From the author: At some time in our lives, issues surface that we never dreamed could touch us or our loved ones. This book is for anyone who has suffered such a loss. Especially, this book is for those for whom deliverance has not come, and for those who live with or otherwise minister to such individuals. This book chronicles my battle with lupus, meningitis, and chronic illness. It explores the nature of the illness itself as well as the physical, emotional, and spiritual struggles I faced along the way. It is written as a guide to help others who face similar situations.
