<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The author shows that God can heal the deepest hurts, wounds, and areas of sin.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>One restless night Rick Richardson was disturbed throughout his sleep by an image of a man coming at him with a knife. Taking that image seriously set Rick on a profound journey of healing and prayer around issues of masculinity and relationships. Sometimes we feel spiritually numb, find ourselves emotionally dependent, struggle with addictive behavior, or see a trail of broken relationships behind us. These can be signs that we are in need of God's healing touch in our lives through prayer--prayer that we can learn and practice in community. In this biblical and very human book, Richardson walks us through the steps we need to receive this gift of healing from God as well as to begin praying for others in their pain.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br />"The reader will find a clearly written practical guide to creating and sustaining a ministry of healing. Gallup survey findings on the values and beliefs of teens support the author's belief that 'the emerging generation could lead the way into a new day of healing and transformation in the church and the world.'"--George Gallup Jr.<br><br>"[Richardson] has urged the creation of an emotionally and spiritually safe space for both recipients and prayer ministers, encircled by the presence of God within the church community."--Heather Walker Peterson, Ph.D., Prayer Ministry Leader, Church of the Cross, Hopkins, MN<br><br>"A very thoughtful, useful and powerful resource for all those who want to bring the healing ministry of Jesus into the local church."--Rev. Dr. Mark Stibbe, author and speaker<br><br>"As a pastor for over thirty years, I only wish it had been written over thirty years ago! It is amazingly balanced in its approach to healing. It is immensely practical. It is also very biblical and historically orthodox. Rick's definition of what healing is, that it is 'not primarily about escape or relief from pain . . . [but] is primarily about the transformation of the person into a truer and more whole follower, worshipper and lover of God, ' so needs to be heard today."--Fr. George Kacena, Church of the Great Shepherd<br><br>"I chose Leanne Payne as a mentor through her writings--so you can imagine my interest when I saw Rick Richardson's book. I have been giving it a thorough working through and now am routinely recommending it for all my clients and others I pray for."--Jane Willard, counselor and prayer leader<br><br>"I found the book most unique and refreshing. Rick Richardson integrates Jesus' power to heal with Jesus' mission to the world. Often healing prayer becomes the Christian substitute for the secular obsession to 'be all that we can be, ' which means to do whatever we can to make ourselves feel good. Rick speaks to the reality of God's healing power and how it moves through us toward a world that is in desperate need of reconciliation on so many levels. This is a truth that the church needs to hear and embrace."--Nina Lau Branson, Methodist church prayer leader<br><br>"Rick Richardson paints a compelling portrait of effective healing prayer ministry. His is a balanced and biblical view of such ministry, one that emphasizes listening to God, obedience to God, and reliance upon the healing power of a loving and sovereign Father. Through his transparency about his own journey of healing, he invites us to open ourselves to deeper possibilities of God's healing work. I recommend this book highly."--Dr. Stanton L. Jones, Provost, Wheaton College, and coauthor of the God's Design for Sex family sex education book series<br><br>"Some books on healing scare me. But I love this book's blend of passion and wisdom. Rick's honesty and insights made me want to pray and to receive prayer, to go deeper with others into the adventure of Christian healing."--Kevin A. Miller, Vice President, Christianity Today International<br><br>"The journey of 'dying to self' so Christ can come alive in us appears to be a misunderstood and elapsed discipline in the lives of Christians and the church today. Rick Richardson offers practical insights into how we respond to the incarnation of God through healing prayer. I will pass this on to the prayer ministers in our church."--Jeanine Parolini, Director of Adult Discipleship and Small Groups, North Heights Lutheran Church<br><br>"This is a very practical book that is also the very personal story of a journey in the Spirit. Rick Richardson has not only learned much that is helpful, but he has picked up great gifts of communication along the way. I was greatly encouraged as I read this work. I felt excited all over again about praying for the sick, distressed and marginalized. The teaching points that Rick makes as he tells his story have equipped me to feel that my journey will now be that much more effective."--Steve Sjogren, Founding Pastor, Vineyard Cincinnati, and writer of www.ServantEvangelism.com<br><br>"To write a book about healing is a formidable task. It is so easy to lose focus and balance, becoming shrill and dogmatic while overpromising or making healing a form of Christian magic. Rick Richardson has avoided all these pitfalls and given us a rich, nuanced, thoughtful, experience-based, story-filled and practical guide to the healing ministry. This is a book that touches people at the places where the Spirit can work: those dark points of brokenness, longing, pain, disadvantage and injustice."--Richard Peace, Ph.D., Robert Boyd Munger Professor of Evangelism and Spiritual Formation, Fuller Theological Seminary<br><br>"We live in a dysfunctional and broken world--we need repair and we need to be made whole. Rick Richardson's book is a sacred health document that is illuminating, fresh and healthy; it certainly was for me."--J. John, author and speaker<br><br>I immediately found myself caught up in Richardson's journey to lead people with emotional brokenness and wounds from the past toward emotional healing. This book should prove of immense value to people struggling with inner brokenness or who know someone who is.--Jim Miller Book Review, May 28, 2008<br>
