Publisher's summary

Christ doesn't see dead-ends. When all I could see was every failed treatment option, every possible avenue of hope closed off or made me worse, and everything I loved and cherished pulled away or permanently altered, Christ revealed his unlimited power by showing me my hope for healing can never be tied to a diagnosis, a specific outcome, or a cure, but only to him.

Travel with me through my story from an idyllic childhood, splattered with those poignant, some painful, life-changing events which implanted deep roots of controlled discipline and self-reliance within me. This self-reliant mindset proved useful to overcome all obstacles and to juggle all the challenges of educational pursuits, marriage, kids, a law practice, and life. Until in my early thirties, my health unexpectedly began to decline shortly after reaching the apex of my career as a lawyer.

Witness the physical and spiritual transformation provided by Christ after years of the bleakest and most hopeless time in my life battling severe, chronic pain from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. Christ renewed my mind, my language, and my actions as he revealed to me how suffering led to a hyperfocus on the problem, which blinded me to the truth that Christ wasn't limited by what I only saw as possible. I viewed my health as an obstacle to overcome instead of as a divine invitation to push through to a deeper level of faith and unleash his divine purpose and power into my life and the lives of others.
