Disrupted Journey by Nate Brooks

People in the West typically consider happiness, comfort, health, and good relationships normal in life. When someone’s experience does not fit the mould, it can add to the pain and isolation that they are already suffering. In Disrupted Journey: Walking with Your Loved One Through Chronic Pain and Illness, Nate Brooks shares in deeply honest ways about his journey with his wife’s chronic pain. Brooks helpfully covers our expectations of life, disappointments, navigating life changes, and how to handle suffering. When tackling how to handle suffering, he speaks honestly about his struggles and how he experiences his faith. He also gives helpful examples from biblical characters and the importance of friendships with wise people. This short book is excellent for people experiencing unexpected pain and turmoil and searching for light and hope for the unknown path ahead.  If you are interested in the book, you can find it  here
