But You LOOK Good!
Understanding and encouraging people with chronic illness and
pain
by Sherri
Connell |
 Even
though a person with a chronic
condition may LOOK healthy, it does
not mean that they FEEL the same
way. But You LOOK Good provides
a convenient, informative way to
educate loved ones about what
people with debilitating illness and
pain struggle with, fight for and need
from their friends and family. It is
easy to read, gives practical ideas on how loved ones can be
supportive, and is not too long for readers to lose interest!

Not by Sight
(formerly
called "Have A Little Faith")
by Wayne and Sherri
Connell
published by Where is God Ministries
As humans, we commonly wrestle
with understanding disabilities and illness. Unfortunately, often
the first assumption about a believer with a continuing illness is
that s/he must not have enough faith or they must
be hiding a sin. This can be devastating to those who love the
Lord and have a great deal of faith!
This booklet explains our natural responses to those debilitated by
chronic illness and gives many examples of how to be a true
encourager to our brothers and sisters in need! It is full of
Scripture and quotes from physicians who specialize in chronic
conditions. It is a must for all believers, church staff and
ministry leaders.
