Hiding

Adam and Eve’s first response to their sin was to hide from God, sewing for themselves clothing made from fig leaves they found in the Garden.  Thousands of years later, we are still hiding from God using fig leaves of a more subtle kind.  We suppress negative thoughts and emotions, leading to devastating physical consequences.

Using the latest in medical research, Biblical truths, and personal confessions, Emily Esmaili reveals what pain really is, where it comes from, and how to heal.

When you are in pain, you want answers.  You want a treatment plan that will just work.  With so many pain relief methods on the market, shouldn’t there be one that rises to the top as being the most effective?  One back pain sufferer insists that a hard bed has helped her immensely, while another swears by nightly ice packs.  Or physical therapy.  Or a change in diet.  Or any host of gadgets or medications that have "helped" in some way.  But if the remedies for pain are so personal, could the causes also be…personal?

To answer this question, we have to go back to the very beginning…to the Garden.
