-- Chronic Grace: Finding God in the Midst of Unanswered Prayers
When the pain won’t go away and the prayers seem unanswered, many Christians ask the hardest question: Where is God in this?
Chronic Grace by Julie K. Rhodes is a heartfelt response to that question, written from the trenches of chronic illness and long seasons of struggle. This book is not about offering quick fixes or spiritual clichés. Instead, it opens the door to a deeper, more honest faith—one that can survive when healing doesn’t come as quickly as hope.
A Companion in the Valley
Julie Rhodes writes with the vulnerability of someone who has been there—battling Long COVID, facing exhaustion, and sitting with the silence of unanswered prayers. Her reflections are tender yet unflinching, guiding readers through the raw reality of suffering. Whether face daily physical pain, emotional struggles, or invisible battles, Chronic Grace feels like a friend sitting beside, whispering, “You are not alone.”

Why This Book Matters
Culture often promises quick solutions. But what about when the illness is chronic? When the diagnosis doesn’t come? When the prayers for relief are met with silence? Too many Christians feel abandoned in those moments. Chronic Grace breaks the silence, acknowledging the pain while pointing to the sustaining power of God’s presence.
Julie’s voice is unique: honest without despair, faith-filled without being naïve, sometimes even humorous in the middle of hardship. Readers will find in her words both companionship and courage, knowing someone else has walked this road and discovered grace along the way.

Caregivers and loved ones searching for ways to support without losing hope.
Small groups and Bible studies looking for authentic discussions about faith and suffering.
Pastors and ministry leaders seeking resources to walk with people through long-term hardship.
What Others Are Saying

— Julie K. Rhodes
Final Invitation
