A sensitive telling of Eric's own story combined with comprehensive advice for sufferers.

Eric Gaudion has known ill-health for many years. Acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis has almost killed him, and his life is a daily struggle with pain.

Once the pastor in a thriving church, he saw the ministry he dreamed of slip away. During all his trials, he has learned a number of important lessons he shares here - things that hinder and things that help those suffering; biblical lessons; and he has wise and compassionate advice to the church on those who are sick ... and not healed. This is a must-read for the sufferer and for those care for the sick.

'Eric tells the truth about pain. There's no gloss, fluff, hyper-spirituality or clich?s. The absence of them all makes me grateful, for slogans sting like salt on an already deep wound when you're suffering ... Here is warm hope, honest empathy, faith that is gritty and authentic.'
