From Recovery to Restoration

Discover your surpassing peace and surest hope in crisis in sixty gospel-centered meditations. Natural disaster or relational disaster, broken body or broken marriage, job loss or loss of a loved one….Crisis thrusts us into a season of healing and recovery. The journey of recovery can arouse many emotions: shock, fear, anxiety, doubt, agony, anger. Into this place of strife and sorrow, Elizabeth Reynolds Turnage gives compelling reasons to hope: God has written a story that takes us from recovery to full restoration. Each meditation contains Scripture, prayer, a relevant meditation, reflection questions, and suggested music. If you long to know the restoration hope that awaits beyond recovery, you need this book. ADVANCE PRAISE: Trauma fragments our ability to think and make good choices. Far too often, we try to overcome the fragmentation by long winded words that only burden us with tasks that we can no more carry than run with a broken leg. What I need, and Elizabeth Turnage offers with brilliant simplicity and wisdom, is perspective that cuts to the chase and grounds me in what I know to be true. This life-giving devotional will offer you hope without denying the depths of the struggle. It will free your heart to be with Jesus.
