Homewords -October 1992.
In an area often marred by extravagance and man-made theories it is good to come across worthwhile prayers based on a recognition that "this perfect health" enjoyed by the lame man healed at the entrance to the Temple will one day be the inheritance of us all. Meanwhile we can look to the saving and healing power of our Creator and Redeemer - and this modest paperback will help us to do that.
W C Nelson - Life and Work, January 1988
This book of prayers has a freshness, and it gives the impression of expecting to be used. The scope of the book is impressive - individual and family prayers for healing - corporate prayers - using the Bible in prayers for healing, and anointing. It is called a practical and pastoral handbook. Healing groups, and all who are involved in the ministry of healing in any, would find this book to be a strong guide.
From the Publisher
For your worship resources section. Could be very helpful for leading a service at hospital or in a nursing home.
From the Back Cover
To help you pray for others as well as for yourself. A practical and pastoral handbook, newly revised. "While this book is about offering prayers to God for healing, I want to affirm as emphatically as I can that what matters in the ministry of prayer for healing is what God does. Our role in that ministry is to trust him and to cooperate obediently with him."
