I meant to read Benedict J. Groeschel's Healing the Original Wound, as meditation. I planned to read a few pages a day and then reflect on what I'd read. However, Groeschel's style more often than not, seduced me into reading more. He is funny, clear, and easy to relate.
Our original wound is in Genesis. It's that pull towards concupiscence. Groeschel tells us how to overcome ourselves. In fact, he says that our distractions and everyday nonsense helps us be better. Yes, in fact, every time we turn away from it all and turn towards God, we are proving that we choose God.
Groeschel shows us Christ's presence in our daily lives and how His salvation is waiting for us. Father tells us stories of the people he has ministered to, and gives us hope.
His style is easy, personable, and funny.
