GoodBookStall Review:
This book presents healing as a practical and important part of any pastoral ministry. Atkinson defines the causes of ill health and offers possibilities of healing body, mind and spirit. Following Christ’s example in the Church’s healing ministry Christ’s kingdom, is a community event, changes people’s priorities and is linked to forgiveness. Chapters on the problem of pain, counselling, standing with the vulnerable and the kingdom of God illustrate the way healing is offered in the whole ministry of the Church and its liturgy. This easy to read, very straightforward and informative book is a must for all those interested in this subject.
