Every soul carries a wound story. Some pain is the fruit of our own choices, like David's after Bathsheba. Some pain is warfare we never invited. Some pain is a furnace God uses to enlarge our capacity to carry more of His glory. In From Pain to Pleasure, Bishop Osei Tweneboah Koduah walks readers through every category of pain Scripture names, and shows how God transforms each one into testimony, wisdom, and joy.Drawing from the lives of Adam, Job, David, and a cloud of biblical witnesses, alongside real pastoral encounters, this book does not offer shallow answers or promise a painless faith. Instead it makes one steady claim from cover to cover: God allows pain, but He never wastes it.Inside these pages you will discover:•  The different kinds of pain Scripture identifies, and how to tell them apart•  Why joy is not the same as happiness, and why that difference matters•  How God heals in stages rather than through instant fixes•  How to turn your deepest wounds into wisdom that helps others•  Prayers, reflection questions, and journal pages to guide your own restorationWhether you are sitting in the wreckage of a broken season, carrying wounds no one else can see, or waiting for a breakthrough that feels delayed, this book was written for you. Your pain is not your final destination.
