THIS BOOK IS A GIFT FOR THOSE TIMES OF SICKNESS AND SUFFERING!

A tool to give you HOPE and ENCOURAGEMENT!

"The unpredictable path of life can bring us face to face with great challenges and suffering. How do we handle these challenges and the suffering that can be so unpredictable? Can we find meaning in suffering? What choices do we have in the turmoil of great challenges? What can we learn from people who have faced great suffering? Let's find out and answer these questions by taking a heart-felt journey of love, hope and inspiration in Paula Umana's new book "40 Gifts of Hope."

In this inspiring journey, Paula shares her story of survival as a quadriplegic victim. Her story is interspersed throughout the book with other inspiring stories, including those experiencing cancer, multiple sclerosis, neurological disease, stroke, inflammatory disease, addiction, sexual abuse and autoimmune disease.

Each person shares their journey from victim to victor and their thoughts on how you can do the same. Paula is a warm, caring, authentic woman, who delights in sharing her story and thus bringing comfort to those who are in the "eye of the storm".

"Wow! Paula, our author, has been given a beautiful spiritual vision. As a Catholic priest, totally blind for 90% of my life, Iam nourished by the deep stories in these pages, and intend to draw upon them in many upcoming missions and retreats.
