Mosaic Moments: Devotionals for the Chronically Ill

He may have the whole world in His hands, but sometimes it feels like He trips, hollering, "Oops!" as we are flung from His hands, and our lives shatter into pieces. We look at the fragments of our former self, relationships, careers and dreams and wonder, "Where did I go wrong? Why did God allow this illness into my life? Will God ever heal me?"

So What Now?

You weren't dropped. Okay, so you may feel like a broken pot, but God is taking you off that discount-shelf-life and transforming you into something noble: a mosaic! In "Mosaic Moments" Lisa Copen, founder of Rest Ministries, and more than 20 contributors will journey with you through putting the pieces back together. If you feel like chronic illness is crushing your spirit or you just want a friend for this unexpected path, you'll find hope and understanding within these devotionals from those who understand chronic illness. They understand the pain of being a broken pot, but they also lead you toward finding the joy in becoming God's precious work of art.

This isn't a book full of fluff, with generalize chronic illness devotionals finished off with a pat answer. Instead, it comes straight from Lisa's journal of ten years of living with chronic illness--rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. You'll read about the ups and downs of diagnosis, illness treatment, unexpected side effects, and surprise blessings. And all of these events carry a ton of emotions with them-- some easy to understand, but others that even the strongest of those in their faith grapple with. Thousands of people love the daily devotionals sent via email from Rest Ministries Chronic Illness Pain Support. Now keep this special book filled with devotionals for your bedside table with over twenty contributors.

Lisa shares. . .

"I wrote this book because I wanted people to have a 'real' and 'raw' expression of what it's like to live with chronic illness, but also know the Lord. Pain is never easy--and this book doesn't say it is--but it's certainly better when one has someone to comfort them in the darkest moments."
