More Than an Aspirin is a book of good news about bad news. The bad news is, of course, that you will experience pain. The good news is that by His grace, God can redeem your pain and lead you on a journey into joy and maturity.

Drawing from years of counseling experience, Dr. Hubbard explains that effective stewardship of pain requires both adopting a God's-eye view of your circumstances and developing practical life skills. She shows you how redemptive management of pain can lead you to a deeper relationship with God and a new kinship and community within the body of Christ.

Dr. Hubbard helps you find answers to questions like:
  • Does God promise a happy ending?
  • How can I think constructively about pain?
  • What shall I do with failure?
  • How can I pray in this pain?
  • and more
Dr. Hubbard writes, "Making life's bad times produce good results requires more than magic or more than a metaphorical aspirin and a good night's sleep . . . This book describes patterns of thinking and practical skills that people have found helpful in those hard times when they have felt overwhelmed and overmatched by the events of their lives. . . ."

About the Author:

What Others Are Saying


Dr. Hubbard, began the book with "Pain has many faces, but these faces often wear a mask". This assertion couldn't be more true as most people cleverly put on a façade to mask the strain of the real weight underneath. Once the human nerve buttons are touched, we react offensively with our favourite verb,'why?':picking up a grudge with God and blaming ourselves simultaneously I quite loved the way Dr. Hubbard used a wide range of true- life accounts besides the story of Job et al. Interestingly however,"God neither promised any of His creations a pain-free lifetime nor an instant alleviation of such pain" as we journey through life. An avoidance, or the numbing delusion,of pain in itself defeats the cause of managing and rising above it unless we learn to see it from God's perspective. Regardless of whether its the loss of a precious child, the dissolution of a relationship, or even as trivial as the loss of a cellphone may sound; our reaction to pain is similar. Yet,"Loss is not fatal" as Hubbard puts it, "for we either choose to live through it", and allow God lead us to a good place on the other side of the temporal adversity, or we allow ourselves to be swallowed by it! Whatever the pain we'd be undergoing, observing it in the light of the Scripture below from God's perspective would certainly bring some relief to our aching souls. Not forgetting that Aspirin is a temporal pain-reliever: God alone holds the keys to our cure!

This is an amazing and practical book on dealing with all types of suffering. I found it very helpful and it will be on my bookshelf forever as a treasure in times of need.
