May this book strengthen your trust in God as He walks with you throughand beyondyour experience of cancer.

Carol Peters-Tanksley, M.D., D.Min., OB-Gyn Physician, Ordained Christian Minister, Author of Dr. Carols Guide to Womens Health

When your mission is remission like mine, prayer is the prescription. Read Praying for the Cure through every treatment, every challenge, every tear, and every triumph, and be reminded that Gods love is sufficient to cover any diagnosis.

Pat Williams, Senior Vice President of the Orlando Magic, Author, Speaker, Cancer Survivor

I never asked for the label of Common Trauma Expert; however, God knew from the beginning that He would provide a powerful purpose through my pain. This is why I appreciate Praying for the Cure. If you want to know what God really thinks about this dreaded illness and those struck by its insidious tentacles, you must read Praying for the Curethe truth may surprise you.

Anita Agers Brooks, Inspirational Business/Life Coach, International Speaker, Award-Winning Author of Getting Through What You Cant Get Over and Other Published Titles

Praying for the Cure will restore your trust and faith in Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals. Be encouraged and uplifted as you enter into the loving presence of the Ultimate Comforter. Then may you sayIt is well with my soul.

Sue Johnson, Pray for the Cure Prayer Minister, Hosanna! Lutheran Church and 16-Year Breast Cancer Survivor

As I experienced my own battle with cancer, I knew I wanted and needed to keep God close. I longed to hear His voice, and I wanted to talk to Him in return. But sometimes it was hard to know how to do that. Fear and doubt would enter my thoughts, creating static on my lifeline to God. Praying for the Cure provides the perfect resource for clearing away the noise that keeps us from connecting with the Father.

Kris Bowe, Cancer Survivor, Pray for the Cure Participant, and Prayer Minister

Based on her own life story and her experience ministering to others, Mary has created a beautiful gift for those diagnosed with cancer. She not only guides us on a journey of hope but lifts us above our circumstances through the truths of Scripture and an intimate relationship with God.

Julia Holtze, Adult Ministries Pastor, Hosanna!

Mary Nelson once again has captured the art of bringing Gods promises to life for anyone experiencing cancer or other serious health challenges of any kind. As a three-time cancer survivor (ovarian, kidney, and liver) and Care Pastor of a larger congregation, I cannot say enough about the hope, love, peace, clarity, empowerment and healing the book offers a cancer sufferer, a supportive friend or family member or anyone helping them medically or spiritually. When things in life are out of our control, God Himself can bring a powerful peace, filling us with trust instead of fear. The personalization of His Word and grace successfully turns an unknown future into a journey through every phase of life through His strength.

Pat Moe, Care Ministries Pastor, Hosanna! Church, Lakeville, MN

Pastor Mary Nelson writes out of her personal experience, not untested theory or theology. She has boldly prayed for the cure with thousands of brokenhearted and feeble-bodied people dealing with the daunting realities of cancer. Physical healing or not, her writing and ministry produce the greatest fruit of all: fortified faith and healed souls.

Ryan Alexander, Lead Pastor of Hosanna! Church, Lakeville, MN

Mary Nelson, in her new book Praying for the Cure, provides patients with a biblically-based guide to help them through their journey with cancer. The typical questions patients have such as, Why did I get this disease?, Is God punishing me?, and Where is God in this illness? are all beautifully addressed with prayer and scriptures. Patients start their journey with fear and questions but can finish it with hope and a new understanding of Gods love for them after reading through the book. I would recommend Praying for the Cure for any believer dealing with cancer or any serious illness or circumstance. The book contains good advice for dealing with life.

Theodore Sawchuk M.D., F.A.C.S, Urologic Surgeon, Co-founder Burning Hearts Ministry, Fargo, ND

Mary Nelson wrote her new book straight from Heavenly Fathers Heart. Those who read, declare, and believe the truths in her book will go from misunderstanding and doubt about Gods love and perfect plans to a place of belief, healing, and restoration. Marys book is not only for those struggling with cancer but also for anyone going through a trial!
