"You will be riveted by The Essential Guide to Healing, by both the theology of healing so clearly explained and the practical applications that these two apostolic leaders have been teaching daily for years now. Some parts of healing remain a holy mystery in God, but it has been written that God reveals His secrets to His friends. Since Randy and Bill are known as friends of God, that may explain why there is so much wisdom and revelation packed into one volume."
