Out of the Wilderness: A Story of Survival, Healing, and Purpose (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798385061341)

Jodi Handley Cherry uncovers the unexpected connections across seemingly random symptoms, which led to a diagnosis of several chronic illnesses complicated by impacts of COVID-19. Through a lens of research, she reveals the surprising prevalence of these "uncommon" ailments in a post-COVID-19 world.

Just as important, she provides a healing framework rooted in faith to help those ailing from unexplainable illnesses. The book advocates health care reform to serve an untapped community grappling for help. It also provides a real-life account of the author's path to combat twelve coexisting chronic illnesses, exposing the stark reality of the chronically ill.

The book focuses on topics such as: gaps in the medical system in diagnosing and treating the chronically ill; ways faith can help patients navigate a wilderness season; insights on caring for a sick loved one, whether you are a family member, friend, church leader, or health care provider.

At its core, this book provides a lesson in faith for those yearning to grow closer to God and live a life with joy and resiliency that is not defined by suffering from a chronic illness.
