In the busy-ness of the season this booklet can open the meaning of God's love, which is the primary message of Christmas: that 'God so loved the world as to send his only Son to save the world'.

Illness is one of the most challenging and disturbing experiences for any person. It can shake us to the very core and make us question everything we hold dear. Prayer that might have flowed so easily when we were well can, in times of illness, become like a mountain impossible to scale.
