If you are a Christian and are interested in Healing, this is probably the book for you. John Wimber gives practical explanations for healing through prayer and also gives personal experience to go along and give examples to help explain.

Fortunately, Wimber starts with his own early experiences and deep struggles with much the same misunderstanding.

A great book on miraculous healing. The name of the book sounds sensationalist, but the book is actually very down-to-earth, informative, and scripturally based. I found it immensely helpful to my own limited understanding of this kind of ministry.
