This is most definitely a powerful book written by someone who authentically loves Christ, has a passion for healing ministry, and cares for the church. Though there are some holes in his theology plus some questionable takes on healing, not to mention some chapters that just seem like filler material, I believe that there's definitely a lot to get from this book.
First, Chris Gore is a passionate fellow. You can tell that his life bleeds authenticity, passion, and concern for the mission of the church. For him, his focus is primarily on physical healing. I appreciate that he's an open book about his beliefs, practices, and ministry, even open to say what hills he dies on. His greatest conviction from this book is twofold: 1) The greatest thing we can desire in this life is a growing relationship with God, and 2) God always heals, or that His will is always to heal. He gives plenty of factors into times where we pray for healing but healing doesn't occur, explaining that many prayers aren't answered right in front of someone, but some miracles happen over time.
Second, Chris has a lot of Bethel theology. I mean, from what I can tell he's very connected with the Johnson family. I love Bethel, I personally believe God is on the move through them. Though I do not see eye to eye with their doctrine or beliefs, I do appreciate the difference they're making in people's lives, including my own. And I believe that miracles do happen there. I wouldn't say I am skeptical; just have some genuine doubts and concerns, but that's for another review.
Here's one of the major things I don't agree with, which has to do with doubts: Chris Gore believes that to have faith, you cannot doubt. Doubt, to him, is the opposite of faith. There is some legitimacy to doubt contending against faith at times, but I also believe that doubt can mature faith. I'd argue that certainty is more closely the opposite of faith, for when you are stuck in your belief of something, you aren't giving any room for that to change. Hardened hearts remain dead; softened hearts come alive.
I guess where I'm getting at is this book gives plenty of great points, which makes sense because Chris Gore has a furious passion for God to do a healing work in the lives of broken, hurting people. That is also backed by a furious love for Christ Jesus. I just think that some of the hills he dies on (like doubt being the opposite of faith) aren't necessarily correct. That said, he's got a lot of beautiful moments of seeing God do physical healing through his ministry, and while we can question the legitimacy of that, one thing must reign in our hearts here: God is a miraculous God, and this book reminds us of that. He can do all things, and He partners with us feeble, finite humans to do impossible things. We need resources like this book to remember the beautiful, adventurous, supernatural side of God, believing that He wants to do supernatural works to manifest the glory of the Gospel of Jesus Christ on this side of eternity.
With all the ups and downs of this book, I'd still suggest it to those who are wanting to know more about the ministry of physical healing, and to those who desire to step into that more.

I was given this book to read and while I generally avoid books on healing I thought I'd at least give it a go out of respect for the person recommending it. I'm not sure I made it half way due to contradictions surrounding healing, verses out of context, and making things up.
In one bit Chris emphasises healing is not about us and our performance or amount of faith but about Jesus which is true. He then spend time discussing all about doubts and our beliefs that can stop our 'breakthrough'. Chris never defines what he means by 'breakthrough' but in context it seems to be synonymous with 'being healed' and being healed means being healthy. Jesus doesn't want you to be sick (possibly true), therefore you will be healed in this life (provably false scripturally and experientially). Unfortunately Chris fails to recognise the blatantly obvious question that comes from anyone that asks, 'Well why didn't he heal...(fill in name here)?".
As someone wrestling with how faith and healing connect while looking after a severely disabled daughter, this is a book I'd recommend be avoided. Yes I still believe God can heal and sometimes does miraculously even today, but that is in his grace and not a thing to be assumed as 'my breakthrough'. We wrestle with God's will and purpose, even in suffering, and somehow in suffering we find comfort in the fact that Christ suffered and only after death was he healed, and even then he was left with scars. The author needs to spend more time engaging with the suffering of the saints rather than proof-texting verses and making up things by appealing to 'the original language' (p. 56, Zacharias' prayer and response to the angel in Luke 1 does not insinuate he ever stopped praying for a child as Chris claims).
TL;DR: Avoid.

I like books that stretch my mind and make me think. I like books that push me out of my comfort zone and urge me to greater faith. I like books that make me ask, "Is that right?" and compel me to get out my Bible and check things out. So this book caused me to dig into Scripture and... wonder.
Some notes: Peter means "stone", but beyond that "law". Hmmm... maybe Cephas does, but even then it's doubtful. John means "beloved", but beyond that "grace". Hmmm, again. (p17) Ruth means "beauty" as well as "friend". Orpah means "stiff-necked" or "double-minded". (p117)
Despite my doubts about the foregoing, I really loved the thought that healing is not about us, or our performance - it's all about Jesus in us and through all of us. (p43)
And as for the interpretation of Galatians 2:16 (usually "a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Christ Jesus", but now often "of Christ Jesus" - thus looking to His faith, not ours!) - wow! I've thought this for a long time but never found a succinct explanation before. (p39f)
The woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:34 is not so much told, "Go in peace," as "Go into peace." (p66)
Jesus is called 'Son of David" 17 times in the New Testament. (p86)
One of the greatest obstacles to healing is not lack of faith but the presence of doubts. (p103)
We have to beware of loving what we do for Jesus more than we love Jesus. (p121)
"Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever" (Psalm 119:111). If we don't testify to healing, we are taking glory from God. (p102)

This book is a good primer to those interested in biblical healing. Not a scholarly work by any means, it is one mans understanding of how to operate in he healing ministry. Coupled with other books on the subject, it is one of several books I would recommend on the subject.

This book helps any believer in Christ to walk in the healing power. It helps you realise that healing power is not just for a selected few, but is available for all believers.

Great book for opening eyes to how easy it can be to see healings in your life. But I found it repetitive at times.

If your are looking to get a revelation of how understanding who you are in Christ can change who you ARE, then you should read this book. Each of us is able to walk in supernatural healing power when we know who we are. This is our destiny and not just for the ones we perceive as "anointed" for this work. When we realize that Jesus really does live in us as we live in Him, His power is released through us to heal. Begin your journey!

Hard Read
Given this author's participation in the Celtic brothel church I did not enjoy this read at all. Why did I read it then? It was part of the reading for a study on God's healing. We dropped it after a few chapters
