also fought chronic illness, and is open and honest about her journey. Sarah
uses her experience with her illness to inspire others. This journey is full of
compassion and warmth for her audience.
Each page

book. There is a message to uses parts of the bible. Each entry includes many
bible verses on the opposite page. There is a section that separates the weekly
