Thought-provoking and deep considerations on trauma response, psychology, and patristic theology offer a path to the healing of our soul and body through forgiveness and prayer.

I would say this is the best psychologically-informed Orthodox spirituality book I’ve read. Mother Siluana looks at the human person containing body, mind and spirit. This book gathers together patristic theology, neuroscience, and trauma research. Thank you Grig for the translation of this book.

I loved it. Except for the parts that I hated. (One of my children is a cancer survivor. If you have read the book, you probably know why this may ruffle my feathers.) Even so, I have to give it five stars.

a must read and reread for any Orthodox Christian. one of the most eye/soul-opening books of my life so far

Orthodox friend lent this to me since he thought it would be helpful to read

This lady is definitely pretty smart but I’m not orthodox so many of the pleadings and conclusions she promotes simply go in one ear and out the other for me

A lot of good stuff though that if I was more mature I would have listened to more closely

I find a lot of her arguments lacking as well, but that doesn’t mean I don’t envy her ability to truly believe them

I wish I wasn’t so confused

This book bumps other books to enter my top 10 of all time. I already know I will read again this year. It is one to think about and spend time with the material.
