Description

Whether you are the caregiver or the patient, the what-if’s of the waiting room can feel terrifying, and the wait can feel agonizing. Cancer, tumor, stroke, traumatic injury, or major surgery—a health crisis of any kind involves waiting. This waiting arouses many emotions: fear, uncertainty, sorrow, agony, and anger among them. In this devotional for caregivers and patients, Elizabeth Reynolds Turnage reminds us of the certain hope and surpassing peace of the gospel: God has worked miraculous deeds and redemptive wonders in the past, and Jesus will “soon” come again to end our wait, and to bring full and final healing. These sixty meditations for peace and hope will encourage you as you wait. “This brilliant book is a tender gift of the presence of God for those caught in the deep woods of medical uncertainty. Elizabeth Turnage offers a wisdom that has been hard won, meets the test of the gospel, and is beautifully and brilliantly written. Dan B. Allender PhD Professor of Counseling Psychology and Founding President The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology “Elizabeth meets us in the waiting room as an empathetic friend reminding us what is true in His Word and urging us to listen to the refreshing lyrics of the gospel.” Karen Hodge Coordinator of Women’s Ministries Presbyterian Church in America (PCA)
