This book takes a lot of the sort of insights in Be Healed and applies them in a structured way to the sacraments. A great deal of the content is mapping Schuchts' "seven deadly wounds" onto the sacraments that convey the graces most directly concerned with healing them.

I was most engaged with the chapters on confirmation, marriage, and anointing of the sick, the last most of all. In Schuchts' interpretation, anointing of the sick combats the wound of hopelessness, and I feel that very keenly. "Nothing I do will ever matter. It will never be good enough. I can't get better." And, of course, eternal life is far too much to hope for. The exercises at the end of that chapter I actually applied to my sense of hopelessness about my vocation as a...what? Writer? Scholar? Farmer? Consultant? What should I do with my desire to tell stories? To solve complex problems in physical science? To be economically self-reliant and an example in that for others? I don't know, and I'm sure I'll make the wrong choice. Thinking about how God intends to heal me of hopelessness has given me perspective on that.

The chapter on marriage is not going to do much by itself if your marriage is in trouble. There are certainly notes that it strikes that you could take to other sources devoted specifically to the subject of troubled and broken marriages.
