Love Heals: A Biblical Plan to Restore Our Emotions, Memories, Souls, and Bodies
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 “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 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, 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.

I received a free copy of, Love Heals, by Sonja Corbitt, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book shows us how to heal with scriptures. How scripture can get us through most anything. How to heal ourselves and maintain a closer relationship with God. This was a valuable read.

I really enjoyed this book. While it felt long and took me a lot longer then I would have liked to get through it, I still very much enjoyed the message that was written. This book showed my how I need to go about hard times in my life so that I can be a better person, friend, and sister.
