  1. Dear Brianna,
    Thank you for sharing such encouraging books that spread hope on topics that are real, real women willing to be vulnerable to share hope, experience, and strength with others. We so often suffer in silence.
    I would most be interested in the words of hope from the title, When your child is hurting. My children and I are currently in a season that’s been filled with hurt, and pain. I see my children hurting from past events. It’s the most helpless time I’ve ever experienced. I want nothing more to fix. To take all the pain away and heal them. But I know, this is only possible through our God. Finding some wisdom from those women that have gone before me would be a true blessing…

    • Praying for you Tabitha and for your children. These books are a beacon of hope to help guide others through their journeys. These books have been a blessing to read. Praying for you!

  2. I would love to win the book When Chronic Illness Changes Everything: From Suffering to Strength for my sister who is undergoing radiation treatment for breast cancer. She has already tried chemo but had to stop because it was harming her transplanted kidney, and had a mastectomy in early March, which ended her up in the hospital intermittently for 45 out of the next 60 days. Now the radiation is burning her skin and causing open sores, fortunately she only has 5 more sessions. Anyway, she is so ready to give up.

  3. I would love to win the book When Chronic Illness Changes Everything. I have been waiting 2 years for two hip replacements and am becoming more immobile with each month that passes. I believe I will get my surgery in God’s time.

  4. I’ve been living with several chronic illnesses for years and as I get older they seem to be getting worse. I’m so scared that I’ll become totally dependent on caregivers in the end and I shouldn’t be scared of it. So many older people do and I’m sure they didn’t want it to be that way. I need God’s peace in whatever comes my way. Please pray for me.

  5. I would love to win the book When Anxiety Won’t Let Go. Praying for you and your son as you start this new chapter.
