Life isn’t a box of candy, it’s a puzzle—lots of pieces and lots of confusion, but it doesn’t have to be that way. If we do life with God, we can create a beautiful picture. In 2012, I was diagnosed with bilateral brain tumors as a result of Neurofibromatosis Type 2, a genetic condition. It’s been a difficult journey, but God has been and continues to be my strength and my comfort and has proven his faithfulness again and again. In Devotions from Puzzle House I share some of the pieces that have helped me create my life puzzle.

Life isn't a box of candy—it's a puzzle! Rachel Summers is all about Rachel Summers...until the day she crashes headlong into a semi-truck. As her life hangs in the balance, she has a visitor who asks a very simple question. Does she want to be healed or to be a healer? She makes her choice, but the journey doesn't go quite the way she expected. And so Rachel now runs The Puzzle House. Every guest is different and yet the same. They all come to the Puzzle House for one reason and one reason only—to be healed. Sometimes they receive their miracle, and sometimes they discover there's more than one kind of healing. Nia is a fifteen-year-old African-American girl who is dying. The doctors have told her there is nothing else to be done. No more treatments. No more hope. No more life. And she's angry about that. Very angry. Against her wishes, Nia's aunt brings her to The Puzzle House. Together, Nia and Rachel will take a journey that will change both their lives.

There comes a moment in every Christian's life when he must decide if his faith is real—or not. For Nia Johnson-Simpson that time is now. Nia has prepared for this moment for years. It's time for her to step into her role as the next spiritual leader at Puzzle House. The plan is for her to work side-by-side with her new husband, but things don't go as planned. As Nia struggles with these unforeseen changes, she must decide what she truly believes...and what she's willing to give up to continue God's work.
