Reading their story is much like reading a journal. They've been transparent about their feelings while conveying the important truth that no matter what we face, or how difficult the challenge, we are in fact, held by God. I found their story to be inspirational and very moving. These two ladies have gleaned spiritual insights that can only be found in the fiery furnace of life.

This book really resonated with me...[The authors] have been through so much and yet they lean on God and give Him the praise. This book is one I will recommend to those who are suffering.

Held by God by Lori Phillips and Lynn Willers is a poignant look at the struggles twin sisters faced and the faith that got them through it. The writing is honest and affecting, and readers will be inspired by the sisters' strength and reliance on the Lord.

If your eyes of faith are open, God is visible walking with us in our pain. In the last chapter, the authors say that when we go through terrible struggles, "God provides the strength we need to get through it. This does not mean that the suffering is easy, but it does mean that we are not alone." Throughout the book the authors show that God was with them. That is an encouragement for us to do the same.

...this is a very inspirational story of a family who find comfort, hope, and strength in God in navigating through their life difficulties...Families [and] individuals going through similar difficulties will find inspiration, hope and comfort in reading this book [and] medical personnel can learn a great deal in [the] patient's involvement in diagnosis and management of difficult medical conditions. A highly recommended reading. M. Mariba "the teacher" Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer
This book was such an encouragement. It really shows how the hand of God is in every part of life, the good times and especially the trials and suffering. What a blessing to have the assurance that we are held by God!
