From Grim to Green Pastures: Meditations for the Sick and Their Caregivers

Richard Lyon Morgan. Upper Room Books, $10 (190pp) ISBN 978-0-8358-0708-1

In trying to overcome severe complications from an illness followed by surgery, Morgan found much support for his physical ailments but almost none for his spiritual needs. Using a daily scripture reading, a meditation, and a prayer, Morgan arrives at an understanding that while a catastrophic illness can take control of one's life emotionally, physically and spiritually, it can also point to divine presence and healing. This is a wise and excellent devotional for anyone involved in the land of sickness, be it as the afflicted or as the caregiver. (Oct.)
