Peace in the Storm for Caregivers
Each day and night, millions of adult caregivers journey tirelessly with their loved ones, neighbors, and even strangers who need someone to help them navigate very tough health and life challenges. These acts of love are blessings to those who are vulnerable, however they can also bring tremendous stresses and, especially, crises of faith to caregivers. Peace in the Storm for Caregivers is a faith-affirming, life-supporting devotional written from experience and sound, compassionate spiritual and theological perspective. Within these pages, the stressed and questioning caregiver will find encouragement in scripture, openings for spiritual growth in prayer and assurance of God's abiding love, joy, and peace, in and through it all!

What happens to our faith when pain becomes chronic and, perhaps, worsens? Do we draw nearer to God? Or, do we drift away? Do we feel more encouraged by grace? Or, do we wonder if there's a purpose, a point in the pain?
Beyond Pain: Job, Jesus, and Joy Revised Edition encourages people living with chronic pain to find inspiration and strength in the story of Job and the life of Jesus. With new Prayer Prompts and added content in light of the recent pandemic, the book offers a way to find blessings all along the challenging journey of pain, to lift eyes and heart from the confines of suffering to the joy that awaits each of us in God's mercy and love. Also included are discussion questions for use by individuals or group fellowship.
