I was angered and distraught as I read an article detailing how a group of people who claimed to believe in God’s healing power withheld insulin from a young diabetic girl. Regrettably, but predictably, she died as they “prayed and sang” over her

Thank you for your new book, 'Healing Whats Within'. It drew me in and helped me attune to the still, small voice of God that had always been there. There truly is healing within these pages.

Living with Religious Scrupulosity or Moral OCD Alan Noble writes that OCD requires him to keep faith in God’s goodness as mediated through the wise voices of other people who will his good.
