Stumbling On Open Ground by Ken Mansfield
Let me start out by saying that by reading the words that this author, Ken Mansfield, wrote...that the Lord has increased my faith to believe for my future...for whatever may come my way.
I cannot go on with this review without first sharing of how I have had such a fear of cancer. This is due to my father, grandfather, aunt and uncle all dying of it and also due to one of my younger sisters now currently battling it. My older sister is in the clear of cancer for the time being but there is not a day that goes by that she does not fear it's return. I am “sandwiched” in between the two sisters who are in this battle.
This is not just a book on dealing with cancer but yes it is a book on dealing with cancer. This is a book on walking in the valley of the shadow of death and fearing no evil. A powerfully written testimony of how, despite tremendous pain and suffering, a person can still hold on tightly and rely on the Lord for His strength.
Ken Mansfield may be a man who is in a battle with cancer but to me this is not his identity. His identity is as a child of God, as a man of God...as a truly gifted writer and I am not sure what all else.
I loved that Ken Mansfield has worked directly with the Beatles as I grew up watching them on tv and listening to their music.
I also loved how Ken relates so strongly to music and shares how the Lord speaks to him in this manner for it is also a way that the Lord speaks to me. At some points when things on this order were shared it brought tears to my eyes...from the depth of my spirit.
I loved how Ken's wife, Connie, also shared little tidbits along the way as to her end of things. I have to say...this really made it for me, being a wife myself.
So much love between Ken Mansfield and his wife Connie. So much love between Ken Mansfield and his Lord.
I so loved reading this book that I had it read in three days. I would have had it finished before this if time had allowed for it. Know that I am not a person who normally read this much and this fast so that ought to tell you a little bit about this book.
This book is one of those that you don't want to put down!!!
I am so thankful to the Lord for the testimony shared here by Ken Mansfield and for gifting him the way he has.
It all matters Ken....it all matters!!!
This comes to me now...words from a song I know....
“If I perish...I perish...for I am going...to see my King...”
God be with you readers!!!
I highly recommend this one!!! That's an understatement!!!

Micah by Micah's Mom ~Dani Ramsey~
This is a book written by a mother about her son who ended up with cancer. The family are strong Christians and the way Micah lived his life, including during his battle with cancer, revealed this to the core.
Micah stated that he wasn't afraid but that his parents were freaking out. As a mother and grandmother I can sympathize with this.
God gave Micah the strength to endure. Micah was such a witness for God.
I had a hard time reading this book but at the same time had a hard time putting it down. It is the saddest book I have ever read. Dani Ramsey wrote it from her heart and with much pain. Every time I put the book down for the evening, I felt the pain. I wept. I felt that in my weeping I helped carry the burden of the pain the author bore.
Romans 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
Though there were misspellings in the book it did not take away from the message.
To God be the glory, both now and forever.
This book was written in such a way...that I was put in a state of grieving myself. I know the Lord has and is comforting the family and that they will all be re-united with Micah one day.
