<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When a two hundred pound glass partition fell on Donna Fado Ivery's head resulting in brain injury, disability, and chronic pain, she could no longer count on walking, speaking, thinking, or caring for her infant and preschool children and husband. In her eighth year as pastor, her ministry, too, seemed terminally compromised.</p><p>With words awash, she painted her prayers and discovered in the images her path toward healing.</p><p>This inspirational memoir shares her struggle through medical, social, and church prejudice, and her support through the loving bond of family, community, and spirit. It was only through faith, prayer, and a new understanding of the miraculous ways that the Holy Spirit can work in our lives that she was able to eventually rise, function, realize and share a newly refreshed and ever-unfolding relationship with God. <em>Sleep, Pray, Heal: A Path to Wholeness and Well-Being</em> charts the path through hardship and despair and offers a map--through scripture, theology, poetry, painting, and storytelling-- to faith, healing, recovery, and well-being.</p><p>Book two of this Healing Memoir series, <em>Sleep, Pray, Fly: Spirit Journey to Healing </em> is forthcoming. For more information, see the author's website, www.DonnaFadoIvery.com, or www.AdventuresInHealing.com.</p><p> </p><p>DONNA FADO IVERY is an artist, spiritual leader, inspirational speaker, teacher, and writer.

Donna Fado Ivery's book <em>Sleep, Pray, Heal: A Path to Wholeness and Well-Being</em> is "must read" for anyone experiencing chronic pain.

As a pediatric physician, I have often wondered ... How did we get here, for so many people to get into that pit of desperation? Reverend Donna Fado Ivery's words in </p><p><em>Sleep, Pray, Heal: A Path to Wholeness and Well-Being </em>led me to see how easy and vulnerable it could be for one person to slip into the statistics of our nation's opioid crisis. Rev. Fado Ivery's story especially touched me when she spoke how despite being on pain meds, Rev. Fado Ivery could not even rock her sweet baby in her arms without being in excruciating pain.</p><p>I will definitely make an order for my Sunday School class.</p><p>You will be inspired by her true and beautiful story of triumph and unconditional love as she made her way out of the pit and was healed, and you will want to share her story.</p><p>Thanks be to God. </p><p>--Lynette Renee Grandison, MD</p><br>
