This book retells each of Jesus’ and his followers’ healings from the Bible. It also contains historical information, definitions, and insights into Jesus’ ministry. A special section of recent healings attests to the vitality and relevance of Christ-healing today.

An extensively revised and expanded edition of four previously published books: (Jesus’ Healings, parts 1–3, and New Testament Healings), it has been fully redesigned to be more engaging and interactive. It reflects the most recent Bible scholarship, and for the first time is available in a single volume.

Written in clear, direct, accessible language—and filled with beautiful, historically informed, full-color illustrations, maps, glossaries, a bibliography, and an index—Stories of Healing is an engaging and inspiring tribute to Jesus’ healing legacy. Written to be accessible for 8 to 12-year-olds, the book appeals to readers of all ages.
