A Refreshing Read In The Day Of "Carbon Copies"

These days, it seems like everyone's writing a book. And while that's understandable, most books sound like all the other books that came before on the same subject. Not so with Agnes Sanford. Agnes doesn't place the emphasis on what you need to do to get God to respond to your prayers as so many books today, do. But rather, she points out what's stated in the Bible. Faith is about going to God and getting the worry, fear, bitterness, uncertaintly, and all the other negatives out of our hearts. Then, we can pray and trust the power of God that comes through the cross of Jesus Christ to bring deliverance in every area of our lives.

If you want to get started removing the blockages out of your heart that stand between you and the Lord, this book will give you great encouragement as you continue your own personal journey of faith.

A Timeless Treasure

I got my first copy of this book almost twenty years ago from a friend who was 90 years old and was such a great example in my life. Next to the Bible, it has been the book that has been a healing light in my own life.

Way ahead of her time and other books like The Secret, Agnes Sanford understood how the Kindgom of God works. Her simple words and examples through stories she gives in The Healing Light, are an inspiration no matter what you may be going through.

I buy copies of this book all the time and give it as a gift to encourage others. It is a timeless treasure.

A "guilt-free" guide for those who were "raised Catholic" or seeking how to receive God's love

This book "healed" my soul.

As a Southern Catholic who attended a Southern Baptist grade school and CCD on weekends, it is fair to say that as an adult in my late 30's a pervasive form of embedded guilt and fear of God permeates my life. I, like many other non-practicing Catholics, have struggled with the strict doctrine and detached method of our faith. In high school (also Catholic), I saw a glimpse of how "cool" God is through the eyes of a young, energetic priest, who also served as a guidance counselor/youth minister. To him, God's message was not to live a life of guilt, but one full of light and love. This was a new angle on religion, but more so on faith and its power.

This impression fulfilled and strengthened me to face many challenges in my late teens and early 20's with strong faith, not fear. But as life goes, college, boyfriends, career, and other distractions led me away from this inner strength - the solid core, or "inner foundation," so to speak. I no longer tackled life's challenges with God as my "coach," thus leading to many poor decisions, which, in turn, lead to many negative, sometimes devastating consequences. I began buying every book I could find on character, leadership, harnessing emotions, faith, etc., but none resonated the message our priest blessed us with three out of our four years in high school.

I recently met with this priest, who faced many challenges when he made the decision to leave the Catholic faith and pursue a non-celibate yet spiritual life as an Episcopal priest. The goal of our meeting went beyond catching up - I needed his guidance to re-discover my spiritual core, and feel God's love. He loaned me this book, and it has changed my life.

Agnes Sanford's message is so simple and so practical; a formula I'd long been seeking, at a small fortune's cost. By the end of the first chapter I began to feel that inner strength I'd been seeking to re-establish for 20 years. for example, in "Chapter 2: Experiments in Prayer," she provides a rational, four-step guide on how pray for God's healing light and guidance:

1. Put aside your stress and worries and concentrate "upon the reality of God."
2. "Connect with" God through a simple, one sentence prayer seeking His power. (This was news to me. I then realized I'd forgotten how to pray.)
3. "Believe" the connection will come true by accepting it by faith and by "giving thanks" for it NOW coming to pass.(Initially I thought this to be quite demanding of God.)
4. "Observe the operations" of this request by deciding on a "tangible thing we want accomplished by this power."

At first I was uncomfortable with such a rational approach I feared I would offend the saints, Mary, and the Holy Trinity. Laughable, but true. I then followed the steps and I kid you not, saw the tangible result within two hours of my request. I am training myself to apply this method to all things in life. Results have varied, but healing has occurred within me and those around me.

The author expounds this formula in other chapters, introducing various scenarios in which she had to modify her method (and herself) in order to receive God's power (His healing light and love) and to fulfill her request.

I highly recommend this book to anyone: skeptics, those strong in faith, parents, children, non-Christians, Christians of all faiths, but especially those adults who were "raised Catholic" and are now either non-practicing like myself, or are still "practicing" but leave mass empty after mindlessly reciting prayers engraved in their minds from First Holy Communion. I refer to it daily and practice her methods and can honestly say I've been amazed and believe beyond a doubt that I am a child of a God that loves unconditionally and only wants to pass his love through us to others.

May this book bless all who buy it and who benefit from those who learn to connect with God's healing power, serving as a vessel of His love and light.
