perfect gift for cancer patient

I've purchased this several times as a gift for friends diagnosed with cancer or ones dealing with dying parents. All have remarked how it captures what they are feeling and helps them cope. The prayers and readings speak with compassion the words we struggle to find. The perfect gift at difficult times.

With Healing Wings is Very Useful

With Healing Wings is pleasing to the eye with a beautiful cover and images of doves flying throughout the pages of the book. It is only 80 pages long. Each page of the book contains a prayer from one of three categories: Prayers for Healing, Prayers for Thanksgiving (for those people and things which assist during illness), and Prayers of Caregivers. The prayers are written in reverent yet simple everyday language. Every prayer is followed by related passages of scripture. The prayers in this book are heartfelt and helpful. I recommend the book to be given as a gift to those who are hospitalized, those who are bedridden, those in chronic pain, and those who love and care for the sick and elderly. I also highly recommend the book for our own use. We can pray these meaningful prayers when we are ill, when we visit those who are, when we aren't able to visit the sick, when we are trying to encourage caregivers, etc. We can even pray them over the phone with others or write phrases into letters and notes to others--giving the author credit, of course. It isn't always easy to find the right words to convey our feelings when we are in difficult situations. I know God hears our groaning and the Holy Spirit interprets for us, and that is all that we need when we are praying privately. It is not terribly effective when we are trying to pray for others aloud when they are with us. This book can make those more public prayers easier, and the book is small enough and light enough to fit into most women's purses. The book is extremely useful. Perhaps With Healing Wings can help you and those you love improve your communication with God during those times of health crises. I find it very valuable.

The Answer to Your Prayers

If you are like me, in times of crisis, it is often difficult to formulate the right words with which to approach God for help. Often, we are not ourselves sure of what is the desired outcome or how to articulate our needs, wants and desires to the Almighty. This is particularly true when the crisis involves our own or a loved one's health crisis. These eloquent prayers by Marsha Maurer will help you beseech God for guidance and acceptance whether it is the strength to endure medical tests or the courage to face a terminal illness. There are also prayers of thanksgiving, the most overlooked of all prayers, and prayers for those giving comfort and care to the ill. Appropriate scriptures supplement each prayer providing additional succor and guidance. You may initially buy this for yourself but it is the perfect gift and more enduring than flowers for anyone who faces an illness or is caring for the ill whether they are a family member or health care professional.
