When you think of someone who is "active" in church, who do you picture?
The primary teacher who can keep up with the hyper Sunbeams? The bishop meeting with members daily? The consistent and reliable organist? The young women leader pulling an all-nighter before girls camp? Too often commitment to the gospel is mistakenly equated with the ability to attend all meetings, show up for every service project, or hold a demanding calling. With all that we could be doing, should be doing, or want to be doing, how do we live the gospel with chronic illness? How do we identify what is good enough for now in the Lord's eyes and trust that He will, one day, make us whole?
Destiny Yarbro has lived with chronic illness since her mission in 2009. She did not write this book as an expert, but as someone who regularly struggles to know what is good enough. Writing it during the hardest time of her life seemed counterintuitive, yet unexpected layers of healing and fresh scriptural insights came even while living in 'survival mode'. The beautiful responses of 28 other members with chronic illness are also included in this real, yet hope-filled, book.

Highlighted Reviews "Wow! Beautiful fresh insights into how the Savior heals us. Realistic ways others have lived their devotion within the framework of chronic illnesses. And I can't wait to start on the music playlist in the resources and to read that which each person sited as their critical help while in their darkest hours. Easy to read, very uplifting." "Simple to read but filled with pearls! I appreciated that the writing was invitational and not prescriptive. The stories and examples of those living with chronic illnesses were thought provoking and helped me change my frame of reference around chronic illness. I found the study of stories in the old and new testaments through the lens of chronic illness uplifting and hopeful. I can't wait to share this with those who might be looking for a better way to navigate church and the gospel or those who, like me, want to better understand and support those with a chronic illness."
