What readers are saying about
Healing Your Wounded Soul
No one, Christian or not, can go through life without experiencing some form of brokenness. Father Joshua's book is uniquely helpful in that it assists the person recovering from trauma along the path of recovery while keeping an Orthodox perspective, focused as it is on the wholeness of the human being as revealed in Christ. Even people who are not actively struggling with recovering from trauma should read this book, both to understand the path being trodden by their brothers and sisters and to turn over some of the stones in the dark corners of their own souls, so that the light of Christ might truly enlighten all.

Father Joshua Makoul has written a beautiful invitation and guide to healing the wounded soul-which is, in fact, all of us. His insights from psychology and the healing wisdom of the Orthodox Church are intertwined in such a way that there is no tension between them at all, as well there shouldn't be. His words radiate compassion, nonjudgment, and kindness as he lays out simple-to-apply ways to begin discerning one's woundedness, along with concrete ways to begin moving toward healing.
-Mary
Father Joshua Makoul's book Healing Your Wounded Soul was incredibly instrumental in my personal journey of healing from past trauma. It was a powerful catalyst that propelled me to look inward and face the pain and brokenness I had been carrying subconsciously for many years. It led me on a long journey in my efforts to process and master painful memories and begin a long overdue healing process. By the grace of God I am able to break away from reenacting old patterns and break the cycle of generational dysfunction, while extending forgiveness to myself and others and finding a true freedom in Jesus Christ.
