With the gentleness gained from years of ministering to the needs and wounds of others, Bob Schuchts introduces you to the healing power of the sacraments in a powerfully eye opening way. Be Transformed explains how the graces from all seven sacraments impact your daily life and how they can heal deep wounds of rejection, confusion, and abandonment. In doing so, you come to understand your true identity in Christ. After reading this book, you will realize that your deepest longings are themselves a longing for the sacraments. Christopher West, Founder and president of The Cor Project, Cofounder of the Theology of the Body Institute For many people, the sacraments stand at a distance as a formality to the Christian life. Not fully understanding the ministry of Christ, the apostles, and the Church over the past two thousand years, many are unaware of what and who the sacraments really are and the powerful role they play in the life God designed for each of us. In this book, Bob Schuchts has recaptured the meaning and beauty of the sacraments and the powerful work of Christ through them. Be Transformed is a book that will stand the test of time and truly transform peoples lives. This book has renewed my faith in Christ and the Church and instilled in me a new vigor for the sacraments, and Im certain it will for you! Paul George, Founder of Adore MinistriesWhat a beautifully simple and transforming book! Sadly, many Catholics dont understand and, importantly, dont experience the full grace and power contained in the sacraments. God desires to transform, heal, and make holy his people, and he so often chooses to bring this about in the sacraments of the Church. With each sacrament, Bob Schuchts marvelously reveals the often unseen healing grace contained within the sacraments. He goes on to show that this grace is present for all people who open their hearts to receive it. Rev. Dave Pivonka, T.O.R., Author ofBreath of GodBe Transformed offers a fresh and original way of understanding the ancient Catholic tradition that the sacraments heal the wounds of fallen human nature. In a world where so many have experienced deep hurts, this book is exactly what is needed! Through personal testimonies and clear explanations, Schuchts shows how every one of the sacraments can be the means of a personal encounter with the Lord Jesus, the physician of our souls and bodies. Mary Healy, Author of Men and Women Are from Eden Bob Schuchts has masterfully illumined the healing and restorative power of the sacraments these transforming rivers of grace that bring us into the abundant life. For lifelong Catholics or anyone who has ever wondered, Does anything really happen to me when I receive the sacraments? this book is for you! Sr. Miriam James Heidland, S.O.L.T., Catholic speaker and author of Loved As I Am
