All of the books I’ve listed here were found at either my local Borders Book Store or at local Religious and Christian gift and book shops. I included as much information as possible about each book so your local bookshop is able to order it for you if they don’t have it in stock. I also included a few words from the inside jacket cover or back cover of the book to let you know a bit about the content. Price listed is what I paid, however please note, price may vary depending on the store.

I did so much reading on faith, prayer and healing during Corey’s illness. At times when Doctor’s offered us little hope, I would find something positive and hopeful in these books. I read most of them at the time my son was sickest, however some books I came upon after Corey’s cancer had gone into remission. I found a lot of the information just confirmed the feeling I had in my heart that Corey had been healed not only by the chemotherapy, but also from all of my prayers, and the prayers of others. I’m hoping that they offer you hope and encourage you to continue praying no matter how dark things may seem at this time.
