Practical Faith for the Sick & Tired: Spiritual encouragement and lessons from my journey with chronic illness

"Pain is exhausting! Whichever way you slice and dice it, it’s just plain exhausting! It doesn’t matter what kind of pain it is, physical, emotional, or otherwise. Chronic pain is pain that will not go away, to put it simply. You’ve tried all sorts of remedies, but it will not budge and now you must live with it. It’s the constant companion that you never chose and would give practically anything to not have to live with. What’s more you are a Christian and you believe in a loving healing God who says things like, Run to God, run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life! (Proverbs 3:7-8 MSG), but so far, your miracle is yet to materialise. You are ill, sick, and tired! What now? Satan seeks to bring your life as you know it to a grinding halt, but God has other plans for you. Three questions that you must now ask yourself, Who are you? Whose are you? and Who are you going to listen to? God, whom Himself is Life, still fully expects you to participate in this divine dance with Him that is life. This book is about how God has taught me to walk again, trust, and have faith again, believe that God is who He says He is and that He’s still all powerful, even if I’m still waiting for my deliverance or even if it never comes. I hope this book helps you get up, start shuffling along, and running eventually, all in the Spirit of course, because I never did do much running, even when my bones were vibrating with life!"
