Item Description...
Overview
Offers advice to those coping with illness or a disability, providing spiritual and practical suggestions for coping with such aspects of illness as physical pain, regrets, bitterness, and loneliness.
Publishers Description
Marva Dawn has an insider's view of the many spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social, and physical difficulties encountered by people with chronic illness and disabilities. She knows from experience how to nurture hope in spite of infirmity. Filled with insight and practical help, each chapter of Being Well When We're Ill focuses on one particular kind of struggle, such as worry, guilt, the loss of meaning, or the loss of confidence and trust that God is present and personally loving. Each chapter details one or more appropriate ''finds'' - spiritual resources, emotional supports, intellectual answers, or practical solutions - that enable a person with infirmities to persevere through them and to be well in spite of them. For each issue she explores, such as loss of dreams, loneliness, physical pain, depression, ingratitude, side effects and more, Dawn includes discussions of biblical texts - not only texts that help lament losses but texts that bring wholeness. Readers will find themselves companioned in their sufferings and encouraged with new ways to surmount them. |

 | An outstanding work from the heart Apr 29, 2010 |
I had the wonderful opportunity to hear Marva Dawn speak two years ago and was inspired to purchase her book and began to follow her lifestyle. I have suffered from extreme myopia all my life and felt that somehow it was my fault. I was embarrassed that I could not see or do what other people could do. As I watched Marva give her presentation I was so inspired. Her physical limitations with slight, hearing, and mobility, did not prevent her from communicating a tremendous message to me and the other persons present.
After reading her book I'm convinced that it is a must-read for anyone who suffers with limitations and disabilities or works with individuals whose lives have been affected by these limitations.
I was inspired!
My life was transformed!
Thank you Marva. | | |  | living faithfully with a disability Oct 23, 2009 |
| This book helps us live in the here and now with faith and one or more disabilities. The book is both practical and inspiring. as a Christian with disabilities she realistically explores the impact of disability and chronic illnesses on the life of faith and encourages to take the difficulties of life to our always loving God. A must read for those the church denies access to God because of their disabilities or illness. | | | | Many Thanks Mar 20, 2009 |
| This is the book I have been waiting for. Many thanks to you Marva. I cannot even find the words to express what is in my heart. This book has changed my life forever. Kathy Bend OR | | | | NBrown Aug 16, 2008 |
| I feel as if I have a new friend in Marva Dawn. I have been struggling with chronic pain and illness for seven years. This is extremely challenging to me in so many ways including my faith life. This book brought me renewed faith and hope as I read the author's story and how she has lived out her own challenges. She brings truth to the lies we sometimes believe about ourselves and concrete ideas for spiritual "practices" (I like that term also) for individuals to consider. Her theological discussions about topics such as retribution helped me to find clarity in my own views. Her use of scripture and prayers throughout helped to make reading a devotional experience. I highly recommend this book. Thank you Marva. | | | Write your own review about Being Well When We're Ill: Wholeness and Hope in Spite of Infirmity (Living Well)
