Synopsis

First published almost ten years ago and now available in hardcover, the bestselling book Be Healed has established itself as the classic guide to spiritual healing.

Based on retired Catholic therapist Bob Schuchts’s popular program at the John Paul II Healing Center, the bestselling book offers hope in the healing power of God through the Holy Spirit and the sacraments and incorporates elements of charismatic spirituality while being steeped in scripture and the wisdom of the Church.

“Somewhere deep inside each one of us is a burning desire to finally become the person God created us to be.”

Do you suffer from spiritual or emotional wounds that are keeping you from reaching that goal?

Schuchts’s trusted process for finding inner peace and spiritual healing is boldly Christ-centered, maintaining focus on the person of Jesus as “the life-giving and ever-present physician of our souls.” Schuchts will help you recognize your brokenness and find your hope and healing in the risen Christ. Schuchts shares his own spiritual healing journey after enduring a series of betrayals in high school―his father’s infidelity, his parents’ divorce, his older brother’s drug addiction―and his subsequent periods of struggle with God and faith.

The book includes helpful tools such as charts, tables, lists, reflection questions, and personal challenges to guide you on your own healing. Be Healed is lauded as life-changing by such Catholic leaders as Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT, Scott Hahn, Tom Corcoran, and Patrick Lencioni.

This durable hardcover edition includes a new preface from the author. It is perfect for use by group leaders, individuals, and therapists and makes a great keepsake edition for gift-giving.
