It’s finally here. This book is happening, guys. It has a cover, a release date, a blurb, an editor, alpha and betas, a formatter, and an awesome potential foreword writer. And today, at last, I get to share some of these things with you! (alas, not all) Keeping secrets is hard. But if you’ll keep reading you can relieve me of some of them.
First, the official blurb!
Are you a teenager trying to navigate faith through chronic illness? I’m here to tell you, you are not alone.
When sickness takes over your life, it’s a never-ending battle to make it through each day. How do you cope? How do you keep fighting? Most of all though, how do you find God in the midst of the suffering?
Through my own journey of sickness, I’ve struggled with the same questions—questions we all think but are afraid to ask. My name is Sara, and I’ve been sick with Lyme disease and more since I was fourteen.
Those questions you’re afraid to ask? I’ve asked them too—as have many others.
This book addresses topics and questions such as:
- Why is there sickness?
- Where is God in sickness?
- Resting in the storm
- How to deal with the way chronic illness changes you
- Joy and despair
- Hope
- Praying through chronic illness
- Relationships in the midst of chronic illness
- And more!
The journey of illness is not an easy one, but hope remains. God hasn’t left us. He hasn’t forgotten us. On the contrary, He’s making diamonds out of us.
Ahh! Who’s excited? I am! A year in the making, this book is finally (almost) ready to be launched into the world! When? *drumroll*……….. July 23rd! Twenty days from now, y’all! All your patient waiting has paid off. You don’t have to wait much longer. You can add it on Goodreads here. 😀
Okay, now for the cover reveal! Are you ready? 😀 Here it is!

*beams* Isn’s is amazing?! I honestly didn’t know what I wanted… but it is perfect, thanks to Dan Sirak from Jolt Studios.
To celebrate, I’ve teamed up with three different authors to do a giveaway! We’ll be giving away three different books, one to each of three winners:
Stop 2: The Introverted Raconteur (where you’ll find clue #2)
I am looking forward to this book. As a pastor of youth and families, I can see this book being a blessing to both teens and their parents as they navigate through trials like yours.
I appreciate your transparency as you admit we struggle with questions and how, rather than avoiding them, you want to address them.
Blessings to you on this book release! (By the way, a wonderful and captivating cover!)
Thank you so much for your encouragement! 🙂 I can’t wait to be able to share it with people. There’s so many more of us than I ever realized.
Thanks! I’m glad you like the cover! 😀
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Congratulations, I’m so excited for you! I know this book is going to impact so many people. Also, the design of the mountain going into the diamond is just fabulous. I can’t wait to see how God continues to use this and you!
Thank you, Isabelle! <3 That means a lot. 😀 So glad you like the cover!
