While doing some G2 on Amazon for possible book titles for Vicki Schreiner's cancer journy book that I'm publishing, I came across one that made me laugh out loud: Cancer Only Sucks on Days that End in "Y" by Scott Finestone. Too true but also totally off base for Vicki's book, titled, Please Pray: A Testimony to the Power of Prayer. Please Pray is a gritty and gripping view into life as a mother of a kindergartner enduring a second cancer journey in three years. No doubt that there were many days for Vicki and for Ryan that seemed endless with pain, fear and mind numbing fatigue. But as Vicki shares in these 440 pages of CaringBridge journal entiries, she and Ryan experienced miracle after miracle in response to their walk in faith and the prayers of their family, friends, classmates, teachers and pastors. Day after day they felt the tangible presence of Jesus, walking along side them, providing strength, hope and peace...and ultimately healing.
Ryan is now a vibrant cancer-free 3rd grader and is excited to share "his book" with everyone. I would love for you to read it too because I know it will help you grow in strength and faith and hope and peace, just as I did during the two years of editing, design, layout and publishing this wonderful book. I am so proud of Vicki for her willingness to share this very, very personal story with others so that they might be encouraged and grow from her experience. And I am so excited to see how God will use this in ways we can't even imagine.
You can preview the entire book and purchase it from my publishing website, Pressed In Press (the new and improved, i.e. trademarkable, name for Splendor Books). It's also available in the Resurrection Christian School offices, for those of you in the Loveland area.
