First book on Prayer and Lyme Disease released
Praying Through Lyme Disease, by:
Rebecca VanDeMark, MPA
At a recent Lyme Disease conference it was
stated that “Lyme Disease is the growing epidemic and health crisis of the 21st
century”. While not well known and maybe not well handled there are hundreds
of thousands of Lyme Warriors that struggle each day just to live. Many of
them cannot get out of bed due to extreme and debilitating fatigue and pain.
Many are lying in hospital beds with doctors who don’t know what to do. Many
others are struggling emotionally under the weight of loss. Many others feel
completely isolated and forsaken. In the midst of all of this there is a voice
and a helper that calls through the dark night and says that He will never
abandon or forsaken us. But in the midst of sickness and pain it is hard to
sometimes know how to pray through the scriptures of the Bible.
“Praying Through Lyme Disease”, written by
Rebecca VanDeMark, is a thirty-one topic prayer devotional for those fighting
Lyme Disease and their loved ones. Spoken from a heart of compassion and
understanding, Rebecca understands the Lyme Disease journey well as she saw over
273 medical practitioners before being correctly diagnosed with Advanced Late
Stage Lyme Disease.
Rebecca states in her introduction, “The book
that you hold in your hand has been written from my heart. I found out I had
Advanced Late Stage Lyme Disease the day after my 33rd birthday. For
the previous six years prior to that day I had experienced a myriad of
intricate and confusing health symptoms that never made sense to any doctor. I
had spent hundreds of hours traveling across the United States talking and
consulting with some of the best in the country. No answers came and I was
eventually told that either (a) this was “in my head”, (b) I had a very
“complex case” of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (for which I had been diagnosed for)
or (c) “stress was contributing to these issues”. Finally, after seeing 273
doctors in one year, seven years of searching, hundreds of invasive and painful
tests, and thousands of prayers, I was correctly and accurately diagnosed with
Advanced Late Stage Lyme Disease. While my family and I rejoiced that there was
finally an answer, I also experienced a range of emotions as I was furious with
the medical community and overwhelmed with where to go from that point on.”
“Praying Through Lyme Disease” can be
purchased where books are sold, including Amazon. "Praying through Lyme Disease" (ISBN: 978-0692299340) is an 82 page prayer devotional. Rebecca VanDeMark can be
