The author of the book “So You Have a Disease: Devotions and Stories to Restore Hope,” Beth Praed, was interviewed by Benji Cole of CBS Radio. They talked about the in-depth nature of her book’s theme and inspiration during the interview. This book helps readers flourish even though they have been diagnosed with a disease. Praed’s true-life stories are uplifting and are well-matched with relevant Bible verses.
Beth Praed believes in the power of education and has two master’s degrees; the first was in music education. She taught for years until her multiple sclerosis (MS) took away her ability to play the piano. Her second degree is in communication, PR, public speaking, and journalism.
After the neurologist told Beth that her MS would be fatal for her, she felt discouraged and quit writing this book for two years. She then dreamt about her funeral where the minister says that she wrote books and was best remembered for her devotional book about disease. That dream fuels Beth to finish this book, which has now won a national award—the Book Excellence award in the gift book category.
