Hanging On by the Scratch Marks My Nails Left Behind (Raw Faith) by Elizabeth L. Chalker

Foreword by Pastor Charles Carrin and Dr. Corey Cameron You-one person-an individual, can literally change this whole world with love. By focusing on love, making a choice to love, feeding all that is positive, good, and of the light with exuberance and abundance instead of feeding the negative and evil things of the darkness. You can literally change the world and yourself. One relationship–one interaction–one decision at a time. If you are experiencing the dark night of the soul in affliction year after year, it will present you, as it has me, with opportunities not found in most other life circumstances. This is a life story of being in the fire, where I currently remain, where my heart for the Lord has become increasingly insatiable. A deepened intimacy has developed and continues to grow even through this very moment, and will continue beyond. As you read, this is my hope and prayer for you as well. Elizabeth Chalker is still in the furnace of life’s calamities and fighting the good fight of faith and endurance, keeping her eyes on the prize of heaven. Before serious, physical illness devastated her body, Elizabeth was on the fast track as a successful psychologist and addictions specialist, working with violent juvenile offenders and their families, near the completion of her third graduate degree. Her life is a testimony of faith that is steadfast and remains no matter the seemingly dark, unjust, and treacherous circumstances of life. She resides in Boca Raton, Florida, with her beloved “son” Symon (a Corgi/Shepherd mix dog). Elizabeth continues to minister to those in need and aspires to show God’s glory through every breath she takes. To contact the author, go to www.helpelizabeth.net

“This is no ordinary book about personal loss, crisis, physical illness, and shattered ambitions. The message here runs much deeper. What I discovered— being mirrored back to me—were my own responses to life’s disappointments. Somewhere, Elizabeth disappeared and I saw myself struggling with personal issues that needed fixing. Many were issues I did not know were there. At that point, I realized the book had a “surface” message and a deeper, heart message. As you read, allow the book to read you. Let Elizabeth’s cries of the heart and spirit uncover what is sequestered in your own heart. Let Elizabeth’s words lead you on a journey beyond her illness and life tragedies to its conclusion— where you will emerge challenged and even strangely comforted by your own life struggles, knowing that you too can have access to this pure faith, realize the bigger purpose for your life, and “come forth as gold!”

– Pastor Charles Carrin

  1. While there are many books written after a major life trial, I have never before encountered such an impacting book written while in the middle of a burning inferno that is Elizabeth Chalker’s daily life. Her remarkable faith and perseverance has impacted thousands in the Lyme Disease community, who look to her as a hero, an inspiration … and a voice.

  2. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who has had such a great impact on my life. This lady is suffering beyond anything I can imagine, but her courage, her faith, her love outdistances that of most persons. She needs our help. Read her story, listen to her story and if your heart in not touched to respond then take your temperature.

  3. Elizabeth Chalker is a beautiful soul who was put on earth soley to give Glory to God, inspire others and share the light with everyone. Elizabeth suffers with insurmountable physical pain and yet continues to lift up those around her. She shares her faith and her daily struggles with comforting words of what it takes to get through the trials and difficulties of life. Her book is a book that every single person could benefit from reading. Who doesn’t need some inspiration to keep fighting the fight sometimes? You won’t be sorry!
