Carved Dove is Perfect Comfort Gift

This beautiful hand-carved dove is one of the newest items we have added to our Comfort Zone Bookstore.

It is the design of Kathy Myers Nave who has lived with multiple sclerosis.

The dove is similar to the much-loved Clinging Cross. One holds it in his or her hand; even for those who have hands that are somewhat deformed (like our director Lisa Copen) it still works with ease. It’s a wonderful way to feel God’s peace when praying or for those times one does not know when to pray.

It comes packaged in a sheer lavender gift bag and then that is in a clear plastic triangle-shaped box, ready to give as a gift. It would be a great item for those who are support group leaders, elders, parish nurses, etc. to have on hand. It would be a nice gift to leave behind with someone when doing a hospital visitation or home visit to someone who is chronically ill.

Artist Kathy Myers Nave has carved over 450 originals since she began her work in 1989. Her studio is located in the hills of southern Indiana, where her husband and three children don’t seem to mind the wood chips.

A Woman’s Health Resource Journal Keeps You Organized

When Lisa, founder of Rest Ministries, found herself overwhelmed with the paperwork to manage her rheumatoid arthritis she started looking for a medical rec0rd-keeper to contain all of the information and keep her organized. That was in 1998. Since then, though many health record-keepers have been developed, few are as thorough and we can’t find any specifically for the chronically ill patient.

A video explaining A Woman’s Health Resource Journal. This 216-page, 3-ring-binder that is a compact 5.5 x 8.5 has forms for everything from prescription refills to phone numbers for all of your contacts, and includes hundreds of resource links to help you stay well-informed of your health care (and fight some of those battles, for example, with insurance companies.)

Plus, it comes with free access to the online copy so all the links are clickable and you can print out unlimited forms to reuse your journal indefinitely.
