The Healing Gifts of the Spirit
by Agnes Sanford
This practical guide to spiritual healing blends insightful spiritual reflection and the wisdom of hard-won experience in a reliable and inspiring handbook for developing our innate capacity for richer living and richer giving through the healing gifts of the Spirit. Here Agnes Sanford discusses not only her own cure from acute depression but also the gift of healing in general and its growing recognition in the contemporary church. She shares simple, practicable ways of self-help she discovered in our own efforts praying for mental and physical healing, and gives step-by-step advice on how to help others.
1984
