Touching the Hem: A Biblical Response to Physical Suffering

I gave this book such a low rating because the author writes from a Cessationist position, which I disagree with, and because she tends to lump everyone who believes miraculous healing is for today into one sweeping category. Yes, there are people out there with counterfeit gifts, and/or with bad motives, simply looking for a thrill or gobbling up donations made by desperate patients. This, however, doesn't mean that the real, genuine gift of healing does not exist, nor does it mean that all who seek healing in this way are acting in disobedience to God.

The earlier chapters on the character of god and the nature of suffering, etc, were good. I only wish the author hadn't been so harsh toward those who may indeed be seeking God and striving to obey him in all things.
