Our world has become a place where the shallow swim is much preferred over a life of substance, depth, true service. When did a message of power; provoking of buried emotion, thought, reflection within…and compassion for another, become less than the ultimate desire? To be e
xchanged for skating through effortlessly with no cesspools of accountability, raw self-reflection, or emotional integrity stirred? Seems the general population prefers to skate on the thin ice of topical life rather than see the veracity of depth within. We deem the best movies, books, and lives, those which provide a quick moment of bliss over those which provoke emotion, thought, and most important of all…a call within to change. To change for the better, to change us towards vulnerability with others in all honesty of what’s within. To change towards the stir within we are called to when a powerful testimony is shared; to then serve at the provoking of such emotion, to do something within our own selves to be better, to be more giving and loving…to then share the like with others.
We see the shallow swim as the one to win the award while the powerful messages are glossed over, covered and given labels such as “too intense, taking too long to process, causing pause…” in a world where the immediate supersedes veracity of character and integrity. When something takes time to process, we toss it aside in order to move on with our busy lives. Taking time to pause is somehow deemed a negative. How is anything encompassing of true meaning in such a world?
Even our Savior, Jesus Christ, took time every day to pause, to reflect, to listen.
The question: what are we afraid of? What is worse, living in a reality of no accountability, no responsibility, no depth of character, ethics, integrity, true service and therefore love? Or, processing through the raw truth of every part of who we are and what we have to offer? When we deny such, we deny the unity of the world that is ours for the receiving. We deny the very characteristics of what defines us as human, which makes us relatable to each other and bonds us together in love. When we replace substance and humility with momentary bliss and amplify the fleeting that merely makes us feel good for a moment, we all lose. We lose love, we lose service, we lose connection, we lose healing; we lose blessings that God is waiting to extend. We lose who we truly are, all of who we are, all of what we have to give and are called to receive.
The world then becomes gray while the brilliant colors that are available to each and all, are submerged underneath the thick cloud of what we believe is protection. The authentic life is missed and the depth of blessings is never known or met, extended or received. The unity we trade for avoidance of honest, raw emotion and truth, makes us empty shells at best and arrogant, prideful, uncaring possibilities of what could have been. We therefore, walk around with no true purpose or meaning…as a vapor of what we were created to be and to extend, for the advancement of His kingdom and for His glory…and ultimately, for our best.
His excellence that is within each that He created becomes a distance speck on our hearts that is covered over by thick darkness so we can avoid pain. At least we convince ourselves that not facing all of who we are, in the raw honestly of who we are, spares us from suffering. What futile and vast energy it takes to keep the very things that unite us all, in the dark so we can have a superficial smile and ‘feel good’. Do we really? Honestly?
Does the wood of a fire not sing when the match ignites it? How much more exquisite our song should we yield to our own pruning and vibrant growth to follow.

NEW Review of Elizabeth Chalker's book:
Hanging on by the Scratch Marks My Nails Left Behind (Raw Faith)
5.0 out of 5 stars
"Real life more grippiing than fiction, 9 Sep 2012
By Yvonne Pat Wright (Milton Keynes, United Kingdom)
I read this book with a box of tissues beside me. The tears were not for Elizabeth who has written her story in real time. They were for me, as my sorry superficial life paled in the light of her life that revealed what living for the glory of God really means. How does one suffering from Lyme Disease causing, a slow death, causing non-stop pain and agony get the discipline, the determination and the courage to focus, not on the devastation taking place in her body, but brings that body under subjection and pens a stirring story about the greatest love of her life?
I have not stopped asking myself that question since I read this amazing book. It's not like any other book you will read. Indeed, Elizabeth is not the first person to go through excruciating pain and suffering. In most cases the stories end. This story does not end. Elizabeth, though she prays, no pleads with her Lord for healing and deliverance, has not been healed, nor been delivered, but her faith still holds on to the Christ of Calvary.
This is a remarkable book by a remarkable writer and deserves to be read by those who suffer as she does from chronic illness, but also by those whose lives are a romp in the park by comparison, if only to gain perspective. It is well written. I believe it should find its way to the ranks of best sellers. It would make an excellent documentary of courage, hope and inspiration."

Hanging on By the Scratch Marks My Nails Left Behind (Raw Faith)
Xulon Press ©2010
"Elizabeth Chalker suffers from late stage lyme disease, probably fatal, offering nothing but a slow, agonizing death. Lyme disease is complicated and compounded by other serious hea
lth issues that have left her bedridden and mostly alone. In this roaring furnace where she experiences daily frustration, unbearable pain, and, like Job, unjustifiable suffering, she has found the way to walk with unbound faith and trust in God.
In her book, I was at first witness, but soon became her companion, experiencing through my own chronic pain such wonder at her passionate love and unquenchable thirst for God. I have lived eighteen years with chronic pain. At times, her cries to God for deliverance were so intense I had to stop reading.
The book had somehow become not only Chalker’s story, but mine, as well. I had to stand in awe like King Nebuchadnezzar, “It is my privilege to report to you the gracious miracles that the High God has done for me. His miracles are staggering, his wonders are surprising, His kingdom lasts and lasts, his sovereign rule goes on forever.” *
If you are hurting, crying out in anger or fear, or if you know someone who seems to be weighed down with their hurts and their needs, Hanging on by the Scratch Marks My Nails Left Behind has a place on your shelf beside C. S. Lewis’s The Problem of Pain and Philip Yancey’s Where Is God When It Hurts? It is a terrible, dark place that can only be lit by God's grace in all the ways it comes."

each individual is precisely where he/she is purposed to be for this moment. life is a journey, we learn, grow, develop within each moment of the road we travel. embrace where each individual is, while embracing yourself where you are. embrace all of yourself and all of others, not just the 'good'...especially the parts we see as 'bad'... such is where the veracity of love resides.
stop fighting and attempting to make everyone be where you are. our journeys are individual and universal, that the picture of love be complete and absolute.

Recent Reviews of Elizabeth Chalker's God inspired book:
PHYLLIS HARDIN writes: "All through the ages philosophers and theologians have tried to understand the role of suffering in our world. Especially troublesome is the occurrence of undeserved suffering expressed in the thought, “Why do bad things happen to good people?”
In her book, Hanging On by the Scratch Marks My Nails Left Behind: Raw Faith, Elizabeth Chalker bypasses any philosophical discussion of suffering and instead lays bare her very personal and intimate experiences of unimaginable suffering. She opens a window through which the reader can catch a glimpse of what it is like to cling to God with raw, tenacious faith when all else is gone and to find that He is enough.
This book will bless you and inspire you on your own spiritual journey. Try it!"
________________________________________________________________________
GABRIEL CAMERON: "Elizabeth shares her tragic yet beautifully inspiring life story thus far, of how she went from a highly successful woman who seemingly had it all, to being bedridden with a disease (Lyme) that most doctors don't even take seriously. Part of what makes her story so inspiring is the fact that even through all her pain and strife, her soul is still set on inspiring others. Elizabeth's hope and perseverance are derived from her unwavering christian faith; through it all her faith is what carries her onward.
As a reader, what makes her story more compelling personally is that she is able to communicate her faith in a way that is universal, thus transcending religion and delivering her messages and lessons from a place of higher awareness. As a highly spiritual but non-religious person, I find that the writings in this book are truly transcendent lessons in getting closer to God; regardless of what name(s) you choose to call your God(s) by. All in all, Elizabeth pushes aside the pain and gets to the Heart of Life with 'Hanging On'."
________________________________________________________________________
TAMMY HILDEBRAND: "Elizabeth Chalker is a beautiful soul who was put on earth soley to give Glory to God, inspire others and share the light with everyone. Elizabeth suffers with insurmountable physical pain and yet continues to lift up those around her. She shares her faith and her daily struggles with comforting words of what it takes to get through the trials and difficulties of life. This is a book that every single person could benefit from reading. Who doesn't need some inspiration to keep fighting the fight sometimes? You won't be sorry!"
______________________________________________________________
ANGELA A. CASTLE: "This has to be the best book I've read! I highly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with life's issues, it is full of hope, faith, and so inspiring! Very eye-opening, a great reminder of the many blessings we have in life even when we struggle with illness, finances, relationships, etc. This book will motivate you, help you build your faith, and inspire you in so many ways. Highly recommend!!"

LISA HILTON: "I just want to recommend this book to anyone who is going through a hard time and trying to hold onto hope. Elizabeth's faith and pure strength even in the face of the obstacles she's up against will inspire you to hold on also."
___________________________________________
MELISSA KOSHEN: "Powerful and amazing! This book is written from Elizabeth's heart and soul. As she conquers her daily struggles, her undying hope and conviction are inspirational and uplifting. She is a role model of faith and her words will have you embracing the life that was chosen for you."
_______________________________________________________________
LEIGH WILLIAMS: "Elizabeth, I am not yet totally finished with your book but I am close. I wanted to tell you how touched I am by your courage. You put so much of your deeply personal issues out there for everyone else to see and I think that is very admirable. I think the title RAW FAITH is exactly what you are showing to us.
I have already cried quite a few times because your writing takes me through my own personal connection with God. I share the Lyme with you and I would not wish it on anyone. Sometimes the medical system fails us and ignores us, and it is them that you need to hang on by your fingernails.
Jesus is with you Elizabeth and I know he will not let you suffer forever. Thank you for writing such a beautiful and honest book and sharing such a deep part of yourself with all of us.
For anyone who feels like they are losing hope, being ignored, feeling abandoned or alone, read this book. You will discover that courage and love is right at your fingertips. Love will lead the way, and please let there be a cure for Lyme disease. Bless you."
________________________________________________________________________ LINDA HOWARD: "Just received the book and am reading it. So far I can say that while being in the deepest pit-Elizabeth still honors God with her gift of encouragement to others and retains her complete trust in GOD. Order a copy today and help yourself go deeper into your relationship with God while also helping Elizabeth. Blessings to you."
_______________________________________________________ T. BARRICK: "Raw faith records a journey of faith, passion, pain, and perseverance. Elizabeth reminds the reader in every page to take time to experience the small miracles so often taken for granted. Pick up this book and be humbled, inspired and enlightened."
________________________________________________________________________
NORMAN SCHLAACK: "I have a hard time believing that I could go through what Elizabeth is going through. She is courageous beyond words, and yet her faith keeps her going even though she does question it at times. How could you not? Even with the hell she is living every day, she has committed herself to her faith. I admire her for that. You will too after reading this motivating book. You will see things differently. It will make you review your life and will make you realize what is important. It will help you realize what you have today is a gift, and why they call it the present."
