"Nancy Groves has given a voice to the shifting emotions one feels when diagnosed with a chronic illness. Providing reflections and prayers for many stages of emotion, this is a valuable guide to finding the comfort of God's loving embrace in difficult times."
Matthew Ellis, Executive Director, National Episcopal Health Ministries

"In the face of illness, which every person will either experience or be impacted by, there is an invitation to grow in grace and perspective. This book opens the inner door of dialogue to think, feel, and pray through suffering, to discover God's healing love."
Rev. Philip McGaugh, Pastor, St. Bartholomew, Needham, MA, and former Catholic Chaplain, Massachusetts General Hospital

"A literary compass of compassion is truly an accurate description of Facing Illness, Finding Peace, by Nancy Groves. With a superb succinctness, Ms. Groves provides a soothing guide to anyone who confronts illness whether directly or indirectly. Her clever method of presenting prayer (feelings) and reflections (resultant questions) is wonderful and I feel only a creative base and catalyst to numerous others that the reader will formulate. Simply put, this compact and concise book is an invaluable and timeless reference source. Brava Ms. Groves!"
