Lenten Healing: 40 Days to Set You Free from Sin

Lenten Healing: 40 Days to Set You Free from Sin

by Bob Schuchts (Foreword), KenKniepmann (Author), Bob Schuchts (Foreword), Ken Kniepmann (Author), Ken Kniepmann (Author)

Synopsis

Based on the popular spiritual healing program designed by Bob Schuchts and the John Paul II Healing Centre, Lenten Healing offers a twist to traditional Lenten fasting: instead of giving up chocolate, give up your sin. This daily Lenten devotional offers a unique approach to fasting, helping you re-examine the psychological and spiritual roots of sin in your life while sharing reflections and prayer exercises for overcoming sinful habits and acquiring virtuous ones. During each week of Lent, Ken Kniepmann breaks open one of the seven deadly sins (pride, lust, gluttony, sloth, anger, envy, and greed) and its corresponding virtue (humility, chastity, abstinence, diligence, patience, kindness, and liberality). You'll start by learning about the sin and how it manifests itself in daily life and thought patterns. Then you'll move into reflection and prayer exercises that guide you through the process of renouncing that week's sin and resolving to adopt that week's virtue.

A simple and helpful understanding of the human person and the effects of sin and grace in the human heart.

Andrew Cozzens, Auxiliary Bishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis

Lenten Healing expands our concept of Lenten fasting from obligation to awakening. Through this approach to the Lenten disciplines of fasting and prayer, Ken Kniepmann offers readers an opportunity to deepen our vision of what it means to be free, whole, and loved by God. --Audrey Assad, Catholic singer, songwriter, and musician

I have no doubt that Lenten Healing will be of great help to people desiring freedom and restoration in Jesus Christ. The meditations are inspiring, deep, and healing.

If you are anything like me you have dealt with some type of repetitive sin or behavior, something you desired to be free from. Ken Kniepmann in Lenten Healing unpacks the roots of sin, the power of grace, and the reality of freedom we have in Christ. This is a devotional we should all journey through. --Paul George, Catholic speaker and author of Rethink Happiness

Ken Kniepmann does an amazing job of leading us on a guided Lenten retreat into the 'super-structure' of sin--the interior tangled web of past wounds and the complicated response of our hearts toward sin as a medication for all that mess--with illuminating force, accessing God's grace and healing all along the way! --Jim Beckman, Executive director of evangelization and catechesis, Archdiocese of Oklahoma City

The integration of prayer, emotional healing, and growth in Christian virtue in Lenten Healing is both brilliant and profound. If you want freedom from the deeper places of your sin and from the hurts and wounds that drive sin, read this book and allow Jesus to heal you and set you free. --Rev. Mathias Thelen, S.T.L., Pastoral Administrator of St. Patrick Parish, Brighton, Michigan
