The Healing Gifts of the Spirit

by Agnes Sanford

Book Overview

This practical guide to spiritual healing blends insightful spiritual reflection and the wisdom of hard-won experience in a reliable and inspiring handbook for developing our innate capacity for richer living and richer giving through the healing gifts of the Spirit. Many years ago, Agnes Sanford was cured of acute depression by a minister who believed in the healing power of prayer. Subsequently, she herself became very active and successful in healing others of mental and physical ailments by drawing upon the same resources for inner well-being. In The Healing Gifts of the Spirit, she shares the simple, practicable ways of self-help she discovered, and gives step-by-step advice on how to help others. She discusses not only her own cure but also the gift of healing in general and its growing recognition in the contemporary church. She devotes a chapter to the gift of miracles, and another -- especially interesting -- to the gift of tongues. Her exploration of these topics is richly inspiring, offering readers one of the most detailed, informative discussions of the nature, dynamics, and potential rewards of these unique manifestations of God's presence. At the same time, she demonstrates how anyone can draw upon this healing power for good in the world. As evidence of how these gifts can -- and do -- reveal themselves, the author cites many examples from observation and personal encounters with the healing power of the Spirit.

The Healing Gifts of the Spirit

I was looking for some encouragement around the area of praying for healing, and I got it.The Author brings to light the relationship I have with the Holy Spirit and His power to heal through me. It was good for me to be reminded of the truth of 1Jn 4:4, 1Cor. 3:16, and Eph. 1:19:20. That the One who lives in me is grater than any power in this world, that the Holy Spirit does live in me and that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to me in this present time.

HEALING GIFT

I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THE BOOK I HAVE ORDERED, IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AND WOULD SURELY RE-ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY. THANK YOU, MADELEINE HARDINGThe Healing Gifts of the Spirit

One of the best books on healing the whole person

This is one of the best books on healing and I buy several at a time and give them away.

Invaluable resource in understanding the Spirit

I know of no other book that gives as clear an understanding of the more "mysterios" gifts of the spirit. I am not a "carasmatic" but through understanding, this book removes any fear I may have had and in fact installs a longing to experience more of the Spirit.

What a pleasure to support this book!

Although not a recent publication, the message is timeless. A Catholic woman discovers healing abilities and helps many people. She reveals these skills wonderfully so one may walk away feeling empowered to practice healing too! Although she poo poos the New Age, we're doing the same thing....I am a REIKI Master and I think Agnes is where I got my first training. Bless her! God's Light cannot be contained in a doctrine!
