Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're going to have a life worth living, you're going to have to walk through some pain... I wrote this book for YOU, the hopeless one in a hotel room who wants to end your life. I wrote this for YOU, the drug addict that wants to give up because you can't overcome the addictions. I wrote this for YOU, the one who thinks the world is out to get you because of the life you were handed. Rejection, addiction, emptiness, brokenness, and hopelessness can destroy our lives. I know this because I was broken beyond hope, but today I am victorious! this is my journey from meth to ministry. If God can transform a life like mine, He can do it for you no matter what your story is. You just have to surrender. You have to choose to trust in the midst of the pain. I am crazy enough to believe that by you reading this book, God can grab ahold of your heart and remind you that you are loved, valued and believed in. I believe that you will start to see that God has a plan and your story isn't over. It is just about to start. If He did it for me, He can do it for you. It is my prayer that one day you too will be able to say. "It is worth the pain." And I promise, the life God has for you, it is Worth the Pain

Download or read book The Life Worth Living written by Joel Michael Reynolds and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A philosophical challenge to the ableist conflation of disability and pain More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle said: “let there be a law that no deformed child shall live.” This idea is alive and well today. During the past century, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. argued that the United States can forcibly sterilize intellectually disabled women and philosopher Peter Singer argued for the right of parents to euthanize certain cognitively disabled infants. The Life Worth Living explores how and why such arguments persist by investigating the exclusion of and discrimination against disabled people across the history of Western moral philosophy. Joel Michael Reynolds argues that this history demonstrates a fundamental mischaracterization of the meaning of disability, thanks to the conflation of lived experiences of disability with those of pain and suffering. Building on decades of activism and scholarship in the field, Reynolds shows how longstanding views of disability are misguided and unjust, and he lays out a vision of what an anti-ableist moral future requires. The Life Worth Living is the first sustained examination of disability through the lens of the history of moral philosophy and phenomenology, and it demonstrates how lived experiences of disability demand a far richer account of human flourishing, embodiment, community, and politics in philosophical inquiry and beyond.

Download or read book Pain and Its Transformations written by Sarah Coakley and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain is immediate and searing but remains a deep mystery for sufferers, their physicians, and researchers. As neuroscientific research shows, even the immediate sensation of pain is shaped by psychological state and interpretation. At the same time, many individuals and cultures find meaning, particularly religious meaning, even in chronic and inexplicable pain. This ambitious interdisciplinary book includes not only essays but also discussions among a wide range of specialists. Neuroscientists, psychiatrists, anthropologists, musicologists, and scholars of religion examine the ways that meditation, music, prayer, and ritual can mediate pain, offer a narrative that transcends the sufferer, and give public dignity to private agony. They discuss topics as disparate as the molecular basis of pain, the controversial status of gate control theory, the possible links between the relaxation response and meditative practices in Christianity and Buddhism, and the mediation of pain and intense emotion in music, dance, and ritual. The authors conclude by pondering the place of pain in understanding--or the human failure to understand--good and evil in history.

Drawing on his years of experience and the inspirational stories of others, he explores: - What a difference it makes to be heard - Why pain is much more than a symptom of disease - The benefits and risks of opioid prescriptions - How cultural attitudes toward pain affect us - The role of a caregiver in the journey of pain and recovery - How, even in the worst pain situations, you can have a fulfilling life The Painful Truth offers a path toward awareness, hope, and healing.

Download or read book The Song of Our Scars written by Haider Warraich and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Song of Our Scars, physician Haider Warraich offers a bold re-examination of the nature of pain not as a simple physical sensation, but as a social and cultural experience. Warraich, who himself has lived with chronic pain, considers the ways in which our notions of pain have been shaped, not just by science but by politics and power, race and gender, by whose suffering has mattered and whose hasn't. He weaves a provocative history that carries us from medieval prohibitions on pain relief during childbirth to racist theories of pain tolerance to the opiate epidemics of both the nineteenth and the twenty-first centuries. He reveals that pain often carried a spiritual dimension, erased by modern biomedicine. Today, he writes, patients with chronic pain not only suffer with no end in sight, but are stigmatized and delegitimized by the health system. The conclusion is clear: Only by reckoning with pain's complicated history alongside its intricate biology can we truly begin to alleviate suffering. The Song of Our Scars is an indictment of a broken system and a plea for a more holistic understanding of the human body.
