"Everyone must read this book. Marion has written it with complete vulnerability, transparency and honesty concerning her doubts, fears and disappointments…with complete confidence in the God who is there to heal, and with so much room for hope at every stage of the journey. "
- Roger Bosch, Pastor, Lake Avenue Church, Pasadena, California
"This book is practical, yet full of faith. It’s logical, yet provocative. What an example of living the Christian life—on the edge, against all odds and often in the dark. It is a reminder of the truths and miracles of God, for man, with man and through man."
- Karen Covell, Producer and Founding Director, Hollywood Prayer Network, Los Angeles, California
"Marion M. Pyle offers here every aspect of help when facing a critical threat. You will find honesty, wisdom, and a variety of resources that can become your allies. You will find the ability to discover God...in the mystery of prayer and trust. Not simply a story...nor simply a "how to" book...this work offers a great combination of both inspiration and practical advice."
- Brad Bailey, Senior Pastor, Vineyard Christian Fellowship Westside, Los Angeles, California
"I gave this 5 stars, I would have given 10 if I could because this book is a manual on how to navigate a traumatic illness with hope and encouragement. It's also the account of sheer grit and a spirit of determination for a positive outcome, which compelled Marion and her husband to keep going when the going wasn't so smooth. This is their journey, with setbacks and disappointments, but it's a real story that will benefit you or a loved one in a similar situation. It's so good you'll read it one sitting."
- Carolyne MacKenzie
"This was an easy read and truly inspiring. The author is straightforward and gives you tools and strategies, both spiritual and physical, to confront cancer. I was particularly interested to hear about the new integrative therapies having watched a dear friend suffer so through undergoing chemo. Cancer is everywhere today. It was encouraging to hear about someone who has survived intact and is cancer free. The fact that he was not a candidate for chemo and that they were forced to think outside the box helps others to do the same."
- Mary Garrison
"As a writer, Marion simplifies very complex, complicated biographical/medical info -- the toughest thing to do! -- in a way that readers won't even notice -- they'll just enjoy the flow of the read. Loved the story-telling framework of it, especially the inspired way very early on (Russell's proposal to her on the beach), she rivet us with the sudden, "you-are-there" realization of the stature & exceptional character of this guy, and therefore, how high the stakes are. Wahoo, Marioni! Write more books!"
- Karen Klein
"Healed Healthy and Whole is a bold, compassionate, awe inspiring and heart pounding book. A testing of the human spirit, keeping you on the edge of your seat. Also, a faith filled journey against all odds; brilliantly written, executed and extremely informative, a recommend as a must read for all audiences of all ages."
- Michael Walusko
"What a great book. It was inspirational and insightful and a very enjoyable read. The book is full of practical information about nutrition and alternative treatments. The book is also a guide to the spiritual and relational aspects of healing. I would recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with cancer or any other serious illness."
- Gerald Clark
"What a faith journey! So beautifully expressed. Bravo! So much to learn."
- Ruth Thompson
"I read the entire book in one sitting because I could not put it down. This book is inspiring as well as practical with lots of information on resources and strategies you may not have heard of. I highly recommend this book to everyone because of its rich content. "
- Cheryllyn Johnson

"Wonderful! This book opens an intimate look into the lives of two people who obviously love each other very much, and face a very scary cancer prognosis. It’s in story form – you ride the cancer roller coaster along with the Pyles, and you won’t want to put it down! It’s also filled with lots of practical advice on topics such as traditional and alternative therapies, dealing with all the unknowns, and the importance of community and faith."
- A. B. Corvo
"Marion Pyle is my kind of woman. She acquires all the info and then becomes aggressive about possessing her benefits of salvation--healing. God bless her as she shares about the goodness of God. Salvation and healing come together. Jesus' stripes and crucifixion has provided an abundant life for us"
- Jan R Edwards
"Excellent book! It is written like a devotional. I have given it twice to people whose spouses were going through cancer. It has excellent advice for someone going through cancer. Very well written. I will be giving it as gifts in the future I am sure."
- jan Workman
"Told me exactly where in the States you could get what you used to have to go out of the country to get treatment-wise."
- Saundra
"A very good read. Inspiration for the body and definitely for the soul."

“Healed, Healthy and Whole” is a small book. But rarely does one come across a small book that packs this punch or reads this big. While it’s obviously the chronicle of one brave man and his fiercely devoted wife, as they navigate the terrors and pitfalls of a life-threatening health condition, it reads like much, much more. It’s an adventure tale. It’s a mystery. It’s a horror story. It’s a triumphant tale of human perseverance. It’s an overwhelming, uplifting Christian testimony. And it’s a deep and abiding romance. How is it that one small book can contain all of this?
