Most Catholics did not grow up learning how to pray with others for healing or expecting that their prayers could be powerful and transformative. Francis MacNutt, an early leader in the Catholic charismatic renewal and head of Christian Healing Ministries, encourages Catholics to do both. This easy-to-read and informative book includes a step-by-step guide for how to pray with others; explains the various types of healings that we can expect--physical, emotional, spiritual; discusses the healing effects of the sacraments; and features stories of people who have been healed through prayer.
The Practice of Healing Prayer A Howto Guide for Catholics edition by Francis MacNutt Religion Spirituality eBooks
This succinct book is just what the title states: A how-to guidebook for healing prayer--especially the laying-on-of-hands sort. It deals specifically with healing in a Catholic context, but it would be useful to ANYONE who wants to learn to pray more effectively for healing within a Protestant Christian context, too. The book traces changing attitudes toward healing prayer over the centuries within the Catholic church. It deals with mental blocks that some Catholics (or other Christians) experience towards performing faith-healing, such as the idea that only very saintly persons or specially "called" healers can heal, or the fear that one's faith is not great enough to accomplish "faith"-healing. According to the author, any Christian can have success doing healing prayer, and he offers lots of real evidence and encouragement for this. He gives practical, simple, down-to-earth instructions about how to proceed and what to expect. The book deals with inner healing of memories and emotions as well as physical healing. It deals with obstacles to healing. It makes the important point that healing prayer often requires perseverence over a period of time, and the book tells how to proceed over an extended period of prayer. There are also tips here pertaining to demonic deliverance. Especially interesting is a section about the effective role of sacramentals in healing and deliverance--blessed oil, blessed salt, and blessed "holy" water. Since the 1960s, the author has been especially devoted to healing ministry so has a great deal of experience to draw upon. In this and other books, MacNutt's passion is to help create a restoration of the kind of healing practice that was once common among all Christians in the early Christian churchs. This book is useful, informative, and well worth studying as a Christian healing resource.Product details

The Practice of Healing Prayer A Howto Guide for Catholics edition by Francis MacNutt Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Inspiring ande encouraging.
The author makes a compelling case why we should start praying for healing for those God puts in our lives. Why not? If God loves us, and he does, he will show up.
It was exciting to read that ordinary people can pray for healing thru laying of hands or just be present to the sick. And that it can also work for those that are either emotional, mental or spiritually ill.
I have several people that I am going to have them read this book and start a team of healing prayer partners. There are so many within our
Own family and friends that I know will let us pray over them. Once these healings or transformations happen, it will help re-energize people who are already believers and convert a few that don't. Thank You, Francis for writing this book and making it easy to understand. God Bless! -)
Met this author and was so inspired that I wanted to get this book right away. A good easy to read book..love it!
I would recommend to read this book to all Catholic laypeople.
After reading, you can understand why we have to pray for the sick and also how to pray. As the author repeatedly address, the healing prayer is not for special persons such as priests or gifted layperson, but for all Catholics and it is not difficult at all. Try at home for your family first!
On April 9, 2013, my father passed away in my home at the age of 90. My husband and I cared for him for the last 15 years; the last year of which he suffered from severe Alzheimer's disease and had reverted back to infancy. On September 25, 2013, a younger brother (a recovering alcoholic who we worked with and cared for since December of 2005) committed suicide. Although I prayed FOR both my father and brother every day, I did not know HOW to pray WITH them, especially with my brother. We supported him through an inpatient rehab program and helped get him back on his feet each time he relapsed over the eight years he struggled with his sobriety while under our care. Perhaps what he need most was for me to pray healing prayers WITH him, but I just didn't know how. I regret that such an important part of his recovery was omitted out of my ignorance. Perhaps he might have been able to fight his inner demons, if the Practice of Healing Prayer were more widely embraced.
Francis MacNutt and his wife Judith are leaders in the healing prayer ministry; they are gifted ministers and have a vast experience with healing prayers. In the book, Francis writes specifically to Roman Catholics to educate and introduce them to the concept of healing prayer. He offers basic concepts, Biblical background, instructions and counsel. This book is by no means only for the novice. I found it very refreshing and useful, especially because Dr. MacNutt is so honest and transparent about healing prayers. He is certainly a qualified expert on the subject who admits that often he seems to lack convincing faith and/or the answers to so many of the questions about healing prayers and how God answers them. I think his humility is a sign of his spiritual maturity and experience with the topic.
I appreciated this book, and I am an Anglican priest and pastor not a Roman Catholic. I suggest that any readers interested in the topic should not be turned off by the fact that the target audience is Roman Catholic. MacNutt does include nuances that are strictly Roman Catholic such as praying to Mary for help or intercession, but I was not turned off by this. I just recognize that it is not my tradition, and I respect it and consider how I might learn from it.
I think this would be a great book to use for training lay people in the church to be prayer ministers for those who are in need of healing. After reading this book, I would direct readers to the MacNutts' other books on healing and deliverance, too.
