In this easily readable book Dr David Petts shows clearly why we should expect miracles of healing today. He looks at most of the healing miracles in the Bible and draws important lessons from them.

He offers a balanced theology of healing that seeks to promote faith for healing without causing discouragement to those who are not healed.

Using illustrations from his own experience he gives wise advice on how healing should be practised both in evangelism and in pastoral ministry today.
