What People Are Saying
“From years of counseling men and women, Dr. Breuninger has a keen sense of what binds people and how the bondage and their woundedness prohibit them from living fully human lives. . . . He provides a model for the reader that leads us to a place of freedom and wholeness. . . . Dr. Breuninger leads us to an encounter with Jesus so we may experience the freedom He has won for us.”
DAVE PIVONKA, TOR
President, Franciscan University of Steubenville
“Dr. Matthew Breuninger is a true co-worker of healing in the Lord’s vineyard. In Finding Freedom in Christ, he beautifully integrates sound psychological science, the wisdom of the Twelve Steps, and the riches of our Catholic faith to chart a sure path for healing. As a result, Finding Freedom in Christ will challenge, enlighten, and console readers who hunger for God’s healing touch in their lives. I encourage all those hesitating to open this book with the words of Pope St. John Paul II: ‘Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors to Christ!’”
ANDREW J. SODERGREN, PSY.D.
Director of Psychological Services, Ruah Woods Institute
“In a world filled with so much woundedness and pain, Dr. Breuninger offers us hope—the hope of Christ! The steps contained in Finding Freedom in Christ are practical and powerful, sure to help you shed the shackles of your wounds and bring you into the freedom that God desires for you.”
MATT FRADD
Host of the Pints with Aquinas Podcast
“Dr. Matthew Breuninger beautifully explores how the wounds we carry, heavy and hurting, can be healed by recognizing and fully embracing God’s abundant and perfect love. Without over-spiritualizing the ways to find healing (and making note of the need for mental health professionals), Dr. Breuninger examines how, step by step, we can seek perfect healing not simply by trying hard and grinning and bearing it, but instead by going through a clear process of naming, claiming, and moving beyond the hurts we carry and seeing God for who He is, and thus coming to see ourselves more fully. As someone who deals with anxiety, and regularly goes to therapy, Dr. Breuninger’s book provided additional excellent insight into how I can find healing from past hurts and seek comfort in the loving arms of the Lord, who loves me in my woundedness and seeks to bring me beyond it. I loved this book, and think it is a great resource for Catholics longing to find healing.”

Our God is different
He is all about looking for us, looking for the one lost sheep. And. what might he want us to know once he finds us? That we are free. God has always wanted his people to know we are free.

<p>This book is AMAZING! Dr. Breuninger lays out a path to true healing, not just temporary feel good “healing”. Anyone who has had any type of serious injury knows that healing isn’t comfortable, why would we expect the same with our mental wounds? “Finding Freedom in Christ” is not a comfortable book to read, but the self discovery and peace at the end is well worth it! I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to work toward a deep inner peace and deeper relationship with Christ and others.</p>
