Conquering Disability

We must continually cope with changes, sometimes small, sometimes large. How can Christian faith help us when we or someone close to us experiences disability?

Dr. Edgar Jackson, a well-known and loved Christian counselor, tells what he learned during his gradual recovery from a stroke. He reminds us that even in the most difficult of circumstances, there are things we can do.

Reflecting on his own experience, Dr. Jackson encourages readers to:

remember that God is always with us;

rethink what really matters in life;

keep trusting God and look for new direction;

learn to manage a wide variety of feelings;

experience the richness of spiritual life;

work on new goals;

find new ways to reach out and help others;
