This book is written by Rest Ministries Writer's Coordinator, Judy Gann! We celebrate with her its publication!

“Judy, which Bible verses comfort and encourage you when you are battling poor health?” asked Teri. “I’d like to share them with a friend who is ill.” Teri’s question stayed in Judy’s mind long after she gave verses to her. Years later Teri’s request led to the writing of God of All Comfort: Devotions of Comfort, Strength & Hope for Those Who Chronically Suffer.

A devotional book, God of All Comfort explores God’s Word in order to find the comfort, strength, and hope to cope with the pain, limitations, and other challenges of living with illness. Both the scripture passages and anecdotes relate to issues those with chronic and serious illness deal with daily.

God of All Comfort is based on the author’s experience living with chronic illness as well as that of seventeen other people who share their hearts and stories within the pages of this book.

REVIEWS
“Judy Gann’s prayerful reflections on a life stamped with chronic pain, makes a companion of all of us, pain or no pain. Nothing purges Christian witness of cliché and platitude more effectively than suffering. These sentences are pure “silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times” (Psalm 12:6).”
—Eugene Peterson, author The Message

“As both a physician and one who battles chronic illness, I highly recommend Judy Gann’s book… In more than 50 short devotionals, she offers rare, secret glimpses into the real lives of those who are ill, which will not only resonate and comfort those who are ill, but will also enlighten and surprise readers who wish to understand the arduous journey through the valley of illness.”

“There are four places to find comfort: on your knees to Jesus, the Bible, in the arms of Father God, and by reading The God of All Comfort. You will draw real comfort from real people decimated by dealing with real illness and disabilities, some like yours, some like mine. Drink in, inhale these devotions and they will calm and soothe you like the balm of Gilead. Those in pain will keep this book close to their bedside.”
