After experiencing healing following a nervous breakdown, Canon Jim Glennon became well known for his healing ministry, from 1960 until he died in 2005. This compilation preserves his teaching as a practical resource for today's reader. Set out as daily readings (five/week for a year), each day has a Bible verse, a reading, the sermon notes, a key thought, and a sentence prayer.

Many helpful topics relate to faith and healing, and I was challenged over the need for discipline and persistence in prayer. I found myself reviewing my capacity to pray in faith without doubting, to truly forgive, to let go of the burden, and to remember the reality of the Kingdom of God. He clearly believes in working alongside medical care, but I do worry that some who remain unwell might feel accused of lack of faith. Some faith-enhancing ideas expressed (believing for others and accepting Christ for others) raise eyebrows.

Although I understood his arguments better by the end, they needed further reflection. Some parts I found repetitive and a little tedious, and I was uneasy about some dogmatic statements and biblical interpretation. The book should be used both with an open mind and with discernment.
