Pain
Ebook
Pain tells the story of personal experience with severe depression and of redemption from that suffering, alongside a biblical explanation of the meaning of pain. It explores what the book of Job, the gospel of Jesus, and the life of the church tell us about why pain exists, and finally provides the solution of our loving Father: in the sacrifice at the cross, our sanctification, and the kingdom of God. It is a book of hope, seeing God's kingdom existing with us now--a kingdom that has already radically changed the world, will grow, and will win in the end. This is interwoven with the author's personal experience, his coming to faith, and his growth as a new believer, and ends with the purpose he sees for many years of pain in his life, as the book ends with God revealing his purpose for everyone. Each section is abundant with Scripture to explain Christian theological truths, ones that are challenging, but demand a humble acceptance of God's rule over creation.
