Health, Healing, and Wholeness: Devotions of Hope in the Midst of Illness
|
Christian Devotional
Through her work as an intensive care nurse, Tracy Crump witnessed lifesaving miracles when everyone involved had given up—everyone except God. She cared for patients, family, and friends experiencing major health crises and offered encouragement no matter the situation, knowing we don't always experience healing in this life. Crafted with unique examples of God's miraculous power and saving grace, Health, Healing, and Wholeness: Devotions of Hope in the Midst of Illness blends Scripture-rich meditations with biblical principles that highlight God's mercy in times of medical need. Moving stories of a mother's sacrifice, children overcoming catastrophic accidents, the beauty of a life well lived, and joy despite traumatic brain injury instill hope. Cecil Murphey, bestselling author of 90 Minutes in Heaven, said, “Most devotional books come across as sweet but empty of content. By contrast, ICU nurse Tracy Crump interacted with patients in their most critical moments. Not only did she minister to them, but they, in turn, enriched her life. With compassion, she shares those powerful experiences with readers.” Whether you are experiencing a medical crisis, walking alongside someone who is, or caring for a loved one, these thirty devotions will bring comfort and peace.
