It’s been awhile since I’ve done a book review, yet I’ve been reading quite a bit.
Bethany House Book Reviews sent me Bill Johnson and Randy Clark’s Essential Guide to Healing: Equipping All Christians to Pray for the Sick. This was an easy to read book that contained practical yet Biblical instruction and examples from the mens’ experiences. They admit they aren’t God nor do they have anything perfected. But as a woman who believes in Jesus’ name we can move mountains, I appreciated the material in this book.
I think this is a must have for prayer warriors and those with a heart for the sick
The Bible is full of accounts of miraculous healing. And God is moving as amazingly today as he was back then. Thousands are being healed all over the world–and his children are part of it.
For the first time, premier renewal leaders Bill Johnson and Randy Clark team up to equip Christians to minister healing. Grounded from start to finish in Scripture, Johnson and Clark lay out the rich theological and historical foundation for healing in the church today. Full of inspiring stories, this book offers practical, proven, step-by-step guidance to ministering healing, including how to • understand the authority of the believer in healing • create an atmosphere of faith • receive words of knowledge • implement the five-step model of healing prayer
The ministry of healing is not reserved for a select few. God’s miraculous healing is part of the Good News–and every believer can become a conduit for his healing power.
I know prayer of any magnitude can be abused. I’ve seen it. There is nothing in this book that reads deceptive, if anything, the five point model helps people avoid taking advantage or inadvertently operating in the flesh. I walked away feeling a responsibility to pray with some key points and verses in mind, and not wait for a pastor, an elder or someone smarter than me to pray for someone.
If you’re an intercessor with a heart for the sick, this book is a must have. I’m really glad I chose this book.
Yep, Saturday. Time to bare my soul with Character Confessions. (Please note, although I’m not a fair go-er, this is written in tongue-in-cheek. Mostly.) If you, my non-Ohio friends, don’t hear from me after this post, please alert someone important. I’ve most likely been tied to a pole and forced to participate…
This reminds me of my FaithWriter days when we had weekly challenges with a theme. It really stretched me as there were genres and themes I would otherwise never would have tried. This vision came to me this week, and I thought it was a thought-provoking parable. Something different to post. I pray that you…
The Promise Box is Tricia Goyer’s second book in the Seven Brides for Seven Bachelors series, and another Montana based Amish love story. Every year, young Amish men descend on the cozy little town of West Kootenai, Montana, arriving in the spring to live there for six months and receive ‘resident’ status for the hunting…

Last week I shared my utter frustration with fellow shipmates during a recent cruise. I promised to write about the opposite of their selfishness and today is the day. Of all the things I could walk off a cruise and be impacted by, I returned home stunned. It wasn’t the food, the shopping, or the…
When I really want to relax, I’m by water, and I’m reading. Whether it’s my pool deck or the sands at Presque Isle in Erie, my stress melts away and I’m transported to fiction world. I love creating those worlds for readers, and when I can share it with you. I’m part of a promotion…
Nice review.
