Book Review It Is Well With My Soul
This is absolutely one of the best devotionals that gives
comfort and encouragement during difficult life situations. Shelly Beach did an excellent job collecting
the many life stories of people and sharing her situations to give hope to
those who are hurting.
A story about Jill Gibbs on pg 105 was something that really
spoke to me.
Her advice for other women who mother with
handicaps? “God gave you to your
child. He loves your child even more
than you do. He chose you to be your
child’s mother, and your children aren’t getting the short end of the stick.
Parenting may be difficult, but you’re the right parent for your son or
daughter.”
With the diagnosis of my fibromyalgia I have struggled with
a lot of false guilt. It is very painful at times to not be able to do
activities with the family or even be able to do the simplest household duties.
It is a relief to hear I am not messing my family up. With God’s help you can
use illnesses and tragedies to make children stronger and full of compassion
for others.
There are a lot of books out that are given to the hurting
by well meaning people. Sometimes their “thoughtfulness” isn’t appreciated.
This book is definitely one that will not be offensive but truly a treasure to
own.
