The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out to God When Pain Overwhelms
Dr. Michelle Bengtson
Pain is inevitable. It manifests physically, emotionally, relationally, or spiritually. It follows tragic accidents, great loss, sudden betrayal, or unexpected change. Often pain is temporary. But what do you do when it isn’t? When it won’t go away, healing does not come, and grief and hurt settle in to stay?
Drawing on her own experience of chronic pain and her years as a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist, Dr. Michelle Bengtson provides a countercultural perspective on pain. Offering hope without any false promises or empty platitudes, Dr. Bengtson unwraps the complex emotional aspects of dealing with pain.
- She gives you permission to question God,
- helps you identify the lies you’ve believed about your pain, and
- reorients your perception based on the truth of God’s Word.
Each chapter ends with a recommended playlist, reflection questions, and a prayer.
Your pain may not change, but your experience with it can.

Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right
Dr. Michelle Bengtson
Job frustrations, difficult relationships, fluctuating health, emotional upheaval. When life conspires to drag us down with all of its troubles, it can be hard to keep our spirits up. Dr. Michelle Bengtson knows. Severely ill and mired in depression, she desperately needed something to cling to. That is when she decided to stand on God’s promises that, despite her circumstances, every day was a good day for a good day.
In this uplifting devotional, Bengtson helps you make each day a good day no matter what is going on in your life. Each reading includes Scripture, reflection, prayer, and a recommended playlist song designed to help you live out Philippians 4:8: “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.”
Because our thoughts determine our beliefs, our beliefs determine our attitudes, and our attitudes determine our behaviors.
Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How To Reclaim the Peace God Promises
Dr. Michelle Bengtson
No question, we have a lot to worry about. Children, jobs, homes, health, finances, and more. The solution isn’t to rid ourselves of the sources of anxiety – as if we could. Instead, we need to recognize that anxiety originates from a spiritual influence and that we can fight back using the God-given weapons of power, love, and a sound mind.
We can discover true peace in an age of anxiety.
In Breaking Anxiety’s Grip, Dr. Michelle Bengtson shares her own story of emerging from the battle with anxiety as well as the stories of others. She reminds you of your identity as a follower of Christ and of the peace he promises you in spite of everything.
She provides tools to cope with the crushing emotional burden of anxiety now and, more importantly, shows you how to reclaim God’s peace as a way of life so that you can break anxiety’s grip.
