Publisher Description
When life seems to conspire against you, how do you find the courage to dive into Healing Waters?
When Lucia Coffey looks at her reflection, she sees fat and failure. When she looks at her sister Sonia, she sees svelte and success. When she looks at God, she sees that divine love can't possibly be doled out equally. All her life, Lucia has coped by throwing herself into taking care of those who seem more worthy of God’s goodness, and feeding the dreams she has buried alive.
But when tragedy strikes Lucia’s family, she meets Sullivan Crisp—a decidedly offbeat psychologist who is trying to cope with his own shattered past. They form an alliance to try to hold her family together and, in the process, both tentatively dip their toes into the waters of healing. Step by faltering step they wade in, forging an unlikely community and digging deep for the courage to face a lurking danger that could pull them under . . . or remind them what it’s like to dance on the waves.

"This was a book you could call Christian fiction, but the underlying spiritual message was subtle and fit well with the storyline. I really liked the characters and was satisfied with the fairly realistic ending, especially since it was a happy one without wading into that "Hollywood" perfect kind of ending."
— Erica (4 out of 5 stars)
Healing Waters Listener Reviews
-
" Outstanding novel. I couldn't say anymore!! "
— Tonya, 2/18/2014 -
" This was a great sequel to Healing Stones. Steven Arterburn does a great job tackling personal issues but putting them in the form of a novel instead of a self-help book. "
— Laura, 1/28/2014 -
" I had never read this author, but really enjoyed it. It had mystery, thoughts on religion and recovering and handling life. It was a great read. "
— Jodi, 1/17/2014 -
" I enjoyed this book. Really gave me a lot to think about. "
— Shelley, 12/29/2013 -
" Loved the charactes and the humor. This is one of those books with characters whom you miss when it is over. "
— Alisha, 12/26/2013 -
" I didn't like it quite as much as Healing Stones, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. The characters were intriguing, and the story line was thought provoking. I enjoyed going through the healing process--spiritually and emotionally--with Lucia, the main character. "
— Lorrie, 12/22/2013 -
" This book was way better than I expected from these authors. It was depthy and caught my interest early on. Wonderful book! "
— Hannah, 12/16/2013 -
" This is a great book that goes through some of the healing that happens or should happen after childhood pain or current tragedies. This was co-written by Stephen Arterburn of "New Life Live". I really liked it and thought it was well written. "
— Lura, 12/15/2013 -
" Nancy Rue's engaging prose, realistic dialogue and storytelling acumen, combined with Stephen Arterburn's knowledge of psychology and experience as a counselor, make for fiction which is difficult to put down. "
— Laurie, 12/10/2013 -
" I actually enjoyed this book much more than I expected. I was able to identify with Lucia and liked that fact that though the book had an underlying theme of religion it never actually went over the top. "
— Ginger, 11/18/2013 -
" i really enjoyed these 2 books in the series-real characters with real problems not so easily fixed. I also enjoyed the fact that at the end of the books all the issues were not conveniently "solved" as in some Christian fiction. "
— Raelynn, 11/3/2013 -
" Pretty intense book but once I got through it I really enjoyed it. "
— Kathryn, 10/23/2013 -
" Great read! The plot line was not predictable at all - great "food for thought" in this one. "
— Connie, 7/14/2013 -
" This was a great book that I could not put down. I could really relate to Lucia! "
— Sue, 6/29/2013 -
" This book was really good, though at first it didn't catch my inner reader, as you go through the book it really takes ya in! Was a great read! "
— Jessica, 5/20/2013 -
" I am really enjoying this book so far. It's about relationships, tragedy, and courage. "
— Barbara, 1/24/2013 -
" great book - even better than Healing Stones which was fabulous. "
— Rosemary, 10/1/2011 -
" This book wasn't what i expected it to be. I was looking more of a book for self-improvement (not sure if that would be the right word) It had some good insights on religion and self-esteem issues. "
— Kari, 6/20/2011 -
" Wow - this was a very intriguing book. It is difficult to come to terms with all of the emotions Lucia is facing. "
— Heidi, 7/12/2010 -
" The first book in the Sullivan Crisp series was so much better but this was still worth reading. I look forward to the next book they come out with! "
— Sarah, 2/22/2010 -
" Life is hard. People you love betray you. But there can be healing, if you are willing to work on it and let God and others help you. "
