The Maladies of Pain

In 1993, Paul Brand and Phillip Yancey wrote about the importance of pain in a book entitled, Pain, The Gift Nobody Wants. This was followed in 1997 by their book entitled, The Gift of Pain. Each book embraces the essential role that pain has in protecting the body from further harm. As an intensely unpleasant sensation, pain makes our bodies withdraw from the offensive malefactor to the security of an innocuous environment. So pain is good! Pain is a gift.
