The Road We Travel: Stories for Those Who Live with Pain Chronic pain changes everything. It rearranges your days, your relationships, and sometimes your sense of who you are. The Road We Travel was written for anyone walking that road. In this short, warm collection, award-winning author and pastor Ken Jones shares seven brief, honest stories, from a kitchen disaster involving homemade noodles to a meditation on Hagar's discovery that God is "the God who sees me." Each story is paired with a personal reflection from physician Dr. Eric Williams, who has spent his career walking alongside patients in pain. Together they offer something rare: a book that takes suffering seriously without minimizing it, and that points toward hope without demanding agreement. Faith runs through every page, quietly and honestly, but the invitation is always to be seen, not to be converted.
Written for patients, caregivers, and anyone who has ever felt like pain moved in and never left, The Road We Travel is a companion for the harder days, small enough to read in one sitting, and true enough to return to again.
