From chronic physical pain to deep emotional hurts, we are all, at some level, in need of healing. And healing, writes author Stephen Arterburn, is a choice, although not our choice-it is God's choice. While that may lead us to understand that healing is out of our hands, there are several things we do or believe that can stand in the way of God's healing in our lives. Describing ten choices we can make, and the corresponding ten lies that we must reject, Arterburn outlines the plan for opening our lives to God's divine touch. For example, to be receptive to God's healing, we must make the choice to feel; but we often buy into the lie that we need something to help numb the pain. Likewise, we can choose to embrace reality; but we often falsely believe that if we act as if nothing is wrong, the problem will go away. Healing on all levels-spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical-is a miraculous gift from God; but it is a function of our own decisions and beliefs as well. When we make the right choices, and reject the lies, we can find the way to wholeness again.

The Healing is a Choice Today trade book centers on the 10 choices you must make and 10 lies you must reject to ensure you are not standing in God's way of ensuring His healing powers for you. This 10-week devotional companion will explore topics designed to encourage and motivate readers to focus on the choices that enable true healing. Each daily devotional will include at least one quote, a "Healing is a Choice for Today" devotional (200 words), Scriptures to support the material, and then a takeaway thought to help the reader concentrate on the "choice" and help them to deny the "lie" around that particular topic.
