Jesus The Healer,Used

"In this beautiful book of meditations, stories, Scriptural teachings and more, Shirley Keogh has written what will doubtless be a great blessing for the faithful who read it. Her writing is inspiring, edifying, and bears great witness to the power of Christ in our lives. May all who open these pages be likewise encouraged to grow into ever deeper union with Our Lord and allow Him to transform their lives!"~Professor Daniel O'Connor, renowned Theologian, author of 'The Crown of Sanctity On the Revelations of Jesus to Luisa Piccarreta' and contributor to www.Countdowntothekingdom.com. In this frank and honest memoir, Shirley details the painful, emotional scars she experienced when as a 12 year old child she was cut off, not only from her father, but also from her younger brother. In a beautifully crafted fashion, she describes the impact that the separation had on her but more importantly how her journey towards the healing of her wound led her into her present vocation to be a voice and a source of healing for others, who through no fault of their own, have had to travel a similar path.Using a diaryjournaling technique she details the steps by which she was led to surrender her life and her problems to the Lord. It was revealed to her that 'by His stripes' we are healed, as the Lord led her to a place of hope and healing. She now had the courage to share her story in the hope that her experiences may help society to think again about the widespread (and growing) availability of divorce and parental separation. She makes a heartfelt plea for the real victims the children.As a wife and mother she realises that the deepest healing is that of a broken heart and a bruised spirit. As a committed Christian, Shirley explains that in the Catholic tradition healing is more likely to come in a gradual way. For many people brought up in a world where everything is instant and immediate, she points out that we can learn so many valuable lessons about life in the waiting period things that we can easily miss in more dramatic and instantaneous stories of healing. Shirley is living proof that when we surrender our lives to the Lord He can mysteriously open doors that we didn't even know existed. I am very pleased to recommend her book and pray that it will provide readers with as much encouragement and hope as it has given me."~Fr Benny McHale "Shirley Keogh has taken a courageous gamble in laying her spiritual heart so bare. I believe it has paid off. This is a warm, brave and hospitable book where searchers and believers can find refreshment, encouragement and rest. Shirley has placed all the fruits of her own search and everdeepening faith on this excellent table. I recommend it with enthusiasm and confidence and I pray it has a wonderful effect in its readers' lives." ~Rev. Brendan Kilcoyne, PP Athenry
