Prickly Pears: 30 Devotions on Finding Peace, Purpose and Hope Even in the Midst of Your Pain

In Prickly Pears: 30 Devotions on Finding the Sweetness Even In the Midst of Your Pain, Bill Nichols shares his deeply personal journey through some thorny challenges-challenges that also brought God's presence and His sweetness in the darkest of times.
Using the prickly pear cactus as a powerful metaphor for painful times and God's hidden blessings, Bill tells stories of people who have inspired him in his agonizing journey and battles with three kinds of cancer, a stroke, and the challenging side effects of treatments. He uses these personal stories to reveal the transformative power of suffering and the unexpected sweetness that can emerge from it all.
Each devotion also draws from stories of biblical characters like Moses, Joseph, Esther, Mary Magdalene, and Paul-stories illustrating how God uses difficult dilemmas to reshape and bless us.
Bill invites you to shift your way of thinking about your pain. He encourages you to join him by embracing it as a companion rather than as an enemy and to discover the peace, joy, and purpose that can come from it.
Whether you're dealing with illness, loss, or any difficult situation, Prickly Pears offers you a message of honest hope and lasting resilience. Let inspiring stories guide you to a deeper faith and a renewed sense of purpose, helping you to see the beauty and blessings inside your own prickly experiences.
