Healing in the Spirit : Wholeness of Body, Strength of Soul

In a new and enlarged edition of this widely acclaimed book, Father Jim McManus focuses on the rediscovery of the healing power of prayer within the medical profession and the recovery of the healing ministry within the Church. The aim of Healing in the Spirit, the author states, is "to help readers deepen their conviction in God's healing intention and to encourage them" in bringing the healing word of God to all they meet. His premise is that this ministry is not restricted to ordained clergy but is for the whole Church. Throughout the book, Father McManus weaves the stories and experiences of those who have come face to face with various kinds of healing: physical, spiritual, and psychological. The text reflects his integration of a pastoral and professional approach to healing.
