Millions of Americans experience pain every day of their lives, their conditions unalleviated by the myriad medications and treatments available today. Maureen Pratt, who has had lupus for more than a decade, is intimately aware of the toll chronic pain takes on patients and their families.

In this practical and spiritual guide, she shares how she navigates through the frustrations, fears, and complexities of living with chronic pain and illness.

Using a combination of Bible passages, her own observations and insights, and prayer, Pratt provides help on issues that include dealing with isolation, coping with medical expenses, and learning to say no. Written with unstinting honesty and humor, Peace in the Storm will help readers identify their own spiritual and physical needs.

Spiritually Uplifting

I am a 27-year-old woman with Lupus, Fibromyalgia, and Osteoarthritis in both knees and in my spine. It is a gross understatement to say that it's a hard thing to deal with. This book has helped me to see my health problems in a different way. Instead of seeing them as a burden to me, and seeing myself as a burden to others, I now see my afflictions as blessings. I don't feel helpless anymore. I feel like I can deal with my illnesses gracefully. I cannot even begin to tell you how much peace this book has brought to my life! Anytime I'm feeling sorry for myself or I am in a great deal of pain, I open this book and read another chapter or two. Instantly, I feel more at peace in my body. It doesn't physically make the pain go away, but somehow I feel God's hand touching me, comforting me, and reassuring me that He is always with me. I love the scripture excerpts at the beginning of each chapter, and the original prayers at the end. If you have a chronic illness and you are having a difficult time coping with it, you MUST have this book! It will definitely bring peace amidst your storm...

Just what I needed.....

I love this book. Living in chronic pain, undiagnosed, takes all the life out of you. This book has a reading for almost any emotion or thought you feel when in pain. The readings are short and easy to follow, especially when you are on medication. Each time I read it I feel more at ease. I would recommend this book highly!

Excellent book, very easy to read and is spiritually oriented

I liked it so much had to buy copies for my fellow chronic illness sufferers.
