11/04/2004 description: God’s Word is the focal point of each devotional. Both the Bible verses and the anecdotes relate to issues those with serious illness deal with daily. These issues include pain, weakness, identity, loss of independence, loneliness, and facing death. Each devotional illustrates how God uses scripture to encourage us in the midst of pain. The God of All Comfort is based on the author’s experience living with chronic illness as well as that of seventeen other people who share their stories within the pages of this book. Illnesses include a variety of autoimmune-system disorders, cancer, and Lou Gehrig’s disease, as well as several other chronic and serious illnesses. The book strives to help readers recognize themselves in their struggles and feel less alone in their pain. sample Devotions: By God’s Design Strength for the Journey Furnace of Affliction Rest for the Weary related products: Hope and Help for the Widow—Dr. Jan Sheble 101 Stories of Answered Prayer— Jeannie St. John Taylor Prayers for Troubled Times—Jeannie St. John Taylor
“Judy Gann’s prayerful reflections on a life stamped with chronic pain, makes a companion for all of us, pain or no pain. Nothing purges Christian witness of cliché and platitude more effectively than suffering.” —Eugene Peterson, Author of The Message |
