This read is a must! You cannot put it down once you begin and find her both interesting, relatable and very knowledgeable. She explains her journey as as it relates to her, yet somehow you find it matching yours as well...as if she literally understands the shoes you may be in. As a family member of a cancer survivor this was a great book to understand others who have gone through the scary journey and assists in untangling the web one goes on in a spiritual and yet easy to read and understand way.

Loved her book and I quoted her in my book" It's My Fault My Journey Through Breast Cancer. Her view of the journey through her thyroid cancer was very inspiring to me!!!

In Rejoicing Through The Tears, author Brenda George shares her personal journey of surviving Thyroid Cancer. In a thoughtful style, Brenda provides an inspirational testimonial that provides the reader with a wealth of helpful insight and a desire to offer hope, understanding, and encouragement to anyone who is going through any form of cancer. Brenda breaks down her journey into four parts: - Part 1: My Life Before The Diagnosis - Part 2: My Experience With Thyroid Cancer - Part 3: There Is Life After A Cancer Diagnosis - Part 4: Helpful Resource Information For Thyroid Cancer Patients, Families, and Caregivers In each of the four parts of her journey, Brenda provides a sobering but uplifting story of her life before and after the cancer diagnosis, and how through her faith and trust in God, she learned to rejoice through the tears and struggles, became stronger than ever, and learned that there can still be a rewarding life to live after a cancer diagnosis, that it doesn't always have to mean the end. With a mixture of strength, courage, faith, and grace, Brenda provides an encouraging message that you don't have to walk alone on your journey. Take comfort in the knowledge that God walks with you, and will carry you in his loving arms when you most need it. Most of all, Brenda provides nuggets of wisdom from her personal experience, and encourages people to keep a healthy and positive attitude while going through their own journey with a sheer determination to keep fighting no matter what challenges they may face with a renewed hope towards recovery. Throughout Rejoicing Through The Tears, Brenda provides the reader with a wonderful collage of pictures of her family, and inspirational Scripture passages at the end of each chapter to inspire and ignite your faith. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the wonderful description and pictures of her family vacation to Mackinac Island, Michigan. She easily transports the reader to this picturesque island and the stately Grand Hotel, that was featured in the delightful 1979 movie Somewhere In Time with Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour. The most important message that I took away from reading Brenda's inspirational and uplifting journey is the realization of how precious life truly is, how quickly it can pass by, never take another day for granted, and learn to rejoice and embrace your life every day, no matter what challenges may come your way! Disclaimer: I received a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

In her book, Rejoicing through the Tears: Embracing God's Hand in Cancer, Brenda George shares not only the story of her journey through surviving Thyroid cancer but also some practical information that could be very helpful for anyone faced with a cancer diagnosis. We know that God does not heal everyone as He did Brenda but what she shares in this book will give everyone the opportunity to know there is hope and there will be victory if you put your faith and strength in our Lord, Jesus.Though at first glance this cover may look a bit whimsical (take a closer look) the content is anything but. I highly recommend this book to everyone. Everyone knows someone that has been affected by the diagnosis of cancer; if not you then a family member, friend or friend of a friend. Please read this book it can only help.
