A generally excellent book on the subject of (Christian) divine healing. There are many approaches to divine healing from a Christian perspective that Christians should be open to. The one laid out in this book is the angle of inner healing. Sometimes inner healing first requires outer healing. But it's also the case that sometimes outer healing first requires inner healing. This book by Clark & (mostly) Miller explores the latter approach.
However, the book could give a false impression to readers that certain diseases are always associated with emotional trauma, and/or specific sins and other issues, and that they are always caused by X,Y and Z. When in reality, sometimes there are no emotional issues that need to be resolved. Or if there are, they aren't necessarily always the ones suggested in the book. Even when there is a correlation between a specific sickness and the suggested emotional cause, sometimes the direction of causation may be in the opposite direction. Meaning, while it's true that sometimes emotional issue A causes physical problems B, the reverse is sometime the case. Sickness B can sometimes lead to emotional issue A. We need to always remember the adage that correlation does not imply or necessitate causation, and that even if there is causation, the direction of causation could go either way.
Also, the book's approach to dealing with sickesses has the potential of developing a judgmental attitude among some Christians regarding the sick. Leading them to think, "Since subject S has condition C, therefore and necessarily S has emotional issue E, and/or is guilty of transgression (i.e. sin) T." In all interactions Christians need to remember to practice mercy and compassion and not to jump to conclusions.
Keeping these potential pitfalls in mind, I would heartily recommend the book as an excellent contribution to the existing literature on the subject of (Christian) divine healing.
