ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Hope Amid the Pain
Author: Leslie L. McKee
Publisher: Ambassador International
Release Date: October 26, 2021
Genre: Devotional / Christian / Chronic Illness

Why me? Is God punishing me? Is my faith not strong enough for God to heal me? How can I achieve my dreams? What’s my purpose?

If you’re someone living with a chronic illness or chronic pain, these are just a few of the questions you’ve likely asked on more than one occasion. You may feel overlooked or even resentful. You try to stay positive, but some days it’s hard. It’s natural to feel this way and grieve, but it’s still possible to have a hope-filled life. God has a purpose for the pain.

Christians aren’t immune from pain and illness, but we don’t have to go through it alone. Jesus promised that He would “never leave you nor forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV).

Millions of women suffering from chronic pain and illness want the reassurance they’re not alone. The devotions in HOPE Amid the Pain are written by a chronic pain warrior with over twenty-five years’ experience and will point the reader to hope and encouragement. It’s possible to Hang On to Positive Expectations (HOPE) even amid the pain.

Spurgeon Journal (Review)

February 24, 2018 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

I write everything down (often, I write it down multiple times). From grocery and to-do lists to sermon and devotional notes, I always carry a notebook of some kind with me to keep track of what’s going on in my life.

Naturally, when I was offered the chance to review the Spurgeon Journal from Broadman and Holman, I was more than happy to agree.
