Excellence,

This review is from: Essential Guide to Healing, The (Paperback)
Essential Guide to Healing, TheI am a Baptist pastor with over 20 years of experience. This is the best book on praying for healing that I have ever read. The section on how to deal with disappointment when our prayers for healing are not answered the way we want is the best teaching on this subject that I have ever read. This book is anointed by the Holy Spirit. I just finished praying for someone to be healed following the teaching in the book and the person was healed.

He heals - not us...,
By
This review is from: Essential Guide to Healing, The (Paperback)
I have just completed two books that I received from Chosen Books a division of Baker Publishing Group. Both address issues I once thought I understood, but in the last couple of years I have found myself questioning.The Essential Guide to Healing Equipping All Christians to Pray for the Sick by Bill Johnson and Randy Clark contends that: "God's miraculous healing is part of the Good News, and you, too, can become a powerful conduit for the healing power He loves to manifest." Both Clark and Johnson share personal stories about witnessing God's healing power. The middle section of the book uses scripture to explain and at times defend that healing demonstrates the gospel of the Kingdom of God, as applicable today as it was two thousand years ago. I know this is true, and even though this covers a supernatural subject I can't help sensing the bias of the author's human understanding. Far too often we interpret God's Word to suit our own beliefs instead of our beliefs being shaped by the Word itself. The third part of the book is practical teaching on the practice of healing. Once again I found myself disturbed as I read about following patterns that have worked for others or that were successful in the past. I don't believe that Jesus followed a particular set of rules or patterns when He healed, in fact scripture shows us that He healed the same ailments (blindness for example) in a variety of ways. The idea that the ministry of healing is not reserved for a select few is appealing indeed. We all want to feel that God would choose to move through us. It is important however to remember that God is the only One Who heals even when He uses our hands. I will return to this book again as I continue to seek God's heart and understanding about this topic. I have much to learn, but desire that the majority of that teaching comes directly from the Master. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Chosen Books. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I shall be back soon with my review of The Promise of Provision by Derek Prince.

This is the best book available today on Healing,
By J. D. Shaffer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Essential Guide to Healing, The (Paperback)
I have read many books on healing and on healing evangelists. I have read and studied up on Wigglesworth, Lake, all the greats from the Voice of Healing era (summarized very well in "God's General"), John Wimber, a whole slew of books and people from Bethel Church (Bill Johnson's church) and even listened to Randy Clark teach for 7+ hours on Healing and Impartation.But I have to say out of literally thousands of pages and hundreds of hours of videos and audio on the subject, this book truly is the ESSENTIAL book on the subject. Pastors Randy and Bill have managed to summarize the entire area of healing in one fairly-short and very easy to read book. They succinctly summarize the theology behind it (and where the theology had digressed over the years). They clearly explain how and why God heals today, and they even teach very honestly and plainly on how to receive words of knowledge (one way God speaks to His children today). This book is priceless. And I will personally recommend it to anyone and everyone as the BEST book available today on the subject of Healing. Save yourself lots of hunting and searching for the nuts and bolts of healing, and check out this gem. 26 of 28 people found the following review helpful

The Essential Guide to Healing,
By Rev. Dr. Thomas A Litteer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Essential Guide to Healing, The (Paperback)
If you have a passion to see more of the love and power of God in your life and your church, then this book is for you. Randy Clark and Bill Johnson provide a biblically centered guide for the supernatural lifestyle that is the inheritance of every follower of Jesus Christ. Their ministries of healing the sick are evidence that the miracles of First Century Christianity have not come to an end. Pastors Bill and Randy are committed to sharing with the rest of us what God has given them; calling the church back to a ministry of power that draws the hearts of the people to God, heals bodies, and sets people free by the work of the Holy Spirit. I am grateful to them both for their efforts to equip the church for a life of miracles. What is different about this book compared to so many others written about healing ministry is that you can read this book today and begin praying for the sick tomorrow with a keen understanding of the reasons why healing ministry is so important for the present-day church. It contains all you need to get started.In all my years of study at Fuller Seminary in preparation for ordination in the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA)and in my work for my D.Min., I have seen no one deal with the Scriptures more faithfully than Randy Clark and Bill Johnson. This book is going to have a powerful influence on the Church of Jesus Christ throughout the world for years to come. Rev. Dr. Thomas A Litteer 20 of 22 people found the following review helpful

Great Book on Divine Healing,
By Donald C. Mann "Author of OK, God, Now What?" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Essential Guide to Healing, The (Paperback)
For those who have been studying divine healing in the name of Jesus Christ this book is a great asset to understanding how the healing message has developed in these two authors. Their healing style reflects the Vineyard/Toronto approach more than the John G. Lake/Curry Blake or other approaches. I suspect it is a snapshot of where they were at the time of this writing, but will grow even more as we get closer to our model, Jesus, in ministering healing. The format is different chapters by the two authors so you get a slightly different flavor on the topics. Both have been involved in the healing ministry and in training others for healing so the content appears to be directed at what these two experienced workers have learned it takes to get Christians activated in performing this key ministry of Jesus. The book uses much testimony on both how each got started in the divine healing ministry, and how they are now practicing it with individuals to large crusades and groups. The explanation on how critical divine healing is to the Gospel is excellent. They describe how ministers operate in situations with individuals, groups, meetings and crusades. I was glad to see reference to prayer sessions that ran from instant (1-5 minutes) to 20 minutes to 5 hours. The teaching on how to use the word of knowledge with healing is very good.
