This
devotion book is for those who need encouragement on the hard days. There are
days when I am spiritually weary and need to be reminded of the hope I have in
the Lord. Some of these devotionals were written on the days when I struggled
to cling to hope. I wrote the words that I needed to hear on those hard days.
Perhaps they are the words you need to hear too.
God has given
me much encouragement and comfort through His Word, and I want to pass on the
encouragement and comfort to you. I pray that you will not despair when the
hard days come, but that you will cling to the hope found in Christ.

What others have said about Hope for the Hard Days:
“Rachel's devotional is full of hope gleaned from God's Word - hope that we can have only through the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Writing from the perspective of someone who knows what it is like to live with a debilitating chronic illness, Rachel's joy shines through. Her perspective will encourage you no matter what you're presently facing in your life. I recommend Hope for the Hard Days to anyone experiencing tough times.”
Linda Massey Weddle, Senior Writer/Corporate blogger – Awana, blog.awana.org
"There are days when hope is hard to find. Yet when we seek Him and Truth, we discover that HE is the Hope that anchors our soul. Hope for the Hard Days is written by one who knows affliction. Rachel Lundy has given us rich and yet tender words for our fragile, weary seasons, timely words for any struggler. She writes with beautiful honesty, raw reality yet brimming with hope for those who may have little.”
Kathy Ferguson Litton, National Consultant for Ministry to Pastor's Wives, flourish.me
“Rachel Lundy’s example of faithfulness in difficult circumstances was a blessing to me before I became ill, but since becoming partially homebound myself during treatment for cancer, her grace and beauty have inspired me to embrace my own situation as a part of God’s divine design. She has taught me to look for God’s hand in all of life, and through this series of devotions, she will encourage, inspire, and lead others to look to the Lord and His strength.”
Beth Holmes, ministry wife, mom, blogger at bethholmes.wordpress.com
“Rachel's heart for those walking through difficult times is evident in the pages of her new devotional Hope for the Hard Days. As a woman who is no stranger to pain and weariness, Rachel desires to share the hope she has found in a relationship with God that helps sustain her. Recognizing that life can't and won't be ‘perfect,’ Rachel pairs her own experiences and hardships with the scriptures that have encouraged her, to offer a way of living that we all can benefit from. No matter where your journey finds you today, Hope for the Hard Days is the perfect devotional to begin your day with."

Endorsement for Chronic Illness and Friendship:
"’But I
asked her to go to the movies! She never takes me up on my offer.’ If you have
a friend with a chronic illness it can be a challenge to know how to encourage
her or help in the way she needs most. Rachel Lundy has written a 36-page book
'Chronic Illness and Friendship' that inspires us all to be better
friends--whether we are the one with the illness or the friend of one in pain.
It reminds us to remember the family of one who is ill as we learn more about
her world. ‘Chronic Illness and Friendship’ also explains how to pray for and
encourage one who is ill--which may be much different than we assume. Rachel
has written a book that can be used as a conversation tool with friends,
complete with topical questions at the end of each chapter. This book gives
terrific insight into the value of friendships--even when you feel too tired to
pursue them. If you are chronically ill or wish to be a better friend to those
who are, this book will be an evening read, but it may impact your life for
years to come.”

From the book description:
Every Friday for years, hundreds of people have joined an online writing flash mob called Five Minute Friday - a community of word lovers who throw caution to the wind and just write without worrying if it's just right.
These are their stories. One shared prompt. Five unedited minutes.
They silence the inner critic and write like we used to run as kids - with abandon and delight, not caring what anyone else things. It's like free therapy.
Everyone is welcome: bit.ly/fiveminutefriday
Because if you only have five minutes to write, don't spend them defeated. Spend them writing.
I am thrilled to be one of the contributing authors in this book. You can read more about Five Minute Friday here. The Five Minute Friday book can be purchased here on Amazon. All of the proceeds will be given to The Vine School and the Ten Dollar Tribe.
