This devotional interweaves the author's personal experience with lung disease, Bible passages, prayers, and reflection questions. As a leftist Christian minister with chronic illness and disability, I didn't find this book particularly helpful or ground-breaking, but I absolutely believe it would be really helpful for conservative Christians struggling with their experiences of chronic illness and disability, especially as a balm amidst ableist theology. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this copy in exchange for my honest review.

Sometimes a book falls into your hands and you begin reading it at a time when it will have the most impact on you. That is what happened to me with Catching Contentment by Liz Carter. Oh how I needed to read her wise words, and oh how they lifted my spirit!!

Ms. Carter is no stranger to chronic illness, pain and suffering, yet she does not let that define her. Rather, she chooses to define herself as God defines her, a beloved child of God who will never face anything alone and who is blessed beyond measure. She shows us how we can catch (choose) contentment, no matter what our circumstances, if we only rely on the ever-constant presence of God.

This woman has known so much darkness, that anyone struggling with dark periods of their own will find her easy to relate to. Her wisdom is present throughout, and her prayers are beautiful, heartfelt and meaningful.

I highly recommend this excellent read!

I am so thankful that NetGalley and IVP provided me with an e-copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. All opinions expressed here are my own.

Honest, inspiring, raw. It's about living with chronic illness and about Faith. Thank you to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest unbiased review
