Why Not Me?

This is a journey through the dark side of disability, chronic pain and doubt, to find joy and faith in a unique way. The author suffers from disability, chronic pain, and has used these as a way to explore who he is, his faith, who God is and what the future can look like. After struggling for years with the common church response to person's with disabilities, his heart broke to the point of wanting to offer something to those people who did not fit the mold, who felt left out even in church. This book helps others with challenging conditions dig deep, shout at God a little, mourn what they though their life would be like. Then it helps them guild a future they want, with their goals, and their vision of success instead of one imposed by others. This is a book for the challenged as well as those who love them. It deals with topics such as loneliness, communication, blaming ourselves, blaming God, and how to restore our faith in God even if our faith in Christians falters. If you have ever felt angry at God or misunderstood by Christians, you will find a faith-growing journey within these pages. This is about realizing we all are unique, and that scripture has s different lesson to teach each of us. Many people with physical; and mental disabilities and/or chronic pain grow tired of the self-serving advice, pandering, platitudes and false comfort and look for something real in their lives to help them with what they face. Every individual with a challenging condition is different and that is the heart of this book. If people pointing their finger telling you, "they did it, why can't you," has frustrated you, this might be the book for you. If anyone has ever told you "its all in your head," this might be the book for you. If you have been left, condemned, attacked or belittled for your challenges, then please read this book!
