Description

“Do you want to be healed?”

Jesus asks that question several times in the Bible—of the woman at the well, Bartimaeus the blind man, the woman caught in adultery, the rich young man—and he asks the same of you as well.

Do You Want to Be Healed? is a 10-day personal retreat that uses a healing process similar to the one found in the author Bob Schuchts’s bestselling book Be Healed.

Each day of the do-it-yourself retreat engages you with a question Jesus asked his followers and uses the traditional practice of lectio divina (divine reading) to dive into a scriptural scene where Jesus heals the spiritually and physically sick.

Through the five movements of reading, meditation, prayer, contemplation, and action, you will encounter the biblical figures who received the healing words of Jesus, you will undergo your own spiritual healing and discover your personal response to Jesus’s most probing questions, including:

· Do you want to be made well?

· What are you thinking in your heart?

· Has no one condemned you?

· Can you drink the cup?

· Have you come to believe? and

· Do you love me more than these?

Through these questions and the healing answering them brings about, you will come to understand the principles of spiritual healing—such as facing your brokenness, acknowledging your sin and shame, and discovering the healing power of the sacraments—Schuchts shares in Be Healed.

Those who have already read Be Healed will be drawn deeper into their healing with a refresher on the core principles of Schuchts’s work. The book is also perfect for those who want to begin the process of spiritual healing. Do You Want to Be Healed? also is an essential resource for pastors, spiritual directors, therapists, and those who help lead others in an integration of their human and spiritual formation.

Do You Want to Be Healed: A 10-Day Scriptural Retreat with Jesus is a wonderful resource for those yearning for peace of soul and mind.

Author Bob Schuchts does a magnificent job guiding the reader through passages of the Bible. Pondering these passages can lead to enlightenment and a great deal of spiritual enrichment.

Whether, as a reader, you put yourself in the place of the Samaritan Woman or the Paralyzed Man, chances are you will come away from this contemplative experience with a new appreciation for Jesus and how He can revolutionize your life.

As the Introduction states:

"Do you want to be healed? This was the provocative question Jesus asked the lame man near the pool of Bethesda. It is also the probing question he puts before each one of us as we seek healing in our own lives. We may be hesitant for a myriad of reasons, but Jesus is not deterred."

If you are longing for a summer respite from the daily grind, Do You Want to Be Healed may be just the spiritual work for you!

God captured my attention even in the forward of “Do You Want to Be Healed?” by Bob Schuchts. The scripture used in this book spoke to my heart through the power of the Holy Spirit. The book conveys God’s love and healing power. Anyone who uses the scripture and text of this book to encounter God will be blessed. The additional resources on each scripture passage of video, music, and written works are a blessing for further study and growth. The book is an amazing tool to challenge us to grow in an intimate relationship with God. The questions in each chapter are thought provoking and growth inducing.
