5.0 out of 5 stars An encouraging, biblical book on healing. January 14, 1997

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

This is not a splashy, sensational account of testimonies to
healing. Testimonies there are, but Wimbers excellent handling
of the subject of healing is presented, not as evidence of the
insights and abilities of Wimber, but, as Richard Foster
comments in the Introduction, as a reminder "that at the very heart of
God is the desire to give and forgive. [This] book encourages
us to believe that God is good and that he desires to pour out his
goodness into our hearts and lives." (p. xi)

It would be difficult to recommend a more biblically-based
book on healing that is also as practical and honest.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books in Healing and Deliverance June 6, 2005

By Gerald Khoo VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

This would be one of the best books in the area of healing and deliverence. In the early Pentecostal days with lots of healings and deliverance taking place, what came lacking was the theology to healing and deliverance, and John Wimber wrote Power Healing at a time where a strong renewal theology in healing and deliverance was needed. This is not a book like those you get from the "Word of Faith" movements. This book is solidly grounded on the Word of God, not denying the reality of life, but faces them head on. This book deals with some very difficult issues, e.g. "Can Christians be demon possessed?" and "Why are all not healed?"

I appreciate John's humility in writing this book, not as an expert, but as a practitioner discovering the heart of God in this subject matter. John wrote candidly and also the struggles he faced, and I believe you would be able to identify very much with what he wrote. I am most inspired by his perseverence and tenacity in praying for people to be healed. He began the healing ministry with no one getting healed for 10 months (how many of us would have given up already) but he pressed on believing in God's redemptive heart, of which healing is part of it all. Through his journey and discovery, he writes this book like a primer to the ministry of healing and deliverance, and this is a must read for anyone venturing into this area.
