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.
About Lori Keesey: Her Writing Inspiration A story that Lori Keesey wrote and illustrated about three puppies lost in a hatbox piqued Lori’s interest in writing at the tender age of six. And an introduction to Scout Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird many years later sealed the deal. Lori decided then that she wanted to write…
January is Thyroid Awareness month and I missed the designated week this year due to unexpected travel and catch up. However, I didn’t want the month to go by without sharing how such a tiny gland has such a big impact on our family. According to nahypothyroidism.org, there are 300 symptoms associated with a thyroid…

Each Sunday I share an amateur nature picture of mine with a few thoughts about God’s love for you. Are you a praying person? Have you answered the call to be a prayer warrior or an intercessor? It’s not an easy assignment. In fact, without proper perspective, it can be crushing. Your job is to…
I learned a few years ago there is such a thing in faith as the pioneer. The pioneer is someone who sees/hears/reads/receives information from the Lord a little bit ahead of everyone else. It’s a lonely calling full of rejection and waiting. Then, when the masses get on board, no one remembers the prayers/decrees/proclamations the…
Ships fascinate me, whether currently afloat or sunken wrecks explored in documentaries. The Lusitania is my favorite. Imagine sailing in a ship grand enough for King Solomon and all his wives. Imagine sailing aboard in May, 1915, when a German submarine hurtled a torpedo into it. I love to cruise. My very first time aboard…
Nice review.
