The Real Faith with Annotations and Guided Readings by Bill Johnson: The Supernatural Impartation to Receive Miracles: House of Generals Revival Classics Library
Bill Johnson guides you through the book that transformed his healing ministry.
The Gospels are full of stories of supernatural healing—sight restored to the blind, the lame made to walk, and the dead raised to life. We wonder why these types of miracles aren't more prevalent in our own lives. Is it our lack of faith? Do we just need to try harder, believe more?
But these questions imply that these miracles are born out of our own efforts.
This isn’t how faith works. As Bill Johnsons says in the introduction to this special edition, "Faith is not about striving; it is about surrender."
In this unique book, Bill Johnson guides you through the work that has most influenced his own healing ministry—The Real Faith—written by Dr. Charles Price in 1940. Containing an introduction, guided notes and questions by Pastor Bill to enrich your own reading, this timeless classic by one of the great “generals” of the faith offers proven wisdom for your own journey in healing ministry.
In The Real Faith, Charles Price and Bill Johnson will invite you to think differently about faith—and therefore healing miracles. Faith
A gift from God, given to usA product of our total surrender to HimAn invitation to know God deeplyBorn out of intimacy with GodAn ongoing discovery with God
Supernatural healing, for Charles Price and Bill Johnson, is a byproduct of deep, abiding intimacy with God. As you read Dr. Price's ageless words and Pastor Bill’s remarkable insights, you’ll begin to understand that the miracles we long for are not about our own efforts, they’re a product of real faith. That is, faith given to us by Him.

Written for the heart.
For many of us that were brought up in the faith message this is Audible must read. It's so important not to get caught up in confessing the written word to make something happen while being detached from the Word Himself. This book will bring you back to the Answer-Jesus. I want to see more breakthroughs personally, more people healed, more delivered. Its only through our union with Jesus. Read this treasure and take it to heart!

Excellent book. It explains the difference between real faith and fake, make-believe faith. It explains why we often don't get answers to our prayers. It's because we don't have real faith. It explains how to get and use real faith.

The Reality of His Presence
This book helped me realize more deeply the need I have to understand the true nature of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Truth that He came to live in me…and that everything I need is found solely in Him.

I think in certain ways, this answers some of my questions about faith healings. And also affirms that you really can't *faith yourself* until it happens.
I have to think about this more.
But to really sum this book up in its core message (for me, at least) is that faith (for something specific to happen) isn't something that you work up and you try to make yourself believe. It's something that's deposited in by God and you will feel that affirmation in your spirit that tells you "it may be impossible, but since God is in it, He will do it."

A Christian classic!
Charles Price wrote “The Real Faith” many decades ago, and yet his words are as powerful and needed now as when he wrote them. The idea that real faith is the imparted faith of the Lord himself seems like a mostly foreign concept to the current church. I hope we “re-learn” how to acquire this faith now, when it is most sorely needed.

This is an expanded version of "The Real Faith." It explains how to get real faith so that your prayers can be answered.

“The whole message of the story is the fact that such healing is not dependent upon the development of a perfect faith by any processes of self at all; but rather on that contact with Jesus”
I’m doubtful that there is another book, other than the living Word, that has so deeply impacted my heart. There is doubtful another book that brought me to my knees in encounter with the Savior as I’ve read its words. Read this book with an open heart and an invitation to the Holy Spirit to speak. He will meet you! I’m changed. I want to live no life apart from my Jesus. Blessed Savior!! By grace, through his faith, we are saved, healed, and delivered. Oh what a joy when we look unto the man with fire in his eyes!!

Thought provoking treatise On faith
Through reading this book and others like it, I’ve been challenged to reconsider the traditions of my faith that may not have as strong a biblical warrant and especially a history of lending themselves to the encounter of the living God. I found the author’s view of faith to square more consistently with the teaching of the doctrine throughout the Scriptures. Again, reading books like this one that challenge my preconceive notion‘s of what things like faith mean biblically have made me dig in deeper to the Scriptures and I find myself understanding many passages much better when I borrow the view put forth in this book. In this case it was the authors view of faith that when I borrowed it for the sake of reading the Scriptures, a lot made sense that otherwise didn’t and I found that I didn’t need to explain away the clear teachings of scripture to make my previous view of faith fit. I just dictated this whole review so hopefully the grammatical mistakes aren’t as bad as I imagine they might be.

This book is an updated language version of the earlier edition that I read called simply The Real Faith by Charles S. Price. It is a mind settling breath of fresh air on the workings of God in answering prayer and bringing healing to people. The book itself inspires faith and releases those from condemnation who are experiencing delays in receiving answers to their prayers. It does not represent the thinking of the faith healers that are a part of the prosperity gospel. Outside of the Bible, it is possibly the most valuable book I have read.

A must read.
The author reveals through scripture what our hearts desires always wanted to experience, His presence through surrender.
I am sure this will be one to read often.
This is my second time through and yes, deeper revelation comes up with more knowledge. My mind is stuck on the Oneness of God manifested through Christ.

EXcellent and INSPIRING!
This is an excellent book. Never read such an inspiring book on faith. I believe I've learned more about Real Faith from the teaching of Charles Price than any of book I've read in the past.

Price helped me understand how to pray for the miraculous. Faith and what faith really is became crystal clear after reading this book.
