God's Grace to Thrive with Chronic Pain

God’s Grace to Thrive with Chronic Pain is not a how-to book with strategies to lessen or end our pain. Rather it shows us how not to get tangled in pain’s downward spiral into self-pity, despair, hopelessness, and misery. Barbara L. Scott speaks from her weakness: “I've prayed, fasted, and asked God for healing every day for more than six years. . .but I’ve also whined, begged, and nagged at God like a little child.” She describes chronic pain as “a monster that gains strength” the more we dwell on it until literally, we are captives. She is unashamed to expose her own wounds to help others survive – and thrive! “Many godly people have laid hands on me, anointed me with oil, and my husband has faithfully petitioned God on my behalf,” Scott says. However, like many of us, she continues to ask, “Why hasn't God chosen to heal me?” Part of the answer may be found in the journey she describes in God’s Grace to Thrive with Chronic Pain.
