Discription
Out of the twelve enlightening chapters (many of which openly oppose other authors’ wisdom and foolish psychological and philosophical teachings), GUIDED BY OUR PAIN exposes and wonderfully dispels the useless wisdom of man. It also informs the readers of the truth about the dangers of mental and emotional pain, as well as instructs them in how to best combat their pain from an entirely different perspective. This book also touches on the spiritual and soulful nature of a man. Below are subject matters which many other authors tend to avoided.

Who was the single most diabolical person in America in 1995 that in one day’s time made a mockery of this nation’s value systems and caused us to question our own perceived morals and ethics? Of course, the answer to this question is Timothy McVeigh, yet, more than fifteen years after the attack of the Alfred P. Murrah Building, this nation still does not have any answers for why its citizens are steep in their pain.
One third of all Americans, about 82.3 million suffer from some form of mental and emotional pain, and most are not even aware of the danger zone that lurks all about them. Nearly half of these people spend a great deal of time, energy, and MONEY trying to find some answers or some form of cure for their pain. People’s search for tranquility may lead them to some place as simple as a psychologist’s office, or it may even cause them to turn inwardly and become recluse and depressed for long periods. More importantly, their pain can cause them to become violent as well as a threat to the safety and welfare of millions of innocent people. Why is this so, because no one has ever directly addressed the thought of people’s pain being at the heart of this nation’s fastest growing problem?
Despite the amount of money that is spent each year trying to help people combat their pain, America continues to retain the highest percentage of people who tormented by mental and emotional pain. In addition, statistics have shown that nearly three out of every fifteen people we meet presently suffer from some form of mental and emotional pain. Mental health professionals continue trying to medicate people, thinking that they can alleviate people’s pain, but in truth, they are just medicating the physical body because they have no answer for the soul of a man.
These professionals have purposefully overlooked and disregarded the fact that men have a spirit and a soul, and they refuse to accept the fact that it is impossible to medicate a man’s soul. The only thing that can heal the soul and spirit of a man is the TRUTH that is in the Word of God! This is what Guided by Our Pain has to offer that none of these other worldly authors, philosophers, and psychologists can. Why, because they themselves are spiritually deficient, and unknowingly (on their part) their knowledge and all such treatments they have prescribe are designed to work against the knowledge of God, as well as the soul of a man?
Our nation spends in excess of 8 trillion dollars each year making, studying, and distributing new medicines. They establish institutions, as well as train up professionals to try to combat this growing problem. Yet, despite their best efforts, this problem has continued to grow by leap and bounds each year for the past ten years or so.
The National Centers for Victims of Crime states that in 2006:
A violent crime occurred every 22 seconds, murder every 31 seconds, forcible rape every 6 seconds, robbery every 1 second and aggravated assault every 37 seconds. The estimated number of violent crime offenses was more than 1.4 million according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s study.
It goes on to state,
Crime victims have a much higher ‘lifetime’ incidence of suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than people those who have been victimized. The ratio is actually 25% vs. 9.4% of the people. Of crime victims diagnosed with PTSD, 37% also suffer from depression.
With statistical numbers such as these, showing the amount of people who have been victimized by an assailant suffering from mental and emotional pain, along with the number of trauma these victims who were left to cope with their pain, the question now becomes; how many of these people are truly getting the help they need to get back on their feet and back into the game of life? Therefore, the amount people who suffer from mental and emotional pain are far greater than most professionals have ever imagined.
The Lord Jesus Christ told the entire world more than 2500 years ago what the answer to this problem was. He said, “You shall know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you FREE!” St. John 8:32. Therefore, neither man’s philosophy nor his mystical teaching shall ever make men free. Only the TRUTH will make men FREE! This is what Guided by Our Pain has to offer that none of the other authors’ books can offer.
Men constantly fight, as they are found refusing to believe that the pain inside of a man is spiritual in nature, and therefore their pain can only be treated and alleviated by the spiritual principles found in God's Holy Word. One way in which the author has made this book easy to be read and comprehended, he has divided this book up into five parts, each describing one of the elements in our value system that will help people stabilize their pain. The inner parts of the book will contain illustrations that show the life cycle of pain in the carnal minded mind, as well as describes the support chain for those presently suffering from mental and emotional pain. Aside for these illustrations, there is a word of wisdom at the beginning of each chapter, along with a chart detailing what it is the readers will learn in each chapter.
Guided by Our Pain is an earnest book that peels back the soulful and spiritual eyelids of men, unveiling how they are being destroyed by their very own pain, as well as by the foolish wisdom and knowledge of men that they have come to trust in over the centuries.
It reveals an absolute truth that has the power to set them free, as it describes the many effects of mental and emotional pain that occurs in every man; as well as it discusses the destructive power of pain in the lives of people everywhere. The problem in our society lies in the fact that men have never learned to control this rage, especially rage that has been brought on as a result of their pain. Guided by Our Pain teaches men how to bring their rage and anger under arrest, as it simultaneously tells them the WHY they must do so.
Author, Thomas Moore, writer of the book, Care of the Soul unknowingly spelled out a need for such a book as this, as he was found contending about the soul of a man. In his book, he claimed that “The soul of A MAN is not a project for self-improvement . . .” This book repudiates this belief held by Mr. Moore’s as it describes the human struggle in every facet, as it pertains unto the soulish part of a man.
