In her flagship book \u003cem\u003eLove Heals\u003c\/em\u003e, Corbitt distills her years of ministry and teaching to explore scripture as a profound source for healing. She emphasizes that the key to whole-person healing is found in the greatest commandment: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength . . . and your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:30). According to Corbitt this commandment is not given for God’s benefit but for ours “because God’s love has the power to heal every part of us: painful emotions, fears, and memories; judgments, deficits, and wounds of love; oppressive, anxious, negative thoughts; and weary, diseased bodies.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing from the healing stories of the gospels as well as her own life experiences, Corbitt shows how the love of Jesus brings healing to every wounded and broken part of us so that we can, in turn, pour that love into everyone we meet. \u003cem\u003eLove Heals\u003c\/em\u003e will teach you to\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003erecognize areas of your life that are wounded by sin, neglect, and weakness and respond to God’s invitation for healing (Mark 12:30);\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eheal “blind spots” in your emotions and memories and address the root cause of your suffering—just as Jesus healed blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46–52);\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eencounter Christ through the sacraments, affirming your identity in Christ and his Church, and be healed of sinful and painful judgments and actions—just as Christ healed the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:4–42);\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efind release from toxic patterns of thinking that take root and multiply in your life so that you can begin to hear and respond to the truth, just as the deaf man was able to hear the proclamation of the Gospel message (Mark 7:31–37);\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egive and receive forgiveness in order to begin the process of physical healing, alleviating suffering brought on by negativity and other spiritual strongholds—just as Jesus was able to heal the man by the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1–15).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eLove Heals\u003c\/em\u003e, Corbitt will walk with you, hand in hand, through the process of opening your heart, mind, body, and soul to the healing love of God—not because there is something wrong with you or because you need to be fixed but because healing is your rightful inheritance as a child of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGod’s love heals.
