Synopsis

Almost everyone faces some physical or mental or emotional challenges. Spiritual people pray about it, hope, try to stay positive, sometimes argue with God, and remind God of the many promises there are in Scripture about healing. But sometimes, healing doesn't come, or doesn't come as desired. Although many turn their back on God when God doesn't heal, others stay in the struggle with God, expand their theology, and learn more about the nature of God and the nature of suffering. Dr. Linda Seger, one of the world authorities on screenwriting, has struggled with dystonia (a movement disorder) for some years. Then, as she was improving, she was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer in fall, 2015. Both disorders have caused physical, emotional, and spiritual frustrations and the rehabilitation for each has been counter to the other, causing her to make difficult choices, and to be challenged to persevere. In this book, she reflects on the many theological issues and spiritual issues that we encounter when we're ill - and how we re-form our relationship with God when healing doesn't come as desired.

About the Author

The author, Dr. Linda Seger, was the founder of the script consulting profession, and one of the authorities in the field of screenwriting, sought after for seminars and consulting and for her 9 books on screenwriting. She was at the top of her field. In 2009, she developed a movement disorder called dystonia which was aggravating, frustrating, and demanded hours of therapy a day. For a year she was unable to travel and reading was difficult. Just as she was improving, she was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. During this time, she began to write about her spiritual experiences, struggling with her medical problems and working through her relationship with God as someone wanting and waiting to be healed. Her theological background, and her refusal to give up on God, informed her journey. She hopes the digging deep that she has done will help illuminate the sufferings of others.
