Synopsis

In this book, Ron Roth explains how the body and mind cooperate in the healing process. Because mental programming creates results in our life, we need to begin by healing subconscious attitudes. This book is not so much a study of how to heal, but rather how to stop blocking the flow of life.

Review

Rather than burden readers with scientific studies, Ron Roth assumes in Holy Spirit for Healing that readers already believe in the power of the body to heal itself through prayer and faith. From this guiding principle, Roth offers a practical manual for understanding how our actions (and our inactions) can lead to illness and disease. "When I talk about healing and the role of prayer, I'm talking from a holistic viewpoint, meaning that the Spirit of God can move and heal and restore you instantly," Roth promises. But it's still up to you to "eat properly, exercise, and take care of yourself and maintain that joy that's part of being free." Herein lie the greatest merits of this guidebook, namely the way in which Roth emphasizes life as a joint venture between you, your body, and God: all three have to work together to restore and maintain health. Roth relies on Christian teachings and biblical scripture to outline this triad of spiritual medicine. Chapters focus on all aspects of health, from the spiritual realm (taking care of "past hurts" and "choosing life" at every turn) to the physical. For instance, Roth offers a beautiful chapter on caring for a sick person by anointing the body with oil and offering biblical readings, such as Ephesians 4:23 and Romans 12:2. --Gail Hudson
