The Disease and the Cure

About this book

The Disease and the Cure addresses the wounds that cannot be seen: the effects of sin, habit, and moral failure on the human heart. Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya begins by diagnosing the sources of spiritual illness, then directs the reader toward repentance, reform, and a restored relationship with the Creator. His candor can be demanding, but it serves a therapeutic purpose, insisting that no disease of the heart is beyond treatment. The work remains a practical companion for readers seeking to understand their inner struggles, recover lost tranquility, and move from the constriction of illness toward the spaciousness of remedy.
