I Sought the Lord and He Answered: A Testimony of Living with Chronic Illness in an Uncertain World
by Susan L. Hendrix, MHA
In a world gripped by uncertainty, where chronic illness feels like a daily battle, I Sought the Lord and He Answered is a beacon of light and hope. Through powerful storytelling, Scripture, and raw honesty, Susan L. Hendrix invites readers into her deeply personal journey of living with lupus—a diagnosis she’s walked through since the age of five.
Now, at 64, Susan reflects on how God’s grace has sustained her for nearly six decades. This faith-filled memoir is not just about illness—it’s about endurance, spiritual growth, and the strength found in surrender. From late-night hospital admissions to pressing through graduate school with a 3.5 GPA during a painful flare, Susan’s story is a testament to the sustaining power of faith.
Each chapter offers:
