Swimming with an Anchor: The Sacred Assignment: Finding Eternal Purpose in Chronic Pain and Long-Term Illness

The purpose of this book is not to deny your pain or offer you a quick, clean fix. If a quick fix were possible, you would have already found it. Instead, the purpose is to change how you relate to the weight you carry. We are going to explore why this heavy, painful anchor is not meant to drown you, but rather to stabilize you, secure you, and prepare you for an extraordinary, divine calling your Sacred Assignment.
