The ministry of healing prayer goes back to our deepest roots, to Jesus of Nazareth, who cared for those suffering in body and in spirit. As his followers, you are challenged - and empowered - to do the same. Author Avery Brooke tells the surprising story of healing prayer in her own life and with that of her church in Connecticut. With clarity and thoroughness, she traces the history of healing prayer, examining it as part of the larger 'landscape of prayer.' This book provides a foundation - and a wealth of practical information - for clergy and lay people to explore healing prayer in their own lives and parishes.
