chronic illness workbook review by S. L. Nelson (Marston, NC)  4 Stars
December 12, 2008
The book is everything I expected it to be. It is very readable and do able. The author has presented the material in a way that it helps you work through the issues that arise from having a chronic illness.
Even if you can only read 10 minutes at a time, the formula she offers carries so much hope and explanations, it supports you on your journey.
I would recommend this book highly.
