WHEN IT HURTS! is a gift book of encouragement for those going through the rough waters of life. Often people feel isolated and alone in their pain and this book reflects that pain. The poems deal with storms in life from death and betrayal to physical and emotional pain and more. Appropriate Scripture focuses on the One who can ease the pain, bring comfort and hope.

The new, revised edition of WHEN IT HURTS! is pocket size to fit nicely in a pocket or purse. The new cover by Chris Scheidies also conveys that aloneness we feel when we're hurting from a lost loved one, a relationship gone wrong, chronic illness or any number of mind-numbing shocks that come our way.

Carolyn R Scheidies said, "The passages in WHEN IT HURTS! stem from sorrow, pain, anger and grief in my own life." Scheidies added, "As I cried and screamed and fought, I came to realize that God could handle my pain and tears. He was and is there when we need Him most."

WHEN IT HURTS! Is a gift book that offers a way back to healing and hope. Check it out at http://idealinhope.com/author/nonfiction.html.
