Whether you are the caregiver or the patient, the what-if’s of the waiting room can feel terrifying, and the wait can feel agonizing. Cancer, tumor, stroke, traumatic injury, or major surgery—a health crisis of any kind involves waiting. This waiting arouses many emotions: fear, uncertainty, sorrow, agony, and anger among them. In this devotional for caregivers and patients, Elizabeth Reynolds Turnage reminds us of the certain hope and surpassing peace of the gospel: God has worked miraculous deeds and redemptive wonders in the past, and Jesus will “soon” come again to end our wait, and to bring full and final healing. These sixty meditations for peace and hope will encourage you as you wait. “This brilliant book is a tender gift of the presence of God for those caught in the deep woods of medical uncertainty. Elizabeth Turnage offers a wisdom that has been hard won, meets the test of the gospel, and is beautifully and brilliantly written. Dan B. Allender PhD Professor of Counseling Psychology and Founding President The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology “Elizabeth meets us in the waiting room as an empathetic friend reminding us what is true in His Word and urging us to listen to the refreshing lyrics of the gospel.” Karen Hodge Coordinator of Women’s Ministries Presbyterian Church in America (PCA)

In this 1967 novel Wilson Harris explores the spiritual and psychic realities beyond the mundane facts of relationships, boldly constructing his story on the basis of fragments. When the Forrestals died in an explosion that wrecked their home and destroyed most of its contents, there survived a disjointed diary - or 'log book', as Susan Forrestal called it. She had suffered from an affliction of the eyes which, after three operations, left her almost blind. Abandoned by her lover, who disappeared without a trace, she eventually married a kind and solicitous husband; nevertheless her lover continued to haunt her in such a way that his presence had an almost living reality. 'I admire Wilson Harris's novels greatly; he is one of the very few living novelists whose works are too brief for my tastes.' Anthony Burgess

Mark and Sarah meet and fall in love at university and while he thinks it will last forever, she isn’t quite so sure. Inevitably they drift apart bit by bit. Over half a decade later the successful city lawyer meets her old postgraduate boyfriend and despite obvious differences in career success they start to fall in love all over again. Moving in is only the first step in their grown-up west London lives and despite all the fun, they start to feel their lives, while full, are not quite complete. The Waiting Room tells the story of Sarah and Mark’s disappointment and pain in facing recurring loss and the frustrating journey navigating the complex world of IVF clinics and treatments. It follows them as they experience excitement, grief and ultimately resolution as they discover as much about themselves as they do about each other.

The hope is that you'll be able to see yourself in these pages and find validation and belonging between the carefully thought-out words.

Throughout our lives, we all need a place to be, to belong, to contribute, and to be loved. These elements define us and help create our story. At times, the dynamic nature of life can take us to places that extend well beyond our means and make us feel as if we have no control over our destiny. Everyone enters the waiting room at very deliberate times in their life--at times for reasons unknown--but everyone passes through. When we experience these life moments in the waiting room, there are lessons to embrace. If we allow our eyes to see and our hearts to behold, we can readily integrate these lessons learned. It is truly in living in this waiting room that we can turn to the next challenge with renewed strength and insight. This enables us to greet our next triumph with a lens that acknowledges and celebrates the attainment of these gifts, furthering human development and connection. The greatest present we can give each other (and ourselves) is this time, and yet one of our greatest fears is that of authentically being connected. These are among the many prolific revelations for our reflection as we frequent the timeless waiting room. _____________________________________________________ I know what you are thinking...how many of us remain in the waiting room as we continue to navigate these dynamic COVID-19 times. So much of what we have come to know--how we work, learn, love, celebrate, mourn, communicate, and connect--has been transformed. As we frequent this place, the waiting room, what lessons will we come to know? How will our lives be transformed? How will you live in the waiting room?

Mary Morris, the acclaimed author of Nothing to Declare, the remarkable journal of a woman traveling alone, now brings us an absorbing and evocative novel of healing and forgiveness, love and war. THE WAITING ROOM is the intricate tale of three generations of women whose lives have been shaped by the essential experience of all women, that of waiting—for love to grow stronger, for wars to end, for life to move ahead. In its richly woven texture, its movements through time and space, the novel introduces us to the unforgettable members of the Coleman family: Zoe, who returns home after years away to confront her brother Badger’s break with reality—the result of taking too many drugs in Canada, where he fled to avoid the Vietnam War; June, Zoe’s mother, who first suffered a deep estrangement from her husband when he returned from World War II; and Naomi, the grandmother, who fled the pogroms of Russia. From the Home on the Road Motel to Badger’s residence at the austere Heartland Clinic, from the plains of the Midwest to the swamps of Florida, three women confront men, madness, dreams, and ultimately one another. Filled with humor and the wisdom of generations, THE WAITING ROOM is a novel of hope in the face of loss, of war and its casualties. It is also about freeing oneself from the dark side of waiting, and escaping into the light of love. Written in a magical, almost fablelike manner, and with the inimitable humor that informs the fiction of Mary Morris, THE WAITING ROOM fulfills the promise of Morris’ earlier work, which, from the start, has distinguished the author as a unique American voice.

In 1850, after the Gold Rush and Californias admission to the union, two brothers acquired some valuable land. There was a young tree on that land. It was growing fast and began to exhibit a peculiar feature. Its roots didnt seem to go deep but instead spread out above-ground. One brother became concerned. Why didnt the roots go down? He thought something sinister must be buried beneath that tree. The roots seemed to balk at going there. His brother thought it wasnt anything to get worried about, just the natural way of that tree. It didnt look right though, even to him, and as the tree continued to grow, he wondered too. A century and a half later, the tree is still there, with roots, tendrils and knobs extending in every direction, strange, unnatural, at times bizarre. We still wonder, not even sure what to call it.

IN THE WAITING ROOM OF FORGIVENESS encompasses love, treachery, deceit and triumph. The story starts in Germany in 1912 and ends after World War II. It revolves around Lily von Wallenstadt (nee Mendelssohn-Bartholdy), a concert pianist, her daughter Hannah, and the individuals in their lives. It is mainly a tale of people, but also one of the nation in which they live. The characters are emblematic of their time and background. This constrains them all, but ultimately liberates some. The story is told in a realistic, hard hitting manner that promises the reader a compelling, powerful and shocking experience.
