Revell and Netgalley provided me with a copy of The Hem of His Garment:

As a social media follower of Dr. Michelle Bengston’s, I was thrilled to be asked to review this book!

We all experience pain. Manifestations can be physical, emotional, relational, or spiritual. The change may come after a tragic accident, a great loss, or sudden and unwanted changes. Often it is temporary. But what if it isn’t? Is there a time when the pain just won’t go away, when the healing won’t come?

Dr. Michelle Bengtson offers a countercultural perspective on pain based on her own experience of chronic pain. Providing hope without false promises or empty platitudes, Dr. Bengtson unravels the complex emotional aspects of pain. She encourages you to question God, identifies the lies you’ve believed about your pain, and reorients your perception based on God’s truth. The chapter ends with a playlist, reflection questions, and a prayer.

The pain may not change, but the experience may.

I give the Hem of His Garment five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
