 I'd
like to invite you to check out a couple of the books
that Rest Ministries has published. The first is Mosaic
Moments devotional book and you can read the
first 50 pages online for free. It's our most popular
book and is written by our daily devotional writers as
well as myself.
 The
second one is Why Can't
I Make People Understand? Discovering the Validation Those
with Chronic Illness Seek & Why. You can also
read this online for free to preview it. This was a book
I wrote because of the pain I saw people feeling, despite
their grounded faith and devotion to the Lord because
people around them didn't "get it." Couple of
the things people wrote to me about it really confirmed
it was God at work and nothing to do with me!

"I
just finished reading Why
Can't I Make People Understand.
It gave me new insight into some of my own emotions
and frustration in my 4-year struggle with fibromyalgia,
especially with my extended family members. It addresses
many of the emotions that people with a chronic (and
sometimes invisible) illness face and shows how to
reflect on God's perfect Will for our lives through
His Word (the Bible); how to be a blessing to others
through the pain; and because of the pain, we are
in a unique position to bless and encourage others
to turn to Jesus for their comfort in their times
of trial. I highly recommend it."

My
daughter loved the book Why
Can't I Make People Understand. It helped
her a lot but it helped me as her mother just as much.
A lot of the things in the book, she wanted me to
know but had difficulty telling me herself. thank
you so much for enlightening me, and for giving me
ways to help my daughter in her struggle. - K.

Anyway,
I look forward to getting to know you and I encourage
you to send us fun photos, quips, clips, etc. as we request
in the ezine. We're one big family and we want to know
how we can meet your needs, pray for you and get to know
you better.

Is
the text too small? This simple trick works on any web site and
definately is handy! To read our newsletter in larger print, first
click here to get the "web version." Then just simultaneously
hit Ctrl and the + sign on your keyboard (So Ctrl, Shift and +).
Repeat as necessary to get it to be the right size. To make text
smaller, hit the dash or minus sign ["-"] instead of
"+". To get back to normal, hit Ctrl plus 0 [zero].
This works in both Firefox and Internet Explorer.
