Wholeness in Illness

By Roberta S. Poorman

Beloved teacher, counselor and pastor Roberta S. Poorman describes the journey to spiritual wholeness in the face of illness. Those in chronic pain must consider their identity in terms of God's intention and the reality of a fallen world. A carefully-described theology of suffering can help individuals find a closeness to God and a richness of ministry not available to the unafflicted. Dr. Poorman lived out the theology throughout 35 years of multiple chronic illnesses, ministering to many along the way. Her husband and partner in ministry, John Poorman, adds insights for those called to comfort those with chronic conditions. 100%% of the proceeds from the sale of this book are used to support ministries of the United Methodist Church in Zimbabwe.
