A well-thought-out, nicely "organized" Bible study/devotional. The author writes from personal experience with the intention of guiding into a place of hope, personal growth, and victory, for those who deal with chronic pain. The material is beneficial not only on an individual basis, but also is an excellent leaders' guide for those in ministry who are called to lead a Bible study/facilitate a support group aimed at helping others live with chronic pain. Watch for the second book in this series, to be released Summer of 2008, Choices: Managing Chronic Pain, which promises to be just as good and as helpful as The Silver Bullet. - Deborah Geyer (Sparks, NV)
My experience as a licensed professional counselor with clients living in chronic pain is that a large part of their lives are driven by their feelings. However, Scripture states, "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." (Col. 3:2) The Silver Bullet helps those with chronic pain to be in the word of God daily, therefore creating a proper balance between dealing with the reality of physical pain and the reality of a very present God. - Carol L. Selander M.S., M.F.C.C. (Colorado City, CO)
I was so pleased to have this book come about, because I've prayed for this for many years, since I have been dealing with Systemic Lupus for about twenty years. I was wanting a book that had studies set up for a Bible study that had scriptures to encourage give hope to those that are feeling discouraged because of their pain and conditions. Nothing could have been better until I actually got to meet Jonnie Wright and be in a Bible Study for chronic pain sufferers and use her book! Jonnie is a very sweet woman with integrity and faith and she understands what it means to suffer. She doesn't write for profit, she writes for God with the gift that He gave her. Now I am looking forward to her next book, Choices to be released any day. - Mary Christ (Roseville, CA)
For me this study [The Silver Bullet] is the perfect amount of time spent reading, learning, processing, praying and re-evaluating my God to my body ratio.- Barbara Maase (Plymouth, MN)
The Silver Bullet can bless and help all of us, especially those who have physical difficulties. It is obvious the author has experienced chronic pain first hand. The Lord has spoken these words to her in order that we may be healed spiritually. I highly recommend this study. Jenny Fahey, R.N. (Roseville, CA)
