Do You Need a Bit of Healing?

I was immediately drawn to this book based on the Thistle Farms reference. I love organizations like this, that empower women who are broken and hurt. For those that haven't heard of it before, Thistle Farms is a social enterprise for survivors of trafficking, prostitution, and addiction. Love Heals is an extension of the grace and healing that Thistle Farms encapsulates.

It's a beautiful book, full of poetry, beautiful images, and a pretty purple floral design. As a hardcover book, it would make a great gift book (it has a dedication page) or a book you leave out on the coffee table and pick up at any time for a bit of inspiration. It is thicker than I anticipated, with lots of content to ponder.

Each chapter is based on a way love heals and transforms broken, hurting lives. Since we are all human, I think all of us can find comfort in this book. Some of my favourite chapters included the following:
  • Love Heals Through Creation
  • Love Heals with Daily Rituals
  • Love Heals with Compassion
  • Love Heals over the Bridge of Time
  • Love Heals Past Our Fears
Becca Stevens writes with a passionate, poetic voice, and it's easy to find rest and get lost in the pages. The imagery sprinkled throughout gives a calming effect as well. This book is not just full of written wisdom, but some pages feature full-size images (think flowers, nature, etc.), call-out text, poetry or verse, and scripture. All these elements make it easy to read but also an enjoyment to read. The mix of scripture, stories, and spiritual principles makes it both sobering and encouraging, and can be used as a tool to bring you closer to God.

I think this is a great book, especially as a gift for someone who needs a little bit of healing. It's a beautiful book for encouragement, whatever you're going through.
