Synopsis

In this revised edition of Francis MacNutt's popular handbook on prayer for healing, which was first published in 1981 and has sold over 150,000 copies, MacNutt introduces the idea that God still heals and that all followers of Jesus can become instruments of that healing power. MacNutt, an internationally known Christian healing minister and spokesperson, describes how to begin praying for healing, how to be patient in prayer, and how to pray in your own words. All Christians are invited to pray for hurting family members and friends. MacNutt's open, appealing style and personal stories build upon the Scripture references and scholarly studies on healing in order to empower believers to confidently imitate Jesus here and now.
