Will God Heal Me?
God's Power
and Purpose in Suffering
By Ron Dunn Available Here
(US Only)
Product
Description
Most of us want to avoid suffering at all costs. We work
out, take vitamins, and check our heart rate--to avoid
suffering in the future.
Why does
God heal some people and not others? What if
God doesn't make me well? How should I pray about healing?
When illness strikes, we
are never ready--but we can find hope in the midst of these
storms. But the Bible teaches that no one is
exempt from suffering and sickness.
Each of us will face suffering sooner or
later: our own, or that of someone we love.
For
those experiencing life-threatening or debilitating
illnesses, Will God Heal
Me? offers comfort--and points to refuge.
Author Ron Dunn will help you wade through
misconceptions about suffering to finally embrace the
unequivocal love and sovereignty of God.

Before his death in June 29, 2001, at the

If
I Could Give Everyone w/ an Illness a Book This
Would be it!, May 29, 2009
|
By |
Lisa

"RestMinistries"
(San Diego, CA, USA) |
This is a book I discovered over
ten years ago and I remember my first copy being
covered with different shades of highlighters. After
being subjected to many books about "The Bible
Cure," etc., I was so relieved to know a book like
this existed that addresses the fact that God does
heal, but it's in His own way and His own timing.
When this book went out of print I grieved! And
bought up every copy at discount bookstores I could
locate. The author passed away June 29, 2001, at the
age of 64, due to pulmonary fibrosis. He had a
worldwide itinerate ministry of Bible teaching and
preaching and served as the minister-at-large for
the MacArthur Blvd. Baptist Church in Irving, TX.
And was the president of LifeStyle Ministries, an
organization that produces Bible study audio
recordings, now headed by his wife, Kaye. You can
read more about him and his ministry at his web site
http://www.rondunn.com .
His wife was able to get the book back into print a
few years ago and there is no book that I've been
happier to have back. I believe it's one of those
"required reading" that anyone with a chronic
illness can benefit from.
I especially appreciate that Dunn tackles the
subject of stigma in being a Christian who is
chronically ill. It's refreshing to see this
addressed, but without any bitterness, just one
seeking to understand.
He writes, "But it is, for me at least, almost
impossible to understand the stigma that many
Christians attach to other Christians struck by
illness. The stigma attached to Christians by many
fellow believers is born not only out of ignorance,
but out of spiritual pride and arrogance, devoid of
understanding and compassion. The stigmatized
Christian is wounded in the house of his friends."
(p. 70)
He also says, "Overlapping the social stigma, yet
separate from it, is the spiritual stigma that is
often attached to illness. The isolation of illness
is often made even more acute in religious circles,
where sickness is looked upon as an evidence of
spiritual deficiency. . . Sheila Walsh, an
internationally known recording artist and author
and co-host of The 700 Club, says that when she
entered the hospital for depression some co-workers
said to her such things as: `Do you know the damage
you are doing to this ministry?' `I always knew you
would lose it someday.' `You might never be special
again.'" (p. 68-69)
In a very personal way Dunn describes that although
we naturally seek to avoid pain, the Bible does
teach that no one is except from suffering and this
includes sickness. There are many misconceptions
about what the Bible says about suffering, and Dunn
goes through them step by step, helping the reader
better understand God's sovereignty and endless
love, despite the suffering He allows into our
lives.
Chapters include topics such as:
* Why doesn't God just release His power and heal
all the hurts?
* The losses and gains of suffering
* Is God in sovereign control of His universe?
* What do we mean by healing?
* Do you have a right to be healed?
* The harmful side effects of unscriptural teaching
* Praying for the sick
* When God says no
I've found this book to be one of the very best ones
in helping readers understand, accept, and even
embrace the suffering and chronic illness they
experience in their life that is also based on
biblical truth and not skewed interpretations of it.
Dunn nails the topic of illness and suffering and
all that goes along with it--such as coping with the
social stigma and learning how to interpret
scripture on the subject of healing--with integrity,
compassion and the personal experience as one who
has been there.
If I had just one book I could give everyone with a
chronic illness, this book-- Will God Heal Me? God's
Power and Purpose in Suffering--would be it!
Do you have a friend with an illness? If you have
ever wondered about the Christian who WAS NOT
divinely healed of a terminal or chronic illness you
should read this book too. It shatters the myth that
illness only strikes believers who have transgressed
God in some way or that healing cannot be imparted
based simply upon a lack of faith. It will help you
understand the roller coaster of emotions your
friend may be going through as well as the spiritual
journey of coming to terms with God's purpose in the
pain. |
