Painkillers Jacky Connell

Pain is a necessary component of life. It's a warning sign for bodily harm and is indicative of issues that need attention. Physical and mental pain plague millions of people on a daily basis. For those who suffer, all thought is devoted to escaping discomfort, but all too often the wrong escape routes are chosen.



In Painkiller, Rev. Jacky Connell describes the seven ineffective and harmful methods that people commonly fall on in an attempt to manage pain. Reverend Connell covers the lures of

isolation, inappropriate relationships, an independent spirit, idolatry, intoxication, intellectual sabotage, and insecurity.

For each situation, Reverend Connell offers advice on finding God's way of rising above the temptation of brief distraction and embracing true recovery through faith.



Painkillers avoids accusation and condemnation, reinforcing the fact that all pain is real. One person's pain cannot be compared to the pain of another, for it is a personal experience. There is no clear-cut multistep solution, but God's love is there for all who seek healing.



For those who hurt, Jesus is more than a painkiller-He is the pain taker.
