ENDORSEMENTS FOR MORE HOPE! Because I have experienced breast cancer myself I can declare that this is an AMAZING book and resource for women and the Church. I love both the wisdom of God displayed in Scripture...and the powerfully moving experiences of women who have walked through and emerged from the shadows. More Hope! honors women and creates a healing space for them to share their stories, engage with God, and discover a redeemed present--and future--in Jesus, our Savior and Lord. - Darlene Zschech Mum, wife... pastor, and champion of all things worship.... breast cancer victor in Jesus, composer, and author New South Wales, Australia *** More Hope! is oxygen to the soul of those who have had a cancer diagnosis. In both a professional and personal manner, it leads cancer patients on a journey to spiritual heath, to finding a way to thrive in the midst of the ongoing cancer-battle. - Bishop Todd Hunter Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Costa Mesa, California Author: Transformation at Work *** Finding peace--during a frightening and painful process--through interaction with God and people who understand is a powerful form of group prayer that Hunter and fellow authors use to clothe hope. Years of walking with others, including my spiritual daughter who battled ovarian cancer, bring me the assurance that God really speaks peace to us in our days of facing cancer treatment and recovery. These are also days that no one should go through alone. The authors have brought together an excellent blend of spiritual and human resources for hope. - Dr. Jim Wilder Neurotheologian, author, founder of Life Model Works Pasadena, California
