"Do You Want to Get Well?: Help and Healing in Pastoral Therapy — Examples from the Practice of Jesus", the work of German theologian and pastor Walter Wanner, is an exceptionally comprehensive and practical manual focused on the field of Christian counseling, spiritual therapy, and pastoral care. Starting from the key biblical question that Jesus asks the sick man at the pool of Bethesda — "Do you want to get well?" —, the author builds a holistic approach to the suffering person, emphasizing that every true healing begins with personal choice, courage, and the will to change. In the book, Wanner skillfully combines the insights of contemporary psychology and psychotherapy with the richness of the gospel message and Christian tradition. Through an analysis of specific New Testament encounters and Jesus' relationship with the sick and oppressed, the author analyzes the causes of inner blockages, repressed traumas, feelings of guilt, and spiritual resignation that often prevent a person from accepting the fullness of life. The book also provides practical methods of pastoral conversation, teaching how to actively listen, recognize the root of the problem, and direct the person towards God's healing and inner liberatory transformation. Written in a clear, professional, and at the same time extremely empathetic style, this study is an indispensable reading and manual for priests, pastoral workers, psychotherapists, but also for all individuals who are going through periods of personal crisis and are seeking a path towards complete physical, mental, and spiritual health.
