Synopsis

Hope for When the Pain Won't Quit

Everyone experiences pain at times. It can manifest physically, emotionally, relationally, or spiritually. It can follow tragic accidents, great loss, sudden betrayal, or unexpected and unwanted change. Often it is temporary. But what do you do when it isn't? When the pain just won't go away, when healing does not come, when the grief and hurt settle in?

Drawing on her own experience of chronic pain and her years as a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist, Dr. Michelle Bengtson provides a countercultural perspective on pain. Offering hope without any false promises or empty platitudes, Dr. Bengtson unwraps the complex emotional aspects of dealing with pain. She gives you permission to question God, helps you identify the lies you've believed about your pain, and reorients your perception based on the truth of God's Word. Each chapter ends with a recommended playlist, reflection questions, and a prayer.

Your pain may not change, but your experience of it can.

The Hem of His Garment by Dr. Michelle Bengtson was an inspiration.

Goodreads review by Isabelle reads a book a day because she has no friends

It’s a good thing I listened to this on audio, because I wouldn’t have been able to see the pages through my tears. Just like ‘Breaking Anxiety’s Grip,’ this was exactly the comfort I needed. I feel very heartened that this touches on physical chronic pain and not just emotions.......more
