Description
Daily biblical reflections to encourage anyone facing sickness or an uncertain future.
These sixty short daily reflections, each based on a verse from the Bible, will guide a believer facing serious sicknessand his or her familyto a rock-solid faith and trust in the will of God. With confidence in the healing power of God and the possibility of miracles, the Blumhardts, a father-son team of pastors renowned for their healing ministry, point us away from our troubles and toward a Creator who is supremely wise and good and wants the best for each of us.
In a world where medical advances seem to promise a cure for everything, its tempting to believe that we can live free of pain. But we know that even the best medicine cannot extend life forever or solve the riddles of physical and emotional illness. How, then, to respond to the inevitability of suffering And how to help those who live in fear of disease to conquer their daily worry about their diagnosis What better place to turn than to these words of comfort and hope drawn from the Word of God
As Rick Warren writes in his foreword, the Blumhardts remind us that physical healing is not Gods greatest answer to prayer. Whatever circumstance you are facing right now, this book of daily readings will help you focus on a closer relationship with Jesus, our one true spiritual healer.

Author Bio
Johann Christoph Blumhardt (18051880), a German pastor, is remembered to this day for his role in the extraordinary events surrounding the revival at Mttlingen, which is recounted in The Awakening, by Friedrich Zuendel.
His son, Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt (18421919) influenced a generation of theologians, including Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Emil Brunner, Oscar Cullman, and Karl Barth, as well as thousands of ordinary people who traveled from all over Europe seeking healing and wholeness.
Rick Warren is a best-selling author and founding and senior pastor of Saddleback Church, now one of the largest churches in the United States.
