Hal?k calls upon us to follow the apostle Thomas's example: to see the pain, suffering, and poverty of our world and to touch those wounds with faith and action. It is those expressions of love and service, Hal?k reveals, that restore our hope and the courage to live, allowing true holiness to manifest itself. Only face-to-face with a wounded Christ can we lay down our armor and masks, revealing our own wounds and allowing healing to begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeaving together deep theological and philosophical reflections with surprising, trenchant, and even humorous commentary on the times in which we live, Hal?k offers a new prescription for those lost in moments of doubt, abandonment, or suffering. Rather than demanding impossible, flawless faith, we can look through our doubt to see, touch, and confront the wounds in the hearts of our neighbors and--through that wounded humanity, which the Son of God took upon himself--see God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom?s Hal?k\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 026820490X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268204907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Tom?s Hal?k","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46110945018111,"sku":"9780268204907","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1681c9c9-dddd-4fef-b5a0-d6b872a94a0a.jpg?v=1725470222","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/touch-the-wounds-toms-halk-9780268204907","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
