Full Description
Pain is inevitable. Almost everyone is living with some kind of pain,
whether the cause is physical, emotional, financial, social, or spiritual. A
desire to escape it has led thousands of Canadians to seek euthanasia, and
countless others into opioid addiction. What can we learn from people around
the world for whom pain is a fact of life? How can we help others bear their
pain? How might the wisdom of earlier eras help us? What answers does faith offer?
