Learning Sickness A Year With Crohns Disease

There are many books about illness, but very few writers convey the courage and hope of battling a chronic illness as eloquently as Jim Lang. Learning Sickness is the compelling narrative of Jim's battle with Crohn's Disease. Diagnosed at the age of 26, Jim spent the next five years coming to terms with how to live with a chronic illness. During that time he fathered two children, earned a Ph.D., accepted his first teaching position, and launched a writing career. Jim Lang provides an absolutely unflinching look at the way the disease can penetrate into every aspect of a person's life: physical, emotional, and spiritual. He tackles the most sensitive areas of the disease with grace and skill, and wraps it all into a gripping narrative of illness and recovery that demonstrates how suffering can produce a special kind of wisdom.Lang, James M. is the author of 'Learning Sickness A Year With Crohns Disease', published 2005 under ISBN 9781933102016 and ISBN 1933102012.
