Book Summary :

It is a sharp-edged world and getting hurt is unavoidable. Whether it is physical, spiritual or emotional, we all experience pain on some level and are left with trying to pick up the pieces. What do we do? How do we move forward? Do we want to merely get bandaged up so we can get back into the game? Or do we want something so powerful and miraculous that it leaves us better than when we first experienced pain? In How Healed Do You Want to Be? author William Faris explores the world of healing from a different perspective, defining the true nature of healing and challenging the reader to ask those tough questions that help us discover the deep healing God has for our lives. He lays out a biblical road map that helps those on this journey find a healing that leaves them in better shape than when one of the sharp edges from the world first found them.

Book Summary :

God created us, and He knows how our minds, spirit, emotions and physics work. He made us to be dependent on Him. We must fill the vacuum with Him, not other obsessions. We belong to The Higher Power and we are His creation. Everything we do in life is empty and meaningless if we don't put God first. He wants to spend time with us. He wants to give us power to live a victorious life for Him. He wants to show the world, through us, that it is possible to live a life that is pleasing to Him and we can only do this with His constant watch and help. When the storms of life attack us, we must be solidly anchored in our Higher Power.

Book Summary :

In Tanzania, the Marian Faith Healing Ministry offers Catholic healing rituals under the patronage of the Virgin Mary. Exorcism and a special water service are central to the healing process. People bring physical, spiritual, and social afflictions before the group's leader, Felicien Nkwera. Combining the perspectives of the study of religions and medical anthropology, this book analyzes Nkwera's pastoral texts and the personal healing narratives of the members. Thus, a complex image of the healing process is created and framed within its Tanzanian interreligious context and its global conservative Catholic context.

Book Summary :

"In The Realms of Apollo, literary scholar Raymond A. Anselment examines how seventeenth-century English authors confronted the physical and psychological realities of death." "Focusing on the dangers of childbirth and the terrors of bubonic plague, venereal disease, and smallpox, the book reveals in the discourse of literary and medical texts the meanings of sickness and death in both the daily life and culture of seventeenth-century England. These perspectives show each realm anew as the domain of Apollo, the deity widely celebrated in myth as the god of poetry and the god of medicine. Authors of both formal elegies and simple broadsides saw themselves as healers who tried to find in language the solace physicians could not find in medicine. Within the context of the suffering so unmistakable in the medical treatises and in the personal diaries, memoirs, and letters, the poets' struggles illuminate a new cultural consciousness of sickness and death."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
