The God of All Comfort: Devotions of Hope for Those Who Chronically Suffer

Coming Fall 2023!

When diagnosed with a chronic illness, where do you turn for strength, comfort, and hope?

“Judy, which Bible verses comfort and encourage you when you’re battling illness?” Terri asked. “I’d like to share them with a friend who is ill.”

Those verses, selected from years of journaling the pain and limitations of chronic illness and finding God’s strength, comfort and hope in His Word, ultimately became The God of All Comfort: Devotions of Hope for Those Who Chronically Suffer.

Based on author Judy Gann’s own experience with chronic illness as well as her interviews with eighteen people living with a variety of chronic and serious illnesses, the 52 devotions in The God of All Comfort draw readers into God’s Word to find the strength, comfort, and hope to cope with the daily challenges of living with illness. Topics include identity, pain, fatigue, loss of independence, and loneliness. This revised edition includes devotions based on the experiences of those suffering the effects of long COVID-19.

“Judy Gann understands chronic illness, and offers bite-size wisdom for weary hearts, minds, and bodies battling illnesses that have no immediate end in sight. This book is THE ideal gift for a friend or family member with ongoing health issues, or for someone newly diagnosed with a chronic illness.“

Sharon Hinck, author of Amber Bay

“Through my years as a physician, I have provided copies of The God of All Comfort for my patients who are looking for strength and hope to make it through another day. Judy Gann speaks with an authentic voice to offer insight and encouragement in the midst of the pain, the heartache, and the uncertainty of a chronic illness.“

Dr. Patricia Landry, MD Member, Focus on the Family’s Physicians Resource Counsel Life-Time Member, American Academy of Family Physicians

“Judy Gann’s prayerful reflections on a life stamped with chronic pain make a companion of all of us, pain or no pain. Nothing purges Christian witness of cliché and platitudes more effectively than suffering.”

Eugene Peterson, author of The Message

“Judy speaks with quiet authority, tenderness, and passion for young children and literacy. She gives young moms great confidence as their children’s first and foremost teachers. What a gift she’s been to our MOPS program over the years!”

Beckie Madson

MOPS Mentor Mom, Lake City Community Church

“Judy Gann’s workshop, “Marketing to Public Libraries,” was outstanding. It was filled with professional insights that helped me pitch my book to librarians in ways that captured their interest. Eight novels later, I’m proud to say that my books are on library shelves around the country thanks to Judy’s help.”

Karen Barnett

author of When Stone Wings Fly

Sometimes it’s hard to know what to do or say to those who chronically suffer. Thanks to Judy Gann’s gem, The God of All Comfort, I can now give a book filled with devotions of hope and written with compassion, courage, and conviction. I recommend this book to pastors, counselors, friends, family, and those who suffer.
