Book Description
Memoirs of a Christian Healer is the third in a trilogy of books. The first foundational book is The Joy of Spiritual Freedom, No More Doubt, No More Fear, authored by Abbot Oscar Joseph, O.C.C.O. and his wife Kathleen Rivest, Ph.D., that presents a strong Biblical foundation toward understanding God's will, doubt, suffering, healing, receiving healing, and spiritual laws. The second part of the trilogy is Listen with the Ear of Your Heart, Your Pilgrimage Toward Intimacy with God. Abbot Oscar Joseph describes the pilgrimage in a warm personal style. He discusses the difficulties that we all face in growing in trust and the obstacles that we have to overcome. Finally he offers opportunities for further reflection and methods of growing in intimacy. Memoirs of a Christian Healer chronicles the miraculous works of God through social ministry and divine healing. Abbot Oscar Joseph uses many example stories, thank you letters, and newspaper articles to support his ongoing claim that our God is a good God who pursues everyone regardless who they are or where they come from. Incorporated within the many stories the Abbot includes reflective lessons on the healing ministry. Abbot Oscar Joseph's usual opening line is, "Would you like to pray about that?" Then he lets God speak for himself. As you walk through these no frill or exaggerated stories you will experience not only ministry difficulties but the joy of victory and the sorrow of human weakness. These are honest stories of real people in real circumstances who have experienced genuine healings. Abbot Oscar Joseph created New Creation Rural Ministries. It focused on healing the whole person, including environment, spirit, and body thus demonstrating God's love and concern especially during moments of suffering. Suffering crosses all economic boundaries. New Creation Rural Ministries had many supporters for God's healing presence locally and throughout the East Coast of the USA. Generally every day was filled with blessings and miracles. As you might imagine there were some difficult obstacles. We had to be careful of lies, deceits, and saboteurs. The cost of ministry is great. There is pain when others do not share respect for the Biblical message. The Abbot's family received many blessings and gifts, but also much personal grief. Abbot Oscar Joseph describes God as gracious not only to himself but to the poor dear ones whom he was praying to heal and set free. Cayuga and Wayne counties were the poorest in New York State. There were few medical facilities available. Abbot's gifts saved and freed countless lives. Memoirs of a Christian Healer begins with the author's traumatic birth which also birthed his "get out of my way" attitude. Even church conflicts over flawed good doer's limited attitudes toward the rural poor versus a true abiding Christian presence toward the rural poor could not prevail. Abbot Oscar Joseph recounts astonishing true stories of God's grace through difficult times, miraculous stories, crazy encounters, surprising events in a jail, with police, hospital healings, and a never to forget Christmas day. Healing on the road stories include the healing of scoliosis where the infirmed describes her back as," no long goes bump bump", and countless other healing stories that are captured in authentic written letters. The Abbot shares four of his "love stories" that will you move your spirit. The healing ministry continues even in the Abbot's retirement as he continues giving seminars on how to pray and conducts healing services. Memoirs of a Christian Healer is a warm hearted easy to read inspirational story that you will want to share.

The Wounded Healer
Author: Henri J. M. Nouwen
Publisher: Image
ISBN: 0385148038
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
A radically fresh interpretation of how we can best serve others from the bestselling author of The Return of the Prodigal Son, hailed as “one of the world’s greatest spiritual writers” by Christianity Today “In our own woundedness, we can become a source of life for others.” In this hope-filled and profoundly simple book, Henri Nouwen inspires devoted men and women who want to be of service in their church or community but who have found traditional outreach alienating and ineffective. Weaving keen cultural analysis with his psychological and religious insights, Nouwen presents a balanced and creative theology of service that begins with the realization of fundamental woundedness in human nature. According to Nouwen, ministers are called to identify the suffering in their own hearts and make that recognition the starting point of their service. Ministers must be willing to go beyond their professional, somewhat aloof roles and leave themselves open as fellow human beings with the same wounds and suffering as those they serve. In other words, we heal from our wounds. The Wounded Healer is a thoughtful and insightful guide that will be welcomed by anyone engaged in the service of others.

Author: Suzanne Eller

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Being hurt and heartbroken is a sad reality for most of us. But I'm so thankful for this treasure of a book written by my friend Suzie Eller. Page by page, Suzie will help you understand how God's truth can heal your pain so you can move forward whole and healed. - Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times Bestselling Author and President of Proverbs 31 Ministries Brokenness happens. Tragedy, sin or the painful choices of others all have the ability to disrupt an otherwise contented life. And as a result of our heartache, we often attempt to fix our own brokenness—with disastrous results. If you've tried to heal, but keep ending up in the same place—whether the battle is in your heart or out in the open where everyone can see—The Mended Heart is for you. In this book, author Suzanne Eller tells it like it is: people throw quick fixes at you, or tell you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps (whatever that means). More important, though, she shares the powerful truth of Jesus' mission as outlined in Luke 4:18-21: He came to set free all those who are oppressed and in need of mending. You don’t have to fix yourself—Jesus loves you right where you are. In fact, He has already completed the work that needs to be done. The Mended Heart will encourage you to trust Him, to give and receive grace, and to move ahead even stronger than before … even if others don’t move with you.

Where the Light Fell
Author: Philip Yancey
Publisher: Convergent Books
ISBN: 0593238524
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
In this searing meditation on the bonds of family and the allure of extremist faith, one of today’s most celebrated Christian writers recounts his unexpected journey from a strict fundamentalist upbringing to a life of compassion and grace—a revelatory memoir that “invites comparison to Hillbilly Elegy” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). “Searing, heartrending . . . This stunning tale reminds us that the only way to keep living is to ask God for the impossible: love, forgiveness, and hope.”—Kate Bowler, New York Times bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason Raised by an impoverished widow who earned room and board as a Bible teacher in 1950s Atlanta, Philip Yancey and his brother, Marshall, found ways to venture out beyond the confines of their eight-foot-wide trailer. But when Yancey was in college, he uncovered a shocking secret about his father’s death—a secret that began to illuminate the motivations that drove his mother to extreme, often hostile religious convictions and a belief that her sons had been ordained for a divine cause. Searching for answers, Yancey dives into his family origins, taking us on an evocative journey from the backwoods of the Bible Belt to the bustling streets of Philadelphia; from trailer parks to church sanctuaries; from family oddballs to fire-and-brimstone preachers and childhood awakenings through nature, music, and literature. In time, the weight of religious and family pressure sent both sons on opposite paths—one toward healing from the impact of what he calls a “toxic faith,” the other into a self-destructive spiral. Where the Light Fell is a gripping family narrative set against a turbulent time in post–World War II America, shaped by the collision of Southern fundamentalism with the mounting pressures of the civil rights movement and Sixties-era forces of social change. In piecing together his fragmented personal history and his search for redemption, Yancey gives testament to the enduring power of our hunger for truth and the possibility of faith rooted in grace instead of fear. “I truly believe this is the one book I was put on earth to write,” says Yancey. “So many of the strands from my childhood—racial hostility, political division, culture wars—have resurfaced in modern form. Looking back points me forward.”
