Publisher's summary

These six reflections, which meditate upon the sacraments as sources of healing, reveal the wisdom, insight, and wit of Met. Kallistos Ware. He explores the human condition in light of the Orthodox tradition from many angles: the deep meaning and mystery of the human body and its healing; the somewhat ambiguous role of the passions in our life; the therapeutic vision of the church expressed in the Mysteries of Confession and Anointing; our experience of healing both in the Divine Liturgy and in the wider world, and, finally, in the great mystery of death itself.

It is often said that the Orthodox Church is a hospital and that our understanding of salvation is therapeutic. Here Met. Kallistos explores what this means in many different ways and helps us to understand more deeply our relationship with Christ the physician of souls and bodies, who came to save and to heal both us and the world.

Author is knowledgeable about the topic and widely read

I love the questions explored in this book, especially the section on death. this is for the short and sweet book. This book is short and easy to approach. There was a simplicity to the understanding of the healing. The Orthodox Church can offer. The topics are relevant and  were very interesting to me even though I have been orthodox for about 12 years. I definitely recommend is Reid.
