The Gift of Pain: Why We Hurt and What We Can Do About It

A WORLD WITHOUT PAIN?Can such a place exist? It not only canâ‚¬â€¢it does. But itâ‚¬s no utopia. Itâ‚¬s a colony for leprosy patients: a world where people literally feel no pain, and reap horrifying consequences.His work with leprosy patients in India and the United States convinced Dr. Paul Brand that pain truly is one of Godâ‚¬s great gifts to us. In this inspiring story of his fifty-year career as a healer, Dr. Brand probes the mystery of pain and reveals its importance. As an indicator that lets us know something is wrong, pain has a value that becomes clearest in its absence.The Gift of Pain looks at what pain is and why we need it. Together, the renowned surgeon and award-winning writer Philip Yancey shed fresh light on a gift that none of us want and none of us can do without.
