Even though I consider myself to be an open minded person with a serious interest in healing, this book did not convince me to take its subject seriously. After the smoke cleared, there was nothing for me to hold on to besides a lot of mumbo jumbo and factual sleight of hand. When a man claims to have been miraculously healed of cancer, he should be able to document his claim with hard facts, including x-rays, medical tests, medical testimonials by qualified professionals familiar with the case and the like. Instead, these authors say only that they don't know if Targ's original diagnosis, later not confirmed, was accurate. They brush by the main point but can't avoid its impact for rational people. It is not a great jumping off point for a book that has such pretentions of spirituality, but sadly misses the mark in that ambition as well.
