Penning Patience

Do you feel forgotten?

Forgotten by your family and friends? Your hometown or country? Maybe even by God or love?

Author Justin Israel understands. After his military service in the US Air Force, he became a contractor working in Iraq and Afghanistan as a firefighter. Then he came back home yet these high-risk jobs took a toll, and Israel didn't feel supported, personally or in the bigger picture. He suffered from PTSD, and watching society strain under political in-fighting didn't help.

What started as a coping strategy-writing about his experiences and feelings-has become a book, Penning Patience, that Israel hopes will help others remember that you have not been forgotten, no matter how dark it may seem because through the Lord, you too can overcome any tribulation.
