Stories That Heal
Book • 1996
This book, written by Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen, is a compilation of approximately eighty short stories from her counseling practice, primarily with cancer patients.

It addresses spiritual issues like suffering, meaning, love, faith, and miracles.

The stories are organized into themes such as 'Life Force,' 'Judgement,' 'Traps,' 'Freedom,' and 'Mystery and Awe.' Dr. Remen's unique perspective, derived from her background as a physician, professor, therapist, and patient, invites readers to listen from the soul and appreciate the power and mystery of life.

The book emphasizes that life itself heals and that each experience, however painful or inexplicable, is part of the tapestry of our lives.
