Chronic Blessings

Finding Life's Greatest Joys Within Your Deepest Heartache

By: Cristy Maddox

Narrated by: Ali Cheff

Do you want to enjoy the life you are living, even as you face significant life challenges?

Are you grieving the loss of the life you planned?

Is your body or mind failing you?

Can you ever find joy, peace, or fulfillment in these challenging situations? The answer is a resounding yes.

Cristy Maddox searched for answers that were not coming; for a diagnosis to explain her symptoms. For nearly 10 years Cristy and her husband Greg researched and learned about an illness they had never previously heard of, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. An illness affecting over two million Americans and one in every 100 teenagers!

This invisible intruder not only places Cristy at risk but her children as well. Feeling isolated and misunderstood, Cristy grieves the loss of the life she once knew.

But now, Cristy brings her findings and insights to you in this compelling, honest, and often too-real story, providing answers to the many perplexing questions surrounding chronic illness. She takes you on a journey of learning the purpose of hardship, a better way to view pain and how to allow God to recycle it for good.

Are you ready to discover that your greatest joys in life may be hidden in your deepest heartache?

Encouraging!

I enjoyed this book! It had a lot of the author's medical journey outlined and may have been far more encouraging if I had a similar struggle. But overall I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Inspiring and helpful

A very inspiring story. Even though this is about living with chronic illness, the lessons the author relates can be applied to any form of suffering. A highly recommended listen.

So encouraging, great book

I also have POTS. I am 21 yrs old and have asked why in these recent years that my health gets worse when I’m so young… I also am a healthcare worker- I’ve been an LVN 2 yrs and just graduated with my RN but can’t work full time due to health… I needed this so much Cristy. Thank you for writing about your journey and sharing what you’ve learned—it helps a lot. May God bless you!

Amazing testimony

God used Cristy's testimony to speak to my heart. a must read for someone dealing with a chronic illness.

Terrible for someone with anxiety

If you are anxious and struggling with panic and depression due to your chronic illness was battle then this book will not help. It will however possibly send you down a few more rabbit holes concerning your illness. I kept waiting for it to teach me how to cope with my own illness but it never did it only made me more anxious.
