"Where there is blockage, there is pain." What if the same is true of the heart?
Everyone knows pain, both the pain of the body and the deeper wounds of the soul. Chinese medicine explains pain with a simple principle: when the flow of qi and blood is blocked, pain follows, and healing comes through restoring harmony. The Bible looks at the roots of our deepest suffering and offers a different kind of healing: forgiveness and reconciliation.
Pain & Forgiveness places these two paths of healing side by side. Drawing on the Huangdi Neijing (The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) and the Bible, it asks a question that matters to every one of us: what does true healing really mean?
Inside, you will discover:
- Why Chinese medicine understands pain as blocked flow, and what it means to restore harmony
- How the Bible understands the roots of human suffering
- Why forgiveness is a path toward healing for the whole person
- How body and soul are connected in the experience of pain and recovery
This book is for anyone carrying pain in body or heart, Christians seeking to understand forgiveness more deeply, and caregivers, counselors, and practitioners who walk with people who suffer.
