About the Book

MS Living With Hope and Strength No one knows your deepest fears, your unspoken uncertainties. Others can’t see your pain or fatigue. Others don’t know how it’s become much harder for you to concentrate. There are days you feel fine. There are days you even feel happy. But that joy seems so fragile. There is no inner strength to lean on. People could never know just how much you are clinging to this book, hoping it will offer the assurance you need. If you are living with Multiple Sclerosis (or any chronic disease), most likely you feel discouraged from time to time or even hopeless. While waiting for a cure, your disease continues to impact your life. The future seems uncertain because your health is unpredictable and changing. Perhaps you feel like you are imprisoned in your body and have been given a life sentence of pain and fatigue. Pills are prescribed for the pain and supplements are available to boost your strength. But we all want to find relief from emotional pain (so that we can endure the trial). We all yearn for inner strength that is lasting, not fleeting and dependent on circumstances and good health. This book offers God’s prescription for hope and strength. In the midst of real pain, real fatigue, real disappointments, Vicki found His abundant hope. God can turn worries into peace, your sadness into joy. This story of her journey with MS is inspirational, informative, and entertaining.

In addition, she was a school administrator. Throughout her career, she has done teacher training. As a parent and as an educator, Vicki has had to address the issue of poor self esteem. Many parents and teachers seek her advice on the issue. She’s experienced anguish whenever she heard her students with special needs or her own son expressing their feelings of inferiority and worthlessness. All of her experiences have shown her that God esteem is the only solution to poor self esteem because it provides a clear understanding to a person’s real value and purpose in life. She is God’s messenger of hope to you.
