[Michael · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found this to be a very balanced and helpful guide to a rather neglected subject in most modern Western Evangelical churches. It uses lots of biblical evidence to back up healing ministries, while also answering common concerns that many Christians would likely have about the issue of Christian healing. Highly recommended!

This book is writen by an Episcipalian so it contains some litergical things that are very interesting to someone like me who grew up Baptist. The content is biblical and on target with a Biblical/Christian Worldview. It shows how God's healing and miraculous power is always at work- even today!

[Debora Smith]

This is a very helpful book. The author is balanced, theologically aware, and answers the most common questions regarding healing. It has broadened my understanding and, though I still have some questions, has opened my receptivity to manifestations of God's working that I have not experienced.
