Healing
for ourselves and our relationships.
"We have made a terrible mistake!
For most of this century we have wrongly defined soul wounds as psychological
disorders and delegated their treatment to trained specialists. Damaged
psyches aren't the problem. The problem is disconnected souls. What we
need is connection! What we need is a healing community!" –Larry
Crabb
In his most significant book since the immensely successful Inside
Out, Dr. Larry Crabb expands on his lifelong work in the field of
psychotherapy to adopt a groundbreaking, but biblical approach to healing
the deep wounds of the soul — an approach that centers around building
intimate, healing mini-communities in our lives and churches.
Dr. Crabb envisions a day when communities of God's people — ordinary
Christians whose lives connect as husband to wife, brother to sister,
friend to friend — will accomplish most of the healing that we now
depend on mental health professionals to provide.
God has deposited within us the power to heal soul-disease and that power
is released to do its work as we relate to each other in revolutionary
new ways. In challenging, practical language, Dr. Crabb shows us how.
