Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Christianity, and Culture

This fascinating first-person account offers new hope to CFIDS sufferers with a personal, anthropological, and Biblical view of disability. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Christianity, and Culture: Between God and an Illness presents a powerfully reasoned, deeply felt analysis of the cultural factors that make disability so difficult in our society, including the anxiety that lies behind our stress on economic productivity and the economic factors that influence our cultural bias against the disabled. This book emphasizes the Biblical meanings of suffering and faithfulness as the New Testament's measure of success in life.
