Summary of K.J. Ramsey's This Too Shall Last - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was sick enough to be sent to several specialists, but no one could find the cause of my pain. The doctor finally said my bloodwork came back negative, which I found more disappointing than comforting. I was then told my symptoms were probably psychosomatic. #2 When we feel pain, our bodies instinctively pulse to protect themselves, and we struggle to do much else as our brains focus their energy and attention on survival.
We feel less like ourselves and less connected to others when in pain, because pain itself prompts a sensation of internal disintegration. #3 In the Western culture, effort produces success. With enough foresight and determination, we can create a life with minimal pain and maximum pleasure. We are proprietors of possibility, doorkeepers of our own bright futures. #4 The story of our culture is that suffering is the result of individual failure, and the loss that compelled you to pick up this book was most likely the result of poor choices.
But within the bigger story of God and his good, loved creation, you can find your pain has a place.
