Something's Wrong But No One Can See It Laurie Penner

Previously published with the subtitle "Devotions for Hidden Illness." Some believe those who are sick just need more faith. My experience is that it takes a lot of faith to endure chronic illness and pain. We learn more faith through our maladies, especially when no one else can see it, because then we are alone with God. I have endured Lyme Disease and several other kinds of largely unknown, invisible maladies, often wondering where God fit in but knowing He was there. Having gone through a lifetime of unexplained pain, depressing fatigue, and odd symptoms most people have never heard of, I pulled out of the worst symptoms with a stronger faith and a few insights to share. This book contains over fifty inspirational short stories from a believer who has been chronically ill in ways that most others don't see or identify with. During each episode, I found answers, hope, and assurance that God is there, plus scriptures to uplift the soul that is suffering in the midst of ongoing hidden illness.
