ENDORSEMENTS

I have a deep appreciation for Teresa Liebscher and her heart to see the body of Christ set free in every area of life. Her latest book The Book of Healing: A Journey to Inner Healing Through the Book of Job is an incredible and vulnerable approach to the book of Job. She does a great job of helping the reader to see another part of the story that is easy to miss or overlook. My prayer is this book helps from people all over to come to a place to experience freedom in every area of their life.

It would be impossible to overstate how much God desires us to experience the freedom He has made available to us. One thing I have always appreciated about my mom is her desire to walk with people and help them discover that freedom for themselves. In The Book of Healing: A Journey to Inner Healing Through the Book of Job, she brings to light, in a story that is so many times misunderstood, profound truths that will empower people to see God more clearly and embrace a life of health. Through years of study and practical and accessible life stories, The Book of Healing invites you to experience inner healing in a powerful and life-changing way.

Teresas book is not only a great read but a must read! For those who have been stuck in cycles of pain, Teresas ability to connect people to the Lord shines through in her understanding of the book of Job. Teresas message is clearif we see Job not as a book on suffering but inner healingwe can better understand our relationships to pain and move forward in our connection with God.

Pastor, Author and Founder/Leader of Bethel Sozo Ministry

Teresa Liebschers book is a must read. Truthfully, I have always avoided the book Of Job. When I used my Bible and read the book of Job, I never really felt safe in my world. So when in doubt I skipped it. The revelations presented in this book allow me to see Father God and talk with Him about life in a way I have never been able to do before! If you desire a deeper connection to Father God, this is definitely the book for you. No need for me to avoid Job anymore!

DR. JEFFREY BARSCH
Author and Bethel Sozo Center Counselor

A S A LEADER OF AN INTERNATIONAL INNER-HEALING ministry, I deal with many people who struggle to connect with God. They either feel stuck, lost, or hopeless. Many of these people believe lies about themselves or suffer long-held wounds from childhood. These individuals seek wholeness, healing, and normalcy. They want the path that builds and strengthens their connections with the Lord.

I wrote this book to help believers in their pursuit of Father God, the Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Studying Job, I found some information for doing this.

The Book of Healing: A Journey to Inner Healing Through the Book of Job grew out of my attempts to see Job in a new light. I am not a poetry person, so Job was always a difficult book to read. Then one day, my son gave me a copy of the Message Biblethe text translated into modern speechand it made a huge difference!

Examining Job, I realized how familiar its characters struggles felt. In many ways, their thoughts and struggles mirrored those of my clients. Even the advice from Jobs friends resembled the words my clients and I had experienced from friends and family members.

These revelations got me thinkingwhat if Job was more than just a book on human suffering? Its contents certainly dealt with the issue, but what if there were secrets inside that could bring us closer in our relationships with God?

The book of Job depicts painful circumstances and discusses the options we have for understanding it. It fails, however, to truly bring an obvious answer in how to rationalize pains existence. Perhaps this is why Job is such a frustrating book for some readers. In all the talk about why human suffering exists, neither Job, his friends, nor even God provides an answer.

Many search Job for an explanation on human sufferingbut maybe thats not the point of the book. This got me thinking: if explaining the reasons for hardship is not discussed in the book, then why was it written? Reading the story, we see it begins in heaven, then follows Job as he searches for answers, then goes to him debating his friends as they try to convince him of his sin. The story ends when God appears to present a different viewpoint.

The book begins with Gods interaction with satan in heaven and ends with Job encountering the Lord and acknowledging who He is. In-between this transformation is a busy section of theologymostly carried out by Jobs friends.

Once Job goes through his journey of discovery, he repents for living on limited knowledge of God and receives inner healing (see Job 42:6). His friends learn a lesson of who God is and Job receives more from God than he ever lost.

I could go on dissecting the story, but that would infringe on the future sections of this book. I do not wish to stir up a theological debate, but I do hope to inspire you to think differently. Perhaps Job is just a book on suffering to you, and thats fine, but maybe there is more. Possibly, by the end of this book, you will see Job as a lesson on inner healing. At the very least, I hope to encourage you to rethink a very familiar story and to see if its pages inspire you to seek a closer relationship with the Lord.
