Chronic Pain (Booklet) by Michael R Emlet

Chronic pain is different from other kinds of physical pain because it doesn’t stop. It is daily, unrelenting, soul–wearying pain for which there is no end in sight.Can you still experience God’s grace and help even in the midst of never ending pain? Michael R. Emlet, physician and counselor, includes a brief overview of the physiological aspects of pain and then goes on to outline a God–shaped perspective on chronic pain. When you turn to God, your pain may not disappear, but fear, anxiety, and despair can be replaced with a simple trust in God’s understanding, care, and love.

Chronic Pain

A really good and easy to read booklet, which takes a gospel approach to the topic. It shows a real understanding of the experience of someone in chronic pain, without generalising for all who suffer in this way. It looks at the topic from a good biblical standpoint that understands that suffering does not run counter to the gospel, but is part and parcel of the experience of the people of God.
