and i will never forget Sean,and I hope anyone thinking of buying just do it and read from any page because every page shas something to offer by itself.



2. SEAN touched me in many ways. First, it was scary to pick up the book and begin reading. I'm the mother of an only child who just suffered through a car accident, and I wasn't sure I could read about a child who dies. But instead, once I started this very personal journal and journey through Sean's life and then death, I found out that strength and courage are the attributes of the very special few. And Sean as well as his mother and author, Julie, are two of those rare individuals. Julie's honesty as she faced one of life's most demanding tests is brutal especially when writing about herself and her feelings. This is an important book for anyone who has suffered a loss and hasn't quite figured out how to get through it. Julie, in her directness, shows us that we are only human when we feel ourselves still mourning when everyone else has determined it is time to get over it. This book deals with the agony but also the joys of having loved and having learned to have faith in those things we cannot see or touch.

1 comments about Precious in Her Father's Eyes: Carla Marie 1992-1995.

1. As someone who has fostered a severely brain-damaged child, and who has spent a year working in a classroom for the severely and profoundly handicapped, I appreciated Cindy's candor as well as her viewpoint in writing about this sensitive subject. She consistently emphasizes what many people don't see about caring for these little angels -- that being required to give deeply of ourselves is a blessing. The book is written with tenderness and a mother's love, and also with humor and hope, and is a good read (though it's necessary to keep a box of tissues handy).
