About this ebook
The prayers of all the major religions all offer the same resolve: if the patient will just believe, be still, and be faithful, they will receive the gift of love, peace, and healing. Does the inspiration in Inspire Me come from its ninety-one-year old author or the patients she counsels on her rounds? The wisdom from the author not only comes from age but life experience, since she ministered to her own son who suffered with leukemia in the 1960s. As a mother, Lulu knows firsthand the emotions of the sick and their families.
Inspire Me is a walk down the halls of any hospital and into the hearts of the patients behind the doors. Lulu tells her stories of despair, hope, love, faith, and healing through the eyes of the patients she visits as a healing minister. A story for patients and caregivers alike, searching for inspiration through a trying time.
LuLu Finamore
I felt compelled to write this book about love and peace, to tell the stories the patients present to their love ones, and the response of how the loved ones react. When my son, Michael, was a leukemia victim, he tried very hard not to react to the serious effect the various drugs had on him. I tried not to show my concern but showed all the love I could muster up for him. When he was twenty-one, we were sure Michael was cured. Our message is, “Never give up, never give in, try harder. The harder you try, the better your chance.”
