‘When Skies Aren’t Blue: A Physician’s Personal Journey’ Book Review
I am excited to share a book that I jumped at the chance to read titled When Skies Aren’t Blue by Dr. Andy Laurie. The title is pretty self explanatory in all honesty and this is a question that many of us will find ourselves asking at one point or another during our lifetimes. I can honestly relate to this myself in terms of my own life experiences as of late, which is why I wanted to share this powerful read. Think about it…there are many struggles we will all endure throughout our lifetimes. Think ongoing health issues, suppression, anxiety, relationship issues, financial issues & on and on I can go. Simply put…. life is not always rainbows & sunshine but rather……those dark storm clouds can roll in at anytime & you have to know how to handle it. This is where the incredible book from Dr. Andy Laurie come in & it’s titled…. When Skies Aren’t Blue: A Physicians Personal Journey. This book is all about personal experiences of Dr. Laurie’s and you can read more about it below….
First…. let me tell you a bit about the author Andy Laurie, MD & why I jumped at the chance to check out this powerful book. Dr. Laurie had a seemingly perfect life, including having a successful medical practice all the while starting a second career as a pastor. He was young & healthy & had a beautiful wife and family. To him…. his life could not have been better as it was nothing but blue skies. That is….. until the unthinkable hit. DR. Laurie was struck with a devastating illness that changed his life forever…. and the skies that were once clear & bright now became dark, very dark.
Does this sound relatable to you? Well I have to stress that I fell in love with this book as I can relate whole heartedly. I found that reading all about Dr. Laurie’s own story helped me to take a deeper look into my own struggles. In this book you will learn all about Dr. Laurie’s struggles of battling illness for nearly two decades and now he is bravely sharing his story with us all. Relying on nearly thirty years of medical practice & over twenty years in the ministry, Dr.Laurie has come up with the perfect antidote for you to find hope, strength, contentment, joy, & even victory when the struggles of life have darkened your blue skies.
I highly recommend this Faith Building Resource as it is one not to be missed. I can see myself rereading this book over and over again and I highly suggest you grab your own copy of When Skies Aren’t Blue: A Physicians Journey today!
