COLUMBIA, S.C., Sept. 18, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a study of divine healing funded by The Centers for Disease Control, Jane Teas, Ph.D., Melinda Holland, and Georgianna Jackson found that God and prayer are not merely coping mechanisms for pain and suffering; these researchers discovered what the raw power of the Lord feels like. From over a hundred interviews with Christians in South Carolina, they compiled the best narratives in one remarkable collection, Faith that Heals: Stories of God’s Love.
These first person narratives of divine healings are about finding wholeness in our fragmented world. Beyond physical health, these healings are about finding “the peace that passeth all understanding.” Some people just asked for God’s help, like the man’s silent prayers to survive a kidnapping; a mother speaking in tongues to plead for her baby’s life; or a church unified in prayer for healing the birth defects of a newborn baby. Other times God found man, whether in the unexpected jolt of energy from being slain in the spirit, or as a voice of benediction heard in the heart. These are real stories from real people with real successes.
These Stories of God’s Love are spiritual powerhouses of strength and give testimony of God’s continual presence and love in our lives. Most of all, we learn more about who God is from 44 new personal points of truth. This is a book to treasure and share.
