Increases faith and health, July 18, 2004
*****
A More Excellent Way has affected my life profoundly. Most of all, it has made the Bible come alive for me again, and helped me to really believe God for my healing. It is a very encouraging book. The author maintains that 80% of all illnesses have spiritual roots; if you restrict this to chronic illnesses, which allopathic medicine has little successs with, I would agree with him.
The book seems like it is a long transcription of a seminar that the author, a pastor, gives, and although it seems to ramble at times, I found everything in it useful and practical. I was greatly inspired by his digressions. He makes it clear that his very successful ministry (especially to people with MCS/EI) is in its embryonic stage, and that there is much more to learn in this area. He is very honest and straightforward.
The whole book is very Bible-based. It answers the question, "What if everything in the Bible WERE really true and for today, especially about healing?"...I know that might sound like it's a "name it and claim it" book (but it's not) or like it's a book that puts people down who get prayer but don't get instantly healed (but it's not). Instead it's a book that deals with WHY people might not be healed and practically WHAT they can do from a spiritual perspective. I do not feel condemned or put down because I have not yet been fully healed; instead I feel excited about the spiritual healing the Lord is doing and will continue to do...and so at peace about the physical manifestations and the symptoms and the pain I currently have. I look so forward to continuing to follow the healing steps of the "walk out" and to the work that the Lord is doing in my life because of this book.
The end of the book is filled with pages of testimonies (including very detailed MCS/EI testimonies) that are incredibly uplifting, even for people without this particular illness.
If you are ill, discouraged because you've received prayer but are not yet healed, need encouragement or uplifting, I strongly recommend this book. It will bless you and is well worth the money. I would suggest buying it new or in "like new" condition if you could afford it at all because it is a book you will want to refer to often and keep forever.

Contains Really Needed Information, July 8, 2004
My life has been exceedingly blessed and changed by the information in this book. I was sick for 20 years with many incurable diseases and very very miserable. I had researched many different types of christian therapies and alternative medicines to no avail. When I applied the information here i started to get better and better. I can now say without a doubt that i no longer have those diseases or problems that always plagued me. I have a life that is not ruled by doctors, medical tests and pills. The Lord has blessed me so very much.

This review is from: A More Excellent Way : A Teaching on the Spiritual Roots of Disease (Paperback)
This book was the beginning of a new life for me. I was a highly functioning, driven person until becoming sick with Chronic Fatigue at age 24. I tried everything I could to get better; Western Medicine, Chinese Medicine, vibrational medicine, special diets, tons of suppliments and pills. THOUSANDS of dollars. Nothing was permenant, and by the third year, the autoimmune Hashimoto's disease was added to the mix. I was desprate. My mom tried to get me to read this book years ago, but I rejected any thought of spiritual healing because of the quacks on TV. But once I tried everything else, I thought, "ok, what the heck." This book's teaching is nothing like the strange "healers" on TV. I didn't understand why I was sick and why God would let me stay this way. But now I do. It's the spirit-mind-body connection. Now I am a fully functioning, healthy person. Why? Because I no longer agree with Fear, Anxiety, Rebellion, Resentment, Bitterness. I was not magically healed. The health was just a byproduct of my coming into a right relationship with God. It's not about a magical formula, it's about a relationship with God the Father and with others. Henry Wright explains it thoroughly.
Also, my husband now has a bowl of cereal every morning, while he was once lactose intolerant. He identified a specific Fear and no longer accepted it. Gone was the Fear, gone was the lactose intolerance too. I also know a lady who no longer needs her glasses, and another who also was healed from Chronic Fatigue. When you read this book, be ready for a change of heart and understanding.
Yes, Henry Wright might come off as lofty at times. Don't take offense. He calls himself a "buffalo" and sometimes he might step on people's toes, but his heart is true, and his insight from God is truth. Don't worry about the KJV. I was wary about that too, but he explained it at a seminar that I went to later, and it's nothing legalistic. My bottom line...there is hope for health! Don't perish for lack of understanding. This book gives you the understanding, and it's up to you to decide what to do with it.
Some people might have a "theological" bone to pick with the
author. There is a difference between head theology and real life. Jesus functioned in real life, healing and loving people. Of course there were people that had theological problems with him too. God met me in my sickness in real life through this book and now I'm well. That is the Father God that I have grown to know. Someone could try to have a theological discussion with me as to why my healing is not real. But to me it's a moot point. I can get up in the morning and function like a normal human being. That's real and that's my life.
