Customer Reviews

Maybe his best!

I have recently discovered the writings of Bruce Epperly. This one is perhaps my favorite of them all. I am a member of the International Order of Saint Luke the Physician -- an ecumenical Christain organization. I find that the tone of its publications and literary recommendations tends to be "conservative". "Conservative" is not the tone I sense from Epperly's works -- except maybe in the very best and basic sense of the word -- but I think there may be no better Bible Study Book for use by local chapters of the Order of Saint Luke than this one by Bruce. I recommend it for personal reflection and for group discussion.

Best Book on Spirituality and Healing!

Epperly does a masterful job bringing together spirituality, medicine, science, and theology in a book that is honest, practical and lively. Filled with stories of real people with real pain, Epperly brings hope alive through a rediscovery of the healings of Jesus. Written from the perspective of process theology, Epperly goes beyond the usual dualist approachs of our Western culture by offering a wholistic vision for Christians who long for a fresh, practical, and biblically sound approach. Not only does he deal with the hard questions that surround suffering, but he offers practical "Experiments in Healing and Wholeness" at the end of each chapter. A book about healing that begins us on the road to healing even while we are reading the book! A masterful work!
