You can either remain stuck in your anguish, or you can discover the path to break the shackles of hopelessness. You have a CHOICE! Become Part of Transformational Change despite Your Pain. Gordon, once a Doctor of Chiropractic, entered into the world of chronic pain in 1993. After having (4) neck surgeries, CRPS (formerly known as RSD), and still contending with a long-lasting host of other system breakdowns, such as reoccurring kidney stones and rheumatoid arthritis, he has courageously traveled through the myriad of dark spaces about chronic suffering and provides some exceptional recommendations. Likewise, Cherise has her own story to share with those spouses of chronic sufferers who have lost their voices. She knows all too well the heavy burden that is placed upon the family. Her insights are invaluable about climbing out of a pit of hopelessness and sharing how to walk through the doorways of transformational change.

When Wayne Gordon and his wife started a Bible study for high school kids in North Lawndale, Chicago, people warned them that a white couple moving into a black neighborhood as a recipe for disaster. That was twenty-five years ago. Today, what began as the Gordons' seedling Bible study has become the Lawndale Community Church. It has a staff of 150, has renovated more than 100 local apartments, has helped more than 50 young people graduate from college, runs a medical clinic that treated 50,000 patients in 1994, and has become a vital part of rebuilding an inner-city neighborhood into a community of faith and hope. Real Hope in Chicago is Wayne Gordon's inspiring account of how people, white and black, rich and poor, old and young, worked together to transform a decaying neighborhood into a place where love is lived out in practical and miraculous ways. It offers an exciting model for interracial cooperation, urban-suburban church partnering--and real hope for the inner cities of our nation.

In my minds eye, a little girl crouches in a dark and cluttered hallway closet. Mountains of stuff fill this tiny room, where she remains hidden from everyone and everything. Besides the stuff of anger and doubt in this small space, the walls have writing on them that names the fears, insecurities, and reasons for shielding herself from the unfamiliar and the unknown. Many times, the little girl tries to exit her safe place. With a mask of self-prescribed extroversion, she determinedly leaves the four walls of her secret domain to be good at things and peoplea good student, wife, even a mother. Hesitantly, she tells herself that hope and joy are within reach. But after a short stay away from the security of the hallway closet, the little girl goes back inside and continues hiding from life. I was that young girl. I did not want to live this way any longer, so I cried out to Godwho had been with me all along. He knew my pain, insecurities, anger, and fear. Bigger than any wall of self-protection I built, God would bring down these walls if I let him. My crying out was the first step.
