In The Spirituality That Heals, pastor and Bible teacher Dr. Michael Youssef introduces readers to God's provision for their deepest needs: the manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit. And he directs readers to the unique spiritual pursuit that has the power to restore them and their relationships.
The fruit of the Holy Spirit is not a list of behaviors that must be followed. Rather, it's a divine pattern for wholeness in life that we willingly adopt. As readers let go of their self-directed life and submit to the Holy Spirit, they'll find that their hurts, damaged relationships, memories, emotions, doubts, anger, and fear are healed.
The fruit of the Spirit–love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control–is the source and the definition of true healing, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. It is the only spirituality that can heal us.
