[Book Review] Love, Medicine & Miracles by Bernie S. Siegel, M.D.

The full title to this book is Love, Medicine & Miracles: Lessons learned about self-healing from a surgeon’s experience with exceptional patients.  Dr. Siegel admitted to becoming very depressed because the medical profession felt more and more like a mechanics shop and people continues to die quickly no matter how he tries to patch them up.  It has nothing to do with the skills of the surgeons but that hopelessness of patients often causes their demise sooner than they should especially when doctors always give estimates of the chance of success and survival rate.  The lower the rate, the faster the patient succumbs to the actualization of that predicatment.  It is absolutely true.  The medical profession usually only tabulate statistics on those who went through with the treatment and not those who are stubborn and walk away from treatment and becomes an outlier.  Siegel is not proposing that we all walk away from treatment.  He believes positive thinking or faith are equally important as the success of a treatment.  Nothing new there but it’s revealing to see a doctor agonize over patient’s psychology.  The book itself doesn’t have a lot of miracles and not a lot of God in it.  So if you want more of that, you need to look elsewhere.  I don’t really care for the parts about dream or drawing interpretation or guided imagery.  But considering out of 21 books I was given to read on patients and cancer care, this one is readable.

[Book Review] Street Healer’s Guide: Revised Edition by Luke T. Jones

Luke T. Jones studied at the Bethel School of Supernatural Discipleship and has a facebook page where he posts word of knowledge whereby upon reading the condition that you are in i.e. pain in lower back, lymph nodes swelling, cataract and etc., your faith alone will spur you to believe that you are going to be healed that moment and it works.  I have read his page and got rid of swelling and pain underarm and every since then, every time I prayed on it again, it would disappear.

This book is available in Kindle version and Jones tells us how he does it.  Fascinating read.  You get to understand the etiquette of street healing, how to introduce yourself and how you always want the person to experience the love of Jesus.

Edit: May 27, 2014: Luke T. Jones has deactivated his facebook page for the moment while he focuses on writing his screenplay.  But he promises to be back.  So stay tuned to his Twitter account.

[Book Review] Divine Healing Made Simple by Praying Medic

Praying Medic is an EMT who transports patients in ambulances in the Pacific Northwest and he has been anointed by God to heal people when he prays.  He wrote this book to share his journey along with other testimonies from other healers he met over this time as his website popularity grew.  An absolutely amazing book!!

“Divine Healing Made Simple: Simplifying the supernatural to make healing and miracles a part of your everyday life” starts with how God showed him through visions and dreams how to pray for patients.  Because of his medical knowledge, God pinpointed on the areas to pray for. Absolutely mind-boggling to know that God is so precise!! I love his testimony of how his first 6 months, no one got healed but once he changed the way he prayed, the success rate increases and now around 80% of those he prays for gets healed.

His books deals with faith, why God heals some and why not others, format of praying and the most exciting of all chapters, spiritual warfare.  Demons aka spirits are real in some diseases/ailments. He also fleshed out the dreams that God gave him and interpreted them and I could not get over the last dream he has of the future of divine healing.  It’s going to go mainstream one day!  Go buy this book!  Everyone needs to know there is another option other than man-made medicine!!!

Incredible testimonies of healing

This is such a powerful testimony of Nate posted in the Praying Medic website.  He was 25 when he was given 6 months to live from terminal cancer.  I would encourage everyone to watch this video whether you have arthritis, back pain, MS or any ailments.

This is how I feel when I could jog 2 rounds at marsh for an hour without coughing or losing breath.  I want to scream and scream to anyone who wants to hear how God could heal. Watch this lady healed of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis just through love.
