The Practice of Christian Healing: A Guide for Beginners
In The Practice Of Christian Healing, Roy Lawrence guides the reader through the biblical principles and practices he and others have used in years of ministry. Readers will learn about laying on of hands with prayer, anointing with oil, exercising the ministry of deliverance, conducting healing services, suing Christian counseling and cooperating with medical professionals. Lawrence also explains how the Bible, prayer, forgiveness, giving, service, fellowship and suffering all play their part in God's healing work in our lives. In addition, Lawrence addresses the tough issues of when healing fails to take place. The Practice Of Christian Healing shows clearly that Christian healing is not magical or occultish, not limited to special gifts, not dependent on superholiness, not a form of alternative medicine, not faith healing, not weird and not theologically unorthodox. Rather, quite simply, Christian healing is the difference Jesus Christ makes in the body, mind, spirit, and life of those who take Him seriously.  --Midwest Book Review
