  Peace In The Storm Meditations On Chronic Pain And Illness

  $18.95

  For nearly 20 years, Peace in the Storm: Meditations on Chronic Pain and Illness has brought encouragement and inspiration to thousands of faithful who live with the serious, ongoing health conditions. In its 110 scripture-based meditations, readers will find examples of how they can find God’s grace in some of the toughest situations with illness, and how Jesus’ support and tenderness are a comfort in the midst of pain. The prayers at the end of each meditation provide expression to the deep yearning, joy, and gratitude that come with journeying through a life of illness and pain with true, abiding faith. Now in a new publishing home, Peace in the Storm… is the only devotional focused on chronic pain and illness that holds the nihil obstat and imprimatur – ecclesial designations signifying that the book is free from any error in Catholic teaching. This version contains exactly the same text as the original version and is the basis for the national ministry of pastoral accompaniment for persons with chronic pain and illness, The Peace in the Storm Project.

  Beyond Pain Revised Edition

  $17.95

  The challenges of pain are very real and they often seriously impact many areas of daily life. Besides the physical and emotional of chronic pain, personal questions of purpose, happiness, and God’s presence in our experience can be difficult to unravel. However, as many have found, the more we intentionally seek to deepen our spirituality and draw closer to God in prayer, action, and faith, the more we discover blessings that not only help us cope better with our physical and emotional pain but become stronger and more resilient in spirit and grace. In reaching for God, we are able to go beyond our pain and experience God’s amazing love and, ultimately find deep, abiding joy. But is this possible when pain is unrelenting? If so, how?

  Drawing from the first edition of Beyond Pain: Job, Jesus, and Joy, this Revised Edition offers the story of Job and the example of Jesus Christ as inspiration for navigating the journey of chronic pain through its many levels toward greater spiritual insight, peace, and joy. New in this Revised Edition are Prayer Prompts that the individual reader can use to focus prayer and meditation, and fresh insights from scripture and personal experiences since the first edition’s publication more than 10 years ago. Also included are discussion questions that can be used in small group settings.

  Beyond Pain: Job, Jesus, and Joy Revised Edition invites the person who suffers to find fresh inspiration in the story of Job, renewed hope in the life of Jesus, and in all things so light-filled and new, abundant and unending joy.
