More Than an Aspirin: A Christian Perspective on Pain and Suffering - Tapa blanda

GOOD NEWS ABOUT BAD NEWS! Life inevitably brings times of loss and pain—often unfairly, often without warning. As members of the walking wounded, we may try to hide the pain that is brutally present in our lives. But despite our best efforts, we cannot run away from the suffering that, at times, seems overwhelming. More Than an Aspirin is a book of good news about bad news. The bad news is, of course, that we will experience pain. The good news is that by His grace, God can redeem our pain and lead us on a journey into joy and maturity. But how do we make that happen? More Than an Aspirin helps you achieve good results form life’s bad times. Drawing from years of counseling experience, Dr. Hubbard explains that effective stewardship of our pain requires both adopting a God’s-eye view of our circumstances and developing practical life skills. She shows you how redemptive management of pain can lead you to a deeper relationship with God and new kinship and community within the body of Christ. It is on life’s journey through pain, Dr. Hubbard explains, that “we can come to know Christ, the power of His resurrection, the fellowship of His suffering, and in this knowing, become like Him. It is a prospect to strengthen the weariest pilgrim, worn with the worst pain.”
