He Healed Them All: Accessing God's Grace for Divine Health and Healing
Healing is God’s Will! There’s no evidence in the Gospels of sickness having a divine origin or being a blessing in disguise. Jesus never withheld healing from someone who asked. He was always full of compassion to heal the sick. "...Great multitudes followed Him [Jesus], and He healed them all " (Matt 12:15 NKJV). In He Healed Them All , author Barry Bennett shares the amazing truth that Jesus still heals every sickness. The grace of God is bigger than any affliction you may be experiencing. So get your hopes up! It's never too late or too hard! Healing is always God's will. There is grace today for you to be healed!

This was a genuinely insightful read, giving me a glimpse into how things work in the American Pentecostal tradition. My own tradition is charismatic evangelical. I do have a few theological and pastoral issues with the book.
First things first, I am genuinely slightly concerned about how many people may have read this and been disused from receiving medical help on the basis of an over-realised eschatology. The book contains a bunch of anecdotes from people, including the author, who were diagnosed with cancer but cancelled their doctor’s appointments, prayed instead, and were healed. This was certainly encouraged as the norm. He doesn’t say one should never seek medical care (though if he is consistent with his own logic, I don’t know why you ever would), but he speaks negatively enough about medical care to put plenty of people off.
The writer says that denying the claim “it’s always God’s will to heal” is to choose experience over Scripture. To be fair, he is right that his interpretation is calling me to deny the evidence of my own eyes, because I know some disabled Christians far more faithful than me that have prayed for healing their whole lives but haven’t received it. However, my reasons are not fundamentally experiential: I am convinced that a number of biblical texts are tensive with this view - to which the writer does dedicate a few pages - and that this book presupposes a view of the kingdom which is underdeveloped and lacking in sophistication. The now-and-not-yet status of the kingdom is of central importance in this topic but not engaged with at all in the book.
Theology aside, this is probably the most pastorally damaging book I’ve read. I’m sorry to say that and it feels harsh, but it’s true. I’m thinking about a lady who has weeped over her sickness for years that has left her wheelchair-bound. She is often in pain and unable to complete various tasks independently, but I know that she knows and loves the Lord Jesus, and continues to pray to her beloved Saviour. I am just imagining saying to her some of the quotes from this book:
P149 “unbelief is the only force that can stop healing.”
In other words: you are actively stopping your healing with your faithlessness.
P83 “when we choose to live for others and allow the love of God to guide us… healing shall spring forth!”
In other words: since healing hasn’t spring forth, you are not living for others or for God.
P58 “We can be as free from… sickness as we choose to be.” I’m definitely not going to say this to a faithful Christian whose last 20 years has been ruined by an ongoing painful illness. (Though, based on the logic of this book, I’m not sure whether or not the writer would consider that personal a true Christian. If they were a true Christian they would have the faith that would heal them).
P39 “There should be no sick among us… we need to stir ourselves up to resist the work of the enemy.”
In other words: if you resisted the devil a bit more Margaret you’d be able to see again you silly billy. (Sorry for the sarcasm, but this is actually about as pastoral as the quote itself).
I could go on. For now, I should say that this book certainly does inspire a more energetic and confident approach to healing. People with this approach are, I think, more likely to see healing than those who are constantly doubtful. Nevertheless, the book lacks much need nuances and sophistication in its theological assessments, and those nuances are very significant. I’m thinking in particular of how it operates in very binary logical categories that resist subtle but important differences, and its various theological presuppositions, especially regarding the kingdom and eschatology. The book is also very negative about the concept of mystery - something about which the Apostle Paul is much more positive.
I’ll finish with this final -somewhat odd- quote that I didn’t quite know what to do with, found on pages 115-116. Gives me new-agey vibes:
“What do you expect for the rest of your life? What do you expect for your health? What words have filled your heart and created your expectations? What do you expect for your marriage, your children, or your job or ministry? As you look at your future, the power of expectation is that to work for you or against you. Your health can be an outcome of your attitude and expectation. If you expect to be sick, to grow old and experienced age related issues as described on TV, then that is what you will harvest. You are attracting what you expect… Expectation is an actual force that attracts according to its nature… Things in the world of the spirit will lineup with the expectation we are manifesting… Expect health and healing. Expect long life.”

The best book on God's grace for healing
I highlighted the entire book! This book is full of nuggets and answers more completely the questions believers and nonbelievers are struggling with.
He lets the Bible speak to you about each issue. He points out the ways people are missing out on this part of salvation.
Do not take my word for it. Read this! You will be blessed

Barry Bennett is one of my favorite Bible teachers, so even though this is a subject I've read and heard a lot about, I still had to pick up his book: different phrasing can make a difference in some cases. It's a very concise Biblical argument for healing, with two chapters at the end very eloquently refuting the two major Biblical objections to the doctrine (Paul's thorn in the flesh, and the book of Job). Definitely did give me some new food for thought.

This is a book that any person who just isn't quite sure of whether or not it is absolutely God's will to heal everyone ... every time ... of everything. You will finish the last page with a confidence you didn't start out with. The book is clear and concise, leaving no room for doubt about the heart of the Father towards healing. Don't let another day go by without settling this issue once and for all in your heart and mind. It is a must-read.

I've read three books on healing this year and Bennett's is the one that hit the nail on the head for me. He handles the topic from a standpoint of biblical truth waged against the lies we are told by the enemy about healing. He hits it all. I am currently in a journey with pancreatic cancer but know I am healed. Thank you Barry for your seminal work.
Share this work with any believer who is facing a health affliction. Do it today!

absolutely 5 Star
The author has done his homework and presented the information in ways that are clear, concise and believable. A book that has to be read more than once to fully appreciate all the information and truths. Well done

The truth is simple and pure. Mr. Bennett opens the word and explains it in his simple gentle way.
The truth is by His stripes we were and are healed.
Thank you.

When I started reading this book, I wasn't expecting it to be as powerful and informative as it was. This book led me to see God's healing in an entirely different way. By far the best book on healing that I have read.

Healing
A semi theology book about healing. Its easy to understand though maybe there are doctrines involved here for some people.

A hearing read.
A book full of scripture s that backs the author's words. You will want to study the words and check against the written word of the bible.

Barry makes things easy to understand. He provides many examples of healings, but what's better is seeing healing irl. I hope this book helps any reader in receiving healing.

Excellent Resource on God’s Provision

Comprehensive and backed up by scripture
A truly great book. Lots of statements that challenged or re-enforced my belief system, but every challenge was backed up by scripture.

Life changing
I really like this book. Because of it’s attention to scriptural truth. I could not see a single thing to dis`like. Every Born_again believer should prayerfully with open heart read this. It has the potential to change your life and relationship with God and fellowman

Great Introduction
Great introduction to the theology of healing. He also has an amazing show on YouTube for deeper dives, and on the gospel truth network.
