Recouping from Surgery Makes for Lots of Reading Time

Recouping from surgery, especially when recovery is a pain-free, buys lots of reading time. May I strongly recommend the following great reads:
​

• Choosing to See by Mary Beth Chapman (marybethchapman.com)
• A Place of Healing by Joni Eareckson Tada (www.joniandfriends.org)
• Life Without Limits by Nick Vujicic (www.lifewithoutlimbs.com)
• Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Halland Denver Moore
  (samekindofdifferentasme.com)

All four books deal with more than one can stand pain – all four resonate with my testimony in His Majesty in Brokenness: Jesus, the Man of sorrows, acquainted with grief, DOES meet us in our pain and when we admit we are hurting, walls of isolation fall down, community is born and the ripple effect of healing brings relief to the Body and glory to His name.

• Mary Beth addresses the Steven Curtis Chapman family’s never-ending grief associated with the sudden death of 5 year old daughter Maria.
• Joni tackles the past few years filled with excruciating pain. (But how can a paralyzed body hurt?)
• And Nick, oh Nick, (the 27 year old with no arms and no legs) is literally changing the world through his motivational messages grounded in God’s plan for good with a future and a hope.
• Ron Hall (millionaire art dealer) and Denver Moore(an enraged homeless drifter), share an amazing prince and pauper tale of redemption that only God could concoct.

Each author has a website, even blogs, and each is brutally honest with no candy-coating of how bad life can hurt. HOWEVER, their books along with mine provide convincing evidence that we dare not quit before the happy ending, the beginnings of which will bless our socks off this side of heaven.

I’m not wishing surgery on you but I am recommending you add these books to your Christmas list (If you can wait that long!).

Also, it’s exciting to watch the readers of His Majesty stocking up with 5, 10, 15 more copies for Christmas gifts. I am happy to personalize and gift wrap your books as you designate your wishes on the Paypal memo. www.judysquier.com
