Spiritual Pain

This is not your ordinary pain management book. It's a voyage into the depths of your soul's history, uncovering the spiritual roots of physical discomfort that traditional medicine often overlooks.

Shame controls far too many of us. But look at Jesus through the lens of shame, and see how the marginalized and worthless are his favorites and become his people. God cares for the shamed. Through Jesus you are covered, adopted, cleansed, and healed.

You'll learn that through faith there is nothing to be ashamed about, and you should celebrate your differences.

It's unnerving, isn't it? When our faith feels ungrounded, untethered . . . unreal.

In fact, the night is necessary. Revered author, speaker, and mentor Dr. Alicia Britt Chole offers a groundbreaking perspective that reveals spiritual disillusionment as an unexpected friend.

With a combination of spiritual practices pulled from various modalities and paths, Heal Your Neck Issues and Let Your Throat Chakra Shine is designed for people who want to make some serious changes and are ready to commit to themselves and move forward.

I have overcome the world” (NIV). In Blessed in the Mess, beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer shows us how to be blessed in the midst of life’s most challenging circumstances.
