In recent years, the interest in healing as a response to prayer has grown greatly. Besides the traditional Christian faith in the power of prayer, 'other factors contribute to this growth of interest: in particular, the charismatic renewal, in which healings of different kinds occur frequently, and the renewal of the sacraments of healing. It is against this background that Fr Faricy has written. His approach is simple and direct: of wrote this book to help you to pray for your own inner healing. It contains many references to scripture and much theology; I have tried to present food for reflection prayer, not at all watered down but set forth in such a way as to be practical. It is a book to be prayed through.' Scripture and theology there may be, but they are not really difficult to understand, and along with them is much good advice and spiritual counsel from a writer whose personal ministry has already on him a large following.
