Write it all down.
The day Lisa Bain’s mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she said these words to her daughter.
Lisa took her mother’s advice and picked up her pen at the beginning of a frightening health crisis. She discovered that God was faithful to give her words that were not only a comfort to her, but many others. She continued writing through both dark and bright times, realizing God had something to reveal at every turn in the road.
Lisa writes authentically about Faith Walking, Hard Seasons, Joy Jumps, Dog Days, a Cancer Journey, Grateful Moments, Comfort Food, Family Blessings, and Love Lessons. Perspective is the key. We can choose to either learn from the pain, or let it defeat us. Feel the rain, or just get wet. In these writings, Lisa invites us into her life, introducing us to a whole new way of thinking about how we walk through our days, and our decades.
Mabel and the Big Paws
Mabel and the Big Paws is Lisa's first book for children, featuring her beloved therapy pets.
In this story, Mabel has finished her therapy pet training, but will she be as good as her big sister Mavis? She has some big paw prints to fill, and Mabel needs some encouragement from a few furry friends.
A perfect gift for dog lovers and proponents of pet therapy, Mabel and the Big Paws will hopefully be the first of many books for children.
Feel the Rain
Feel the Rain: Stories of Divine Detours and Dancing In the Storms is a compilation of stories from over a decade of writing. At the start of a health crisis journey, Lisa’s mom told her to “Write it all down,” so she did. From Joy Jumps and Comfort Food to Dog Days and Grateful Moments, this book challenges us to believe that God has something to reveal at every turn in the road. Lisa shares with readers what we can discover if we’re willing to turn our face to the clouds and feel the rain.
What Readers are Saying About Feel the Rain
I really was touched by the short stories. Lisa has such a unique way of telling stories, this book touched my heart and soul. A sweet reminder that we are all battling something. And how things seem so out of control, but yet in control. Gods grace and timing can never be forced. There is a purpose in everything we go through in life either to help us or help others. And this collection of stories reminded me of that very fact.

Throughout these pages, I was reminded that through trials and pain God’s love and purpose emerge. I love and appreciate the outpouring and honest journey Lisa has documented and shared. God entrusted her with a beautiful ministry, and she has been careful in seeking God's will through it all. This has inspired me, as I continue to pray about the stirring in my own soul.

This book is such a powerful inspiration. Life isn’t always good and full of laughs. Yet, this book encourages you to feel and embrace all the emotions that come to the surface when life is less than good and you have nothing to laugh about. Nevertheless, it encouraged me through the valleys and the trials to continue seeking God and his will and to never lose hope or faith.

Lisa shares through personal memoirs her incredible faith of how to walk through the trials of life with hope, tears, laughter and grace. A storm brings winds and rain, but its purpose is to cleanse and renew. When you need an encouraging word, this is a wonderful book to keep nearby as a gentle reminder that you are never alone and you can see the storm through.

Knowing Lisa and her family personally made this book a special read. I shed a few tears and would have whether I knew them or not. This is a very special read and a very good read. I actually read through it first because I didn't want to put it down. Now I plan to go back and use her study book questions. If you are currently in a bad spot or have been or even know someone that is this book is most definitely one you need to read. If you want to read an uplifting book - this book is for you. This book is for everyone.
