Those who minister in difficult contexts hear stories of personal struggle, trauma, and tragedy almost daily. We have heard Christ's promise that He is always with us, that He is able to heal and restore us from physical, emotional, and spiritual sickness. But, how do we begin? And how can we gently and safely invite others into healing?
Dorothy Mathieson and her husband, George, have spent decades searching for a practical, reliable answer to that aching question. They have served internationally within the world's poorest communities, prayed with many who have not yet met Jesus, and counseled many weary and overburdened ministers. As they encouraged people to first develop a base of joy and quiet, and then open their story to Jesus, they saw life-changing results and powerful seeds of healing even within incredibly painful situations.
This book is a paradigm-shifting tool for those who regularly pray for others, for those who want deeper healing throughout layers of their own pain, as well as for any who seek to be a healing presence for their neighbors-not through therapy or good advice, but by using story to connect to Jesus.
