Megan's Story
What if the way to endure suffering is not to run from it, but to find deep healing through it?
"Back in January of 2020, I signed a contract to write a book… but this was not the book God wanted. What He really wanted was a book on hope. It was the hope I was discovering behind closed doors, where only a few people could see me. Where I suffered with one diagnosis after another. Where I prayed and wrestled with my pain, and all the questions it prompted: about God and His goodness; about my identity and purpose. In the process, I have encountered God’s love and healing–and His peace–in a way I never could have expected, even as the suffering continues. This is the book God has asked me to write, because whatever you’re going through, or whatever you’ve gone through, this is the hope and healing He desires for you, too."
