As you read this text, I invite you to bring your whole self to Jesus’ healing stories. Place yourself in the text as you seek to fathom its intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and vocational meaning for yourself, your loved ones, and your community. Each chapter weaves together scriptural study, theological reflection, spiritual practices, personal narratives, and practical application.
Each chapter will conclude with a spiritual practice related to the healing story being considered. Feel free to shape these practices according to your personal and spiritual needs. I also include questions and spiritual practices for group study and spiritual formation at the end of the book.
In conclusion, let me once again state that this book is a labor of love and a testimony to prayer, building on nearly thirty years of living with the healings of Jesus as a pastor, theologian, spiritual guide, and person seeking my own healing. May you experience God’s healing touch and transforming love and seek to embody God’s healing marks in your own life.
