Extrait

Jeannie Morgan has done a phenomenal job of helping us understand healing both for the body and the inner man. I highly recommend this book to you.
Robby Dawkins, International Speaker, Vineyard Pastor and author of Do What Jesus Did
Jeannie Morgan is the real deal. She exemplifies the very subject she writes about as a compelling witness, a fruitful practitioner, and an effective trainer in healing prayer. Our faith and our churches need both the message and the ministry Jeannie brings in such a thoughtful and heartfelt way.

Jeannie has many years of experience in the healing ministry. This is a very useful handbook for any who feel called to be involved - it is very readable, very practical, and very informative with fascinating accounts of how people have been wonderfully blessed through this ministry. We warmly recommend this book.

To my dear friends David Pytches, Mary Pytches and Mike Pilavachi You have enriched my life. I have been loved, taught, challenged, encouraged, impassioned, and inspired by you all for the last thirty-plus years. Thank you for so generously imparting to me, and a multitude of others, the treasure you have received from Jesus, particularly:
Freely you have received; freely give.
The kingdom of heaven has come near. Heal those who are ill, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
Matthew 10:8
