What to expect
Do you want to enjoy the life you are living, even as you face significant life challenges?
Are you grieving the loss of the life you planned? Is your body or mind failing you? Can you ever find joy, peace, or fulfillment in these challenging situations? The answer is a resounding YES.
Cristy Maddox searched for answers that were not coming; for a diagnosis to explain her symptoms. For nearly ten years Cristy and her husband Greg began researching and learning about an illness they had never heard of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. An illness affecting over 2 million Americans and 1 in every 100 teenagers!
This invisible intruder not only places Cristy at risk but her children as well. Feeling isolated and misunderstood, Cristy grieves the loss of the life she once knew.
But now, Cristy brings her findings and insights to you in this compelling, honest, and often too-real story, providing answers to the many perplexing questions surrounding chronic illness. She takes you on a journey of learning the purpose of hardship, a better way to view pain and how to allow God to recycle it for good.
Are you ready to discover that your greatest joys in life may be hidden in your deepest heartache?
Critics Review
-
“The author’s prose is taut and emotional…Her problems are real and rendered in detail, and the positive spin she is able to place on them is sincere and encouraging. An earnest, thoughtful reminiscence by a woman who found solace in a renewed relationship with God.”
Kirkus Reviews
-
“Christy’s story is gripping in itself as she shares her struggle with crippling disease, but the best part is the powerful assurance that a good and loving God is in charge of our lives and that he never allows anything to happen to us that won’t ultimately be for our greatest good. Christy finds God in the ordinary and the distressing—and shows us that we can too.”
