Jessica Rogers

A faith-centred journey through crisis, resilience, and the quiet work of rebuilding hope. When Jessica Rogers's son was diagnosed with a life-threatening condition, her carefully ordered world was suddenly upended. Set against the backdrop of uncertainty, fear, and the emotional weight of a global pandemic, Healing & Hopeful traces a mother's journey through shock, grief, and the slow, often unseen work of healing. This is not a story of denial or easy answers. With honesty and vulnerability, Rogers reflects on what it means to live with unanswered prayers, to sit with pain rather than rush past it, and to discover that faith can coexist with fear. Blending memoir with practical reflection, she explores how prayer, journaling, gratitude, and intentional self-care became steady companions through the hardest seasons. Written for those navigating illness, loss, or unexpected change, Healing & Hopeful offers thoughtful insight and gentle guidance for moving forward with courage and clarity. It speaks to readers who are strong on the outside but quietly carrying heavy burdens, inviting them to re-imagine resilience not as endurance alone, but as openness, connection, and trust. Healing & Hopeful is an invitation to see setbacks not as endings, but as stepping stones toward renewal, faith, and a deeper, more compassionate way of living.

A fascinating collection of merged historic and modern images that reflect the changes in Ironbridge Gorge through the decades.
