In either case, you desperately want to find a solution, a way to stop the pain so that life can-somehow-return to normal, or at least close to normal. You want to play catch with your grandchild again. Or be able to lift your child into your arms and hug them close. Or play tennis. Or go for a bike ride with your family, go sailing, paint those canvases, play the piano, walk from your house to the car and from the car to the store. Without pain. And you aren't just suffering physical pain, you're suffering the emotional pain and fatigue of coping and living a life with limits day after day, hour after hour.

Our bodies want to find balance or homeostasis, but She didn't make it easy to achieve. In fact, if you've been careless with your body, fed it a poor diet, washed your food down with alcohol, and failed to give it enough rest or exercise, then you have your work cut out for you. And you must take responsibility for that, not just for your physical well-being but for your emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being, too. All these parts of what it means to be human, to be a healthy human, are interconnected and affect and influence each other. Fortunately, the body is resilient. The body can bounce back. Fortunately. This book will help you discover how resilient your body is. And how, if you understand and overcome your pain, you can pursue the life you desire...for yourself and your loved ones. You can do it. Let's get started.

Meet Juliet Smith as she goes about her busy day in London, rising early, praying for herself, her family and those in her community. It is an orderly life, but she has suffered poverty, hardship and occasional abuse. Despite her ordeals, Juliet is upbeat, her faith in the Lord solid, her commitment to her church and volunteering work unyielding. Juliet maintains the faith she gained as a teenager in Sierra Leone, and she thanks and praises Lord Jesus Christ for his suffering. Now join Juliet, as she tells of her pride in her son, Jenner, who inspires her; hear of a family that took advantage of her good nature, and sometimes helped her. Above all, learn of Juliet's faith; how steadfast belief in God shapes her life in a world full of prejudice and bigotry.
