Stretch Out Your Hand: Exploring Healing Prayer

This has been the single biggest book to impact my life next to the Bible! I have read several books on healing prayer and touch. And how to help and pray for others. This book has, and I wasn't even expecting it, helped me the most! It has opened my eyes to total healing and how we can be healed in so many other ways than just physcially. I wish everyone would read this book. And no I don't make any money on this book. Every minister especially, should have and read this book.

Stretch Out Your Hand : Exploring Healing Prayer

A clear, straight-foreward outline of what healing prayer is and, perhaps more importantly, what it is not. The examples are clear. The text is articulately written and easily understood. It is meant to promote the use of prayer, espcially healing prayer as a part of daily experiences. It gives clear guidelines for helping those in need and how to be a good listener and how to allow God to enter the situation on HIS agenda, not the pray-er. I THOROUGHLY recommend this book.

Stretch you healing team

One of the best books to use to train healing teams in a church. Tackles the tough questions. Good question and answer format is some sections. I have used the stories in sermons to teach the whole congregation. My teams loved it. Fr. Mark

Should Get Six Stars!

This book brought a turnabout to my thinking about healing and health and prayer. A friend gave the book to me after a long conversation about prayer and the television preachers who wave their hands and magically heal people. I still don't think much of those charlatans on television, but the book by Norberg and Webber talks about healing in a variety of ways, the least as physical. They write about emotional and spiritual and relational healing, something God knows that we need. They write a chapter that seemed to come from the Sixties, but seems appropriate today, about healing institutions--exorcising them of the evil powers they have. (Reminded me of a protest during Vietnam when the Pentagon was exorcised. But that's not part of this book.) This book is fully based on the Bible. The authors explore texts to help us understand the biblical world as well as the contemporary one and the way healing was understood then and can be understood today. A fine book!
