Christian Living
Life’s a Pain! But God has treasures to impart through it. As a pastor who suffers from chronic pain himself, Todd Rettberg knows what it can do to people and families. With straight talk, humor and compassion, he shows Christians how to find God in the midst of suffering.
My Review:
I have chronic back pain and leg pain. I could definitely relate to this book. Todd is a Pastor that lives with chronic pain as well. He has suffered from migraines ever since he was a youngster. He has a way of writing that got me to thinking about my faith. He also mentioned parts of the Bible that say humans will be in pain. It all started with Adam and Eve.
Todd also gives examples of people that live with every day chronic pain, but they have overcome the pain to live amazing lives. The book gives a lot of examples to back up what Todd is saying. I liked the way Todd explained what he was saying as well. He just didn't say other people have pain.. He took the time explain it and give Biblical and every day examples.
The end of the book discusses how we can try to live a less painful life, through God. The book also goes into detail about how God would not give us anything we could not handle. Every person is unique and deals with pain differently. Thus when God made us, he made us with the type of pain that only we can overcome. I am giving this book a 4/5.
