Customer Reviews

Very pertinent in tough times

A friend gave me this book when I was going through breast cancer. It was very comforting, and put things in perspective. I have since met the Author and she is an amazing woman! Suitable for men and women; appropriate scripture throughout.

This book changed my life!

This book was a gift to me and not having cancer, I wasn't going to read it, but I felt drawn to it and began an eye opening journey. This book taught me a lot about forgiveness and how to pray and the impact we can have on others lives. About halfway through this book, my sister-in-law was shockingly diagnosed with stage 4 matastic melanoma. I am so blessed by having read this book and it has given me the gift of feeling grounded in knowing how to pray and support others during this time.

A blessing to every Christian

This is a remarkable book. The author clearly spends a lot of time praying that God will use this work in the lives of those who read it. It was like a wonderful sermon -- the Holy Spirit uses it to touch each person in a way that's meaningful to them. There were several parts where I felt compelled to stop and pray, thanking the Lord for revealing a clear truth/action in my life. I loved Lois' warm, friendly writing style, too. It was as though we were sitting at her kitchen table, chatting. My daughters loved her novels for kids, so I'm glad that as a grown-up I got to enjoy some writing that was directed to me! While the theme is how God heals physically, this title will impact anyone who needs emotional or spiritual healing, as well. I'm sending copies to friends and relatives, and I know it will bless them, too.

A Book to Help When You are Hurting--a "Must Read"

EITHER WAY, I WIN is full of high interest and meaningful sharing by the author when she was taking chemotherapy. She updated the book with this new version and it includes other people's experiences and what they learned to keep themselves going. Johnson's chapters are full of spiritual transparency and wisdom. She is a master of scriptural insights and gives fresh helps in learning to pray. She selects scriptures that are right to the heart and the right time. She uses memorable analogies.This book makes a good gift for those who appreciate Christian viewpoint in a relevant way. Especially helpful to those who are fighting breast cancer. Weakest part is the book's cover.Book is a must for those who are hurting or chronically ill or lonely or even seriously ill. I recommend it for churches to use in study groups or for lay people who minister to others. Good leaders guide and questions in the back.
