Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Praying for the Cure
Mary J. Nelson · 2016
78/100
👍 Worth It
Mary Nelson writes as someone who has actually been through cancer, and that lived credibility makes this more than a generic comfort book — the dialogue structure where God speaks and the reader responds gives it an intimacy that is hard to manufacture. Endorsements from both ministry leaders and a surgeon suggest it's meeting real needs across the faith and medical communities. This is a genuinely compassionate, well-conceived resource for a situation where people are desperately looking for something to hold onto.
