How can we transform our lives in a way that allows us to share in the resurrection of Jesus?\u003cp\u003eGod has already given us the perfect solution--the sacraments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether it is the wound of past hurts, the strain in our relationships, or the stress of daily life, we all need to be comforted and made whole by Christ. In this follow-up to his bestselling \u003ci\u003eBe Healed\u003c\/i\u003e, Bob Schuchts explains how the sacraments can fuel your emotional and spiritual healing and bring you closer to God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on more than thirty-five years of experience as a therapist and decades spent in parish ministry, Schuchts demonstrates how each of the seven sacraments can be a life-changing encounter with Christ, communicated through the power of the Holy Spirit. He pairs each healing sacrament with one of the seven deadly wounds that emanated from original sin in the Garden of Eden. We perpetuate and deepen those wounds each time we sin, but the sacraments are God's remedy for sin. They give us a way to restore us to wholeness in Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBe Transformed\u003c\/i\u003e, You'll discover how each sacrament can help you heal from wounds that can impede your relationships and sense of self-worth.
