"Whatever comes from Timmerman's pen is always a worthy read. Clinically, the idea of the book intrigued me, but I was not prepared for its impact personally. Timmerman has put a compassionate and perceptive framework to the complex phenomena of pain and surrounded it in words that finally make holistic sense."
--Susan vanHoek, RN-BC, Disability Administrator, MorningStar Health
"In contrast to the often sterile, technocratic world of clinical medicine, A Biblical Understanding of Pain is refreshing. Timmerman intersperses his well-researched prose with honest, warm vignettes to illustrate the extent of pain in our lives. Only with the comfort and fullness of God's love and grace do Christians live in this imperfect world of pain."
--Jayne Rauwerda, MD, Pediatrician, Alger Pediatrics in Grand Rapids, MI
"If you want a better grasp on the mystery of pain, if you want to see what pain does to us and to those around us, and if you want to understand how pain effects our relationship with God, then walk with John Timmerman on this personal, honest, and gripping journey through pain."
--Ecko De Vries, Pastor and Hospital Chaplain
