Just not all at once. Healing takes time. Compassion and patience carry us over a lifetime of change. These are the themes I explore in my books and in the articles I have written for Patheos since 2003.

My perspective has also been shaped by chronic illness since 2017, when I developed life-threatening pneumonia that caused lasting damage to my body, triggered several further conditions, and uncovered a diagnosis of blood cancer. This was successfully treated, although doctors expect it to return in the future. Out of these experiences I founded Blood Cancer Uncensored, an online patient-led support community.

There are short books, and there are really<\/em> short books.

This book is definitely worth the very short time it will take you to read.\u00a0 The really great news is that right now you can order it for less than 2 British pounds from 10ofthose.com<\/a>, but hurry, as the offer only lasts for another day.\u00a0 At that price you could easily ask them to ship it to you overseas.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
