Health, Healing, and Wholeness

by Tracy Crump

Through her work as an intensive care nurse, Tracy Crump witnessed lifesaving miracles when everyone involved had given up–everyone except God. She cared for patients, family, and friends experiencing major health crises and offered encouragement no matter the situation, knowing we don’t always experience healing in this life.

Crafted with unique examples of God’s miraculous power and saving grace, Health, Healing, and Wholeness blends Scripture-rich meditations with biblical principles that highlight God’s mercy in times of medical need. Moving stories of a mother’s sacrifice, children overcoming catastrophic accidents, the beauty of a life well lived, and joy despite traumatic brain injury instill hope.

Whether you are experiencing a medical crisis, walking alongside someone who is, or caring for a loved one, these thirty devotions will bring comfort and peace.

Prepare to embark on a journey to wholeness.
