From the Back Cover

Is Healing for Everyone?

God is not just "able" to heal, He is willing! The Lord is gracious and compassionate, and He longs to give you all the blessings of redemption, including physical healing. He is Jehovah–Rapha, the God who heals you (Exodus 15:26).

Why is this blessing of divine healing the source of much confusion in the church? What does the Bible really say about healing? Explore this controversial topic with author F. F. Bosworth as he carefully searches the Scriptures for answers to perplexing questions such as . . .

* Is healing really possible today?
* Is healing for everyone?
* What was Paul's "thorn in the flesh"?
* How is a person supposed to receive healing?
* Can I receive healing?

"Faith begins where the will of God is known," says the author. By understanding God's will for your healing, you can live in the fullness of your salvation in Christ––spirit and body. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

I highly recommend you get this book. Just make sure that you purchase ISBN: 0800757394, the one with the black cover and yellow writing. The other edition is a modern "update" that has the power of Bosworth's teaching stripped from it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Physical healing is part of the blood atonement of Christ., October 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Christ, the Healer (Paperback)

This book is a collection of sermon's by F.F.Bosworth in which he teaches the promise and provision of healing for the physical body as part of the blood atonement of Christ. This book forever settles whether or not it is God's will to heal every sufferer.

F.F. Bosworth calls the believer back to a simple faith in the word of God especially those promises which pertain to healing. He shows that healing is available to "whosoever will believe" and provides the scripture references and strategies for appropriating healing. He also addresses and soundly dispels the arguements that some in the church community use to discourage a full trust in the provision of healing.

Complete with testimonies of miraculous healings, this book is a must read for anyone needing divine intervention in their physical body as well as for the believer who wants to be able to effectively pray for the sick. If it were mandatory reading for every pastor, the Church would certainly be a more powerful witness to the love and salvation of Christ. Most highly recommended!

This review is from: Christ the Healer (Paperback)

FF Bosworth has written the definitive work on God's healing power and His will to heal all believers. If anyone has ever doubted God's will to heal everyone who asks, this is the book to read.

Relying solely on the Word of God, Bosworth clearly makes the case for divine healing. Page after page, the evidence mounts until the reader, at some point, relents under the weight of that evidence and says. "I believe!" When Christ suffered and died on the cross, He bought our salvation and our healing, once and for all.

If Smith Wigglesworth were alive and read this text, he would surely exclaim, "Amen!" At any rate, I'm glad Kenneth E. Hagin did read Christ the Healer and pointed me to it.

There are some extras in this edition: 22 Reasons Why Some People Aren't Healed, Testimonies, and Thirty-One Questions about divine healing.

This is more than Christian classic - it is a field manual for daily devotions, warfare and victory.
