Healing Light

Summary: For Christians Only
Review: Agnes Sanford has inspired many healing ministries including those of Francis MacNutt, Ruth Carter Stapleton and Jim Glennon.

Her message is clear and scriptually sound. God can work through us if we only let Him. There are certain things we can learn which will help us to seek God's healing love and that is what Agnes Sanford describes in this stimulating book.

Summary: Needs to be on your shelf
Review: I found Agnes Sanford through another author, Tiffany Snow - "The Power of Divine: A Healer's Guide." I will be forever greatful. There are books that need to be read over and over again, and this is one of them. Both of these books bring spirituality home and place it gently in the arms of grace, and in the heart. A must read!

Summary: The Best To Learn How To Pray With Faith
Review: If one wants to learn to pray with faith and belief, put what one learns into practice, and see prayers for the healing of family, friends, and themselves answered, this is the best book I have found. It is not metaphysical, not new age, but as any Jesus baptized Bible student will find, solidly based in Biblical teachings.

Since putting its precepts into practice over 20 years ago, I have had many experiences of being healed and of seeing those I prayed for healed.

I am getting ready to order a new copy. I lend mine out and it doesn't come back. I hope those copies have helped others as much as they have helped me. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: What should be on a healer¿s bookshelf
Review: If you are a healer or want to be healed, these books should help. You may also want to put two of these books in your doctor's hands: The Power of Divine: A Healer's Guide, and Hands of Light. I read many books on various forms of healing, and alternative medicine, and I have found wonderful insights and practical how-to in each of these books.

The Healing Touch: A Guide to Healing Prayer for Yourself and Those You Love--- Norma Dearing, Francis MacNutt

The Power of Divine: A Healer's Guide - Tapping into the Miracle---Tiffany Snow

Hands of Light: Guide to Healing Through the Human Energy Field---Barbara Ann Brennan

Quantum Touch: The Power to Heal---Richard Gordon

Healing Light---Agnes Mary White Sanford

Summary: ok not great
Review: It is a good book on divine healing I suppose but she takes a "stand offish" approach to Christianity. She is always using abstract terms and never delving into the Christian theology.

Summary: The Best To Learn How To Pray With Faith
Review: It is my opinion that Christians need to be wary of books of this nature and also by this author. The concepts smack of New Age mysticism and metaphysical thought. It's all mixed with Christian verbiage and scripture to give the naive reader the impression that the concepts herein are biblical, but careful examination of the text reveals great doctrinal problems. This is, in the opinion of this reviewer, a deceptive book. The author may be sincere and a nice person, but I believe she is sincerely deceived. Christians should steer clear.

Agnes draws from the teaching that says there are certain laws in nature that God has ordained and, basically, a Christian just needs to learn to tap into these laws to see results - even miracles.

This kind of teaching is creeping into many religious circles around the world, especially the increasingly prominent "prophetic" and "Charismatic" movements. Please understand, I personally believe in the prophetic (as it is described in Scripture) and I believe in the gifts of the Spirit (as they are taught in Scripture). I am not anti-Charismatic, per say; however, I recognize that many in the modern-day Charismatic movement are getting off into strange doctrines, even New Age heretical teachings. Even one of the most popularly recognized modern-day prophets in the Charismatic movement (whose name I will not mention here), once admitted to seeing auras on people (and excercised this ablity in his "prophetic" ministering) and that the methods used in astrology and New Age thought actually originated with God. This man also encouraged reading books by the Sanfords.

Christians please be careful. Deception isn't deception unless it's deception. People who are being deceived don't realize they are being deceived; that's why it's called deception. If nothing else, I am suggesting you beware and on the alert if you are going to read this book or any book that deals with this topic. It sounds smooth and there is positive testimony included to give the impression that this must be "of God" because it has worked for some people. Remember, Occult practices also work for many of the people that engage in them. That does not make them biblical or godly. Just because Scripture is used (a verse here and there) does not make something doctrinally-sound either. The Mormons use Scripture, so do the Jehovah's Witnesses, so do Christian Scientists, so do many popular cults and even some Satanists. The Word of God must be embraced in its full and complete context.

God bless you all and keep you in the way of truth.
