From Recovery to Restoration

What are you recovering from? A life-threatening illness or injury? The loss of a loved one? A financial setback? Abandonment? Life seems out of control? Uncertainty reigns? Elizabeth Turnage's book From Recovery to Restoration was written for such a time as this. Sharing from her personal experiences of pain and loss, Elizabeth writes vulnerably and with vivid word pictures. In this 60-day devotional, covering myriad causes of trauma, you will journey through Scripture for encouragement and hope, connecting with the likes of King David in a dark valley, assured that the Good Shepherd was always with him. Each chapter guides you to personal prayer and reflection. Recovery is possible and restoration becomes reality. Judy Douglass Writer, Speaker, Encourager Author of When You Love a Prodigal, Office of the President, Cru Leading a mission agency, you see first-hand what it looks like for things to break down and fall apart. From personal losses, to physical danger, to the heartbreaking grief of ministry in a broken world, every cross-cultural worker faces hardship and crisis as a normal part of their calling. In honest, direct language, From Recovery to Restoration helps all who are suffering loss recalibrate their hearts and refocus their eyes on Jesus, who is our only true source of hope. The gospel not only gives us the freedom to name our need, our brokenness and our suffering--it also leads us back to the One who is making all things new, including our hearts. I'm profoundly grateful for the way Elizabeth Turnage models that journey for us. Bob Osborne Executive Director, Serge After the death of our son Mark, I would have soaked in Elizabeth Turnage's book, From Recovery to Restoration.
