Customer Reviews

God will encourage many people through "MAKING THE ASSIST"

God will use the things that has happened in our lives to help us relate and to minister to others. This book has been used greatly by God to do just that! Thank You, Dr. Pitcher, for sharing your life with us! My father died with cancer several years ago. I would have loved it, if I had this book back then. But even years later, as I read "MAKING THE ASSIST" waves of encouragment filled my soul. Make sure you tell everyone about this book, because they will be blessed just by reading it! Rev.

I wish I would have written it

If I could have put into words what Dr Pitcher has done, I'd have to give up medicine and write full time. I can't wait for the next book!

Divine inspiration

I lost my mother to breast cancer a year ago...I flew back to my home country Armenia to take care of her for 2 months. Metastasis spread to her brain- she was going through incredible suffering and we were experiencing it even more as care givers. I wish I had at that time Dr. Pitchers book. It would definitely helped me during that trial. It is a great book. I highly recommend to read it not only to cancer care givers or patients, but also to general public and professionals as well. It will have its very positive impact to reconsider certain values in life and understand Gods divine plan for each of us to live worthy life. Thank you Dr. Pitcher Karine Galoian, PhD

Do not giving up

It is a useful handbook, not only for cancer patients, but also for immediate family who are looking for answers and trying to cope with the changes brought about in the physical and emotional state of the cancer patient. I believe this book will be useful for any reader, for all the underlying positive messages, about living each day with a sense of purpose and about not giving up.

I know the excellent surgeon

This book is an accurate and inspiring anecdotal summary of this surgeon's actions and attitudes towards his patients. His story will lead the reader to a closer understanding of God's guidance through the chapter in our lives called cancer.
