Based on the popular spiritual healing program designed by Bob Schuchts and the John Paul II Healing Center, 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 reexamine the psychological and spiritual roots of sin in your life while sharing reflections and prayer exercises for overcoming sinful habits and acquiring virtuous ones.
Lent is the ideal time to identify and address "spiritual blind spots"—unacknowledged emotional wounds and false ideas that hinder your prayer life and worship.
During each week of Lent, Ken Kniepmann of the John Paul II Healing Center 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.
Fasting, the practice of giving up pleasures or comforts, allows us to grow in holiness by putting our desires to a kind of death. Obvious examples include giving up a habit such as a favorite food, sleeping in, or late-night TV—but what happens when you try to give up your sins while recognizing the deeper reasons you commit them in the first place? By seeing those connections and praying specifically for God's insight, healing, and revelation, you’ll be able to experience God’s mercy and love to a greater capacity.
Kniepmann helps you see how the depth of Catholic teaching is connected to your daily life. Sin isn't just an activity; it is a place of the heart (the interior life) and the movement of the heart (toward or away from sin) as related to thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. By the time Easter arrives, you'll possess a deeper understanding of sin and emotional wounds as impediments to intimacy with God and come away with tangible, practical tools for addressing those impediments in your life.

- If you have ever begun a Lenten discipline of scripture study or prayer, only to have it all fall flat after a few days, then Lenten Healing is the perfect book for you this coming Lent. Ken Kniepmann has prepared a wonderful and meaningful daily Lenten "retreat" that really does get to the heart of the renewal and transformation people seek during a Lenten Journey. The daily prayer and fasting reflections help to get to the root of all that keeps us from living as Christ desires. Once the root is discovered, the Holy Spirit leads you from sin and disorder to healing and renewal. Very grateful for this timely and well prepared resource!
- The daily reflections are so deep, I feel like I need a full day retreat to allow the truths to sink in and the Holy Spirit to bring to light the wounds/lies/sins in my life. I think this will be a resource God will continue using well after Lent.
There is a reflection for each day that leaves a lot of food for thought and prayer. The reflection is followed up by quotes from scripture and the saints. Ken the proposes some reflection questions that help guide your prayer for that day. And finally, he ends each chapter with a prayer that seals the experience.
Another thing I appreciate is that while the daily reflections deal with sin in our lives and wounds in our lives, it carries a hopeful and triumphant tone... saturated with God's love and mercy while not sugar coating the need to fast from sin.
It is so well done and clearly inspired by the Holy Spirit. - This product is an ideal study guide for a lay person to use to de-clutter their heart of sin during Lent or another time of spiritual growth. It’s best feature is that you do not need a theology degree or even a dictionary to delve into the book and start using it right off. It seems well paced to cover the topic in 160 pages, 2-4 pages per day, over lent. I find it helpful and it even started more slowly and picked up the pace and level of detail once the reader got familiar with the program like a good course. It has helpful scripture quotes and prayer and meditation starting points.
The biggest weakness is that it doesn’t spend enough time discussing the cardinal sins and virtues themselves to raise the readers level of catechism. Unfortuately the Catholic Cathecism does not address this interest of mine in detail either. My second criticism is that the meditations themselves are short and limited to one or two per day. There should be more meditations per day because people are different and in areas of faith some approaches work better for folks than others. Perhaps the author could collaborate with others to beef up this shortcoming?
To the authors credit this book is approachable and useful, but don’t expect it to be the authoritative desk reference on sin and how to root it out of your life. It only grazes the surface of this topic and the only reference so far is Bob Schuchts’ book “Be Healed a guide to...†book. It covers a very wide field with limited depth, perhaps adhering too tightly to the two pages per day maximum model. More scholarly treatments of this subject have forced me to quit such studies in the past, because they jump right into the language of theology, start splitting hairs on the meaning of Greek words, and pontificating on the authors’ pet theories. I feel that there should be more references cited as jumping off places to deeper dives into the subject. - This book is another that simply made its way into my life. I have gone through the Lenten Journey time in the wilderness day by day and every day the Lord has met me and healed something in my life. Many times it was hidden and I did not even know I carried that hurt or that scar...but each one was exposed and gently, lovingly healed.
To the authors Thank you from the bottom of my heart ! - This book is so helpful. This book helps to get at the root cause/wound in our lives. It also helped me to focus on asking God for all the healing I need and to ask for and be open to receive. Only thing I don't like is that it is listed as 'Lenten' and that's selling it short. It is for ALL YEAR. This was the best Lent for me thanks to this book and I will continue to use this book ALL YEAR ROUND.
- A smaller book. Looks pretty intense. Day by day passages. Nice to ad to my collection.
- awesome book to help examine what motivates my actions. I'm learning a lot about myself, and how to grow into the person I want to be.
- Wonderful book that is so helpful for Lent and makes Lent more meaningful.
