    About this audiobook

    Physical sickness affects more than just our bodies; it takes a toll on our emotional and spiritual health as well. In this honest book, best-selling author John Piper shares ten lessons he learned while in the hospital. Written to help those in the hospital focus their attention on God, his grace, and his plan-when such focus can be especially hard-this volume blends together personal narrative with biblical reflections to help readers rely on the God who stands ready to comfort and support his people. Whether it's cultivating a sense of gratitude, resisting the temptation to watch television 24/7, or looking for ways to serve those around them, this book encourages those who are sick to fight for faith in the midst of their illness.

      So love the insights of this book. It truly helps.
    • 5/5
      I downloaded this audiobook and listened to in from a hospital bed tonight..before I read this I was feeling discouraged and lonely and hopeless. After I read this I felt hopeful, not alone at all, and awakened to the blessings and mercies of God that go unnoticed in suffering. It’s a short book, easily read while waiting for your doctor to come. : ) It’s one that needs to be read over again slowly noting and soaking in God’s truths. Thank you Pastor John.
