Love Me Home is an invitation to go on a journey with the wounded healer Jesus Christ. It is rooted in my experience during and after the 30 day Ignatian Spiritual Exercises during which a deep childhood trauma emerged for the first time. The book combines in a unique way poetry, personal narrative, scripture, theological reflection and art.
