    About this ebook

    Resting on a Pillow of Prayers is inspired by the deep emotions of the heart and the silent longings of the soul. Rooted in unshakable faith in God despite living with an aggressive, recurrent cancer, Jennifer has written poems that resound with the truth of her lived experiences and offer inspiration, comfort, and joy.

    This collection of poems focuses on the themes of hope, suffering, loss, recovery, forgiveness, love, grace, faith, and Christian mission. The journey from suffering and loss to hope and healing is expressed in simple, vibrant images that uplift and encourage the reader.
