a little book about believing: The Transformative Healing Power of Faith, Love, and Surrender Kindle Edition

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 165 ratings

Penner Inc. is the publisher of A Little Book About Believing. Paperback copies can be ordered directly from them here.

This is an insightful, fascinating and empowering book about health, healing, love, and faith that has the potential to change forever the way you view your life and your health.

The Casa de Dom Inaçio in Brazil is a center of extraordinary spiritual energy, a place where the same profound force of unconditional love used by countless healing practitioners throughout history brings relief to thousands of people who visit each year. Treatment is free. Nobody is turned away. The results are beyond uncanny.

'a little book about believing' chronicles 12 days in the life of journalist Cash Peters, and several others, as they travel to the Casa and experience the phenomenal abilities of world-renowned faith healer John of God. But does spiritual healing really work? Can the loving power of our connection to the Divine be harnessed to fix the human body and ensure greater longevity? These questions and many more are answered in this unique and gripping book.

With a foreword by Dr. Jeffrey Rediger of Harvard Medical School, and filled with enlightening insights, Cash’s moving story takes us to a place where faith, love, and surrender become powerful tools for healing. In doing so, it plants seeds of renewed hope for those facing serious illness, while inviting the rest of us not to fear our health issues, but to embrace them as significant opportunities for learning and growth.

"Highly thought-provoking and compelling! An extraordinary book with a life-changing message!" - Andreas Moritz, author of Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation.

"Uplifting. One of the first books I've read from cover to cover in a long time.... A great writer." Alan Cohen, Hay House Radio.

"If the phone rang tomorrow and I got the news we all fear – that a loved one had been diagnosed with cancer – the first thing I would do is get online and order a copy of Cash Peters’ new book. A Little Book About Believing is one of those books that can not only change a life, but might actually save a life…. A balanced, interesting and ultimately life-affirming picture of just how much healing we are capable of experiencing, if we’ll just get out of the way of the Divine Life Force that lives in all of us." D.K. Brainard, Edge Magazine

"This book resonated on many levels...It brought a lot of ideas together which reinforce the power of positive thinking and the importance of detox and a plant-based diet for long-term health and healing." Jennifer Thompson, Healthy Bliss

A little book about believing, by Cash Peters, is not little, in its approach to life. It's large. Cash does not guarantee that the read is gonna be a quick visit to a hamburger joint, where you stuff your belly and walk away on overload. On the contrary, the story feeds the reader with food for the soul, and one bite at a time you become more hungry and want more. The story offers a myriad of profound life lessons told through Cash and the people he meets, in a healing experience that provokes passion for life and the desire to know.

With humor, well crafted writing, and remarkable respect for the dignity of humanity, Peters cleverly puts you in the drivers seat when it comes to the business of believing. Believing means many things in this book, as you are here, to take the accepted way, be it a medical diagnosis, a life path, or a hurting relationship and experience it without judgment, and perhaps try a new approach.

The little book. is a rock solid study in character building and things that test without putting a time limit on the experience. The reader will have to make decisions in the face of challenging circumstances, and the beauty is that it won't tax the bejessus, it will just require an open mind, believing in the value of self, and looking at the art and practice of intention.

It's one of those books, that explores all of the unexpected twists of fate that keep you on your toes. I was fascinated with Cash's true account of a twelve day journey into the unknown territory of a spiritual awakening where old ways of thinking a left behind; where self healing provides a new path for finding the creative life force within, and where forgiveness requires that you show up to the party. The Casa de Dom Inaçio in Brazil is the mother lode. It's a place of supernatural healing for thousands,and from his point of entry, Cash questions, experiences, walks down another path...until... (Not gonna tell you).
You will be surprised.

In this exquisite story, Cash becomes "every man" in his quest for personal healing and you find yourself identifying with his logic, passion, and absolute leap of faith. The personal stories of twenty people, who have come to the center for personal healing is woven throughout, as Cash Peters creates an intimate healing relationship with them.

What happens throughout the book is not cookie cutter, and will require time to digest the story. I will read this book again, as I am exploring my own journey. This is more than a good read, Its Brilliant!!!!!

Without revealing specific details or twists in the story, this amazing book is about far, far more than broadcast-journalist Cash Peters' trip to the famed healing center at Casa de Dom Inacio in Abadiania, Brazil, to explore potential treatment for a health issue affecting his career. Rather, Cash’s experiences what ultimately turns into a journey of spiritual self-discovery and self-healing due not only to what happens at the Casa, but also in large part to what he learns from fellow pilgrims he encounters there about health, nutrition, disease, and restoration of the body, mind, and soul.

As a gifted storyteller Cash has what I call a fast-paced visual-narrative writing style that makes it easy to envision events unfolding as you read. This riveting book was like watching a movie, I thought. And I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next.

One has to marvel if this was the true purpose intended (by the Divine? the Universe?) for Cash to make that quest so he would in turn write this book to share his incredible experiences with others. I can tell you that I have become more health conscious and self-nurturing for having read this insightful and inspiring story because of Cash (for whom I shall forever be personally grateful).

You may not believe in faith healing, otherworldly entities, or mystical Earth energy sites like that found at the Casa de Dom Inacio in Brazil…but after reading this book in full you may find it hard to remain quite so cynical or skeptical. In fact, you might just awaken and come to Believe in what is infinitely—and Divinely— possible within yourself in order to change and improve your life and your health for the better. :-p

I really didn’t know what this book was about before reading it, but I liked the title. It took me 6 months to read the first quarter (because life), but I committed to finishing it in 2020. The last 3/4 took 4 days which would have been less without life’s normal distractions.

I am a believer in taking charge of one’s own health. I am 56 and have not been to a doctor for 7-ish years. This book blew my concept out of the water. I love the journey Cash takes us on about the retreat of John of God in Brazil. His lighthearted humor leads you through the personalities of the people from his experience in the way a business person works in an office or mom meanders through suburban life. We are all quirky and his experience was so relatable. But the further the story went, the more profound and deep the meaning of each point of experience became.

My sister and I have had a conversation about whether something you are doing for yourself is stupid if it works. The short answer is that it is not. The longer answer has imbedded in it the thoughts of whether you believe it will work, how much hope and optimism contribute to your success and how far you are willing to go to take responsibility for your own physical, spiritual & emotional health.

This book explores all of those areas in life where we either believe it can or cannot be done, and how we are usually right. Lovely book.

Regardless of the extremely awful and acutely disturbing outcome of John of God and his facility, Cash’s experiences and this book still hold up as a testament to the power of Faith, Love and Surrender. The message is powerful and important, untainted, I believe, when looked at as separate from the setting and facilitator.

Just finished reading this and I absolutely loved it. I particularly love that it is extremely honest, I feel as if I was there with you and experienced the whole thing. I particularly love that you didnt try to fabricate a miracle in the end, just to make for a more dramatic ending! It is a deeply thought provoking book, and I am going to read it again! Many thanks for writing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly a book about believing
Reviewed in Canada on October 25, 2023
Cash Peter's little book begins to confirm what I always suspected about the power of faith and the way out thoughts shape our realities. I was culturally and economically never expected to rise to the level of my career achievements. I just assumed that as I focused on various interests that there would be no real limits just twists and turns in this curious journey called life. To sum up "just NO to NEGATIVITY and do the best you can even if you fail.

5.0 out of 5 stars " An Incredible Journey Into The Unknown"
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 15, 2012
It would be difficult to read this book and remain indifferent whatever your philosophy of life. It is as deeply moving as it is thought provoking.
Set against a background of a general inquiry into the whole process of healing and the part played by the relationship of the mind to the body, this is the story of the author's twelve day trip to the Casa de Dom Inacio in Abadiania ,Brazil. This is the place where John of God carries out spiritual healings. He is here seeking the answer to many questions and aproaches events with an open mind, but at the same time looks beyond the obvious.
The whole adventure is vividly brought to life as we are introduced to other members of the party and become involved in their problems.
Throughout the narrative there is a wider discussion of healing and healthy living in general.
By the end of his stay many questions have been answered as he emphasises the importance of belief." It's not the faith of the healer that creates a miracle it's the faith of the patient that a miracle can occur that does it"
I found this a very powerful read to which I have returned several times as it helped me to rethink my own beliefs and overcome some doubts.
I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in matters spiritual, healing and healthy living, or who who is looking for inspiration in general.

Cannot recommend more highly. Cash peters writes fluently and clearly about life's mysteries, but in such a delightful way that this book 'reaches the parts that other books don't reach!' (To quote a famous advertisement !)
