Love Heals - A Biblical Plan to Restore Our Emotions Memories Souls and Bodies

Sonja Corbitt

Summary

Are you ready to stop suffering from feelings of fear and unworthiness? Are you ready to heal the pain in your most important relationships? Are you ready to love and be loved? For more than a decade, renowned “Scripture Evangelista” Sonja Corbitt has inspired Catholic audiences with her teachings on how to read the Bible and apply its principles to everyday life. In her flagship book Love Heals, Corbitt distills her years of ministry and teaching to explore scripture as a profound source for healing. She emphasizes that the key to whole-person healing is found in the greatest commandment: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength . . . and your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:30). According to Corbitt this commandment is not given for God’s benefit but for ours “because God’s love has the power to heal every part of us: painful emotions, fears, and memories; judgments, deficits, and wounds of love; oppressive, anxious, negative thoughts; and weary, diseased bodies.” Drawing from the healing stories of the gospels as well as her own life experiences, Corbitt shows how the love of Jesus brings healing to every wounded and broken part of us so that we can, in turn, pour that love into everyone we meet. Love Heals will teach you to recognize areas of your life that are wounded by sin, neglect, and weakness and respond to God’s invitation for healing (Mark 12:30); heal “blind spots” in your emotions and memories and address the root cause of your suffering—just as Jesus healed blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46–52); encounter Christ through the sacraments, affirming your identity in Christ and his Church, and be healed of sinful and painful judgments and actions—just as Christ healed the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:4–42); find release from toxic patterns of thinking that take root and multiply in your life so that you can begin to hear and respond to the truth, just as the deaf man was able to hear the proclamation of the Gospel message (Mark 7:31–37); give and receive forgiveness in order to begin the process of physical healing, alleviating suffering brought on by negativity and other spiritual strongholds—just as Jesus was able to heal the man by the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1–15). In Love Heals, Corbitt will walk with you, hand in hand, through the process of opening your heart, mind, body, and soul to the healing love of God—not because there is something wrong with you or because you need to be fixed but because healing is your rightful inheritance as a child of God. God’s love heals. God’s love resurrects. God’s love renews. God’s love transforms.

Be Concerned (Minor Prophets) -...

Warren W. Wiersbe

"It is necessary only for the good man [or woman] to do nothing for evil to triumph." --Edmund Burke 
It is certainly true today that the "Do Nothings" outnumber "The Company of the Concerned," which in part explains why society is so confused and frightened. It's time for God's people to be concerned! 
Meet some concerned believers who made a difference in their time and who show you how to make a difference in your time: 
Amos-The "farmer preacher" who understood the times better than the scholars and who dared to stand for God's truth against the highest officials in the nation. 
Obadiah-The prophet who explained why longstanding family feuds ultimately bring defeat and disgrace. 
Micah-The prophet who shows why the only hope for any nation is surrender to the Lord and obedience to His Word. 
Zephaniah-The prophet who saw the coming "Day of the Lord" and told the people how to get ready. 
Join God's "faithful remnant" and dare to be different!

Jar of Tears - Moms aren't...

Kathleen Templeton

I'm shocked. 
My dad just told me that my mother died. 
DIED. 
He should know that mothers don't die until they're old grandmothers. Is he lying to me? Is she dead or did she run away from me because of our fight? I miss my mom. My heart hurts. This can't be happening. 
What am I going to do without my mom? How do I survive without my mom? 
Dad says that I must move in with him, his wife, and his two kids. This can't be happening. And what about my art show? Mom encouraged me to paint. I can't do my art show without her! What am I going to do? 
If my mom died, God must be punishing me. Or maybe he's not as good as everyone says. 
Pastor Will says that God values my tears. I can't stop crying, but God hasn't given me my mom back yet. Maybe Pastor Will has been tricked and God isn't real, after all. c 
Kirkus review says, "Steeped in Christianity, Templeton's story is likely to provide deep comfort to those who observe the faith and would prove an excellent resource for Christian youth groups. This Christian-centered story deftly limns the conflicting emotions of kids who have experienced loss."

Womanish Theology - Discovering...

Khristi Lauren Adams

Khristi Lauren Adams's faith was first shaped by her experiences as a Black girl—learning about Scripture from her grandmother, Mama Hattie; "playing church" with her seven cousins over summer vacation; and grieving the murder of her sixteen-year-old friend when she was just fifteen. 
 
 
 
In Womanish Theology, Adams reflects on those experiences, inviting listeners to learn from a new perspective and guiding them to a deeper understanding of their own spirituality. 
 
 
 
This groundbreaking book introduces a new branch of theological thought Adams calls womanish, as a play on the womanist tradition (the theology of Black womanhood). "Womanish," remembers Adams, is a term Black mothers used for young girls as they grew more interested in doing grown-up things. Adams draws on her own life story as well as the life stories of other Black girls to explore theological concepts such as Scripture, theodicy, salvation, prayer, neighborly love, and the image of God. 
 
 
 
Through this journey, listeners will learn that theology is for everyone and that the whole community of God can learn from the spiritual insights of Black girls.
