I found and favored the Book of Philippians to be of much help in my personal quest for Christian maturity, and also some relief from my COMBAT PTSD. I highly recommend this to all of my Combat Brothers all over the world. I would not pass this on if I didn't truly believe it of value. I think that it's a pity that it took me most of my adult life searching for the correct answer-- wasting too much time and wondering which path to take. The scriptural-ly wise people in the world already knew this stuff light years ago.... but we all learn at our different speeds in life.
Philippians is a relatively small Bible book and one of my favorite of all 66 bible books, and my dear wife, Sharon, tells me that her fav. book is Joshua [of which she credits her victorious struggle with her own 'demons' of heart disease, surgery, etc.]
At last she is resting comfortably in bed now and hopes to make it to church-- but that is strictly up to her own judgement, not mine. It's just that THIS conservative Christian congregation has shown great love and concern for Sharon's fight/ battle with constant surgery, and her welfare. And that meant alot to her.

The VA in Milwaukee sent me some 'Pain relieving cream' called, THERA-GESIC, that might help a little with my lower neck pain that is traveling down my Left arm and hand. Every little bit helps, and I call that the 'shotgun' effect of pain management.
