Healed at Last separating biblical truth from myth

Meningitis at the age of three left Scott Blackwell with a legacy of serious life-long health problems, including the severe limp he still walks with. But his physical ailments were only the half of it. By his own admission, he found himself at the age of eighteen "tired, starving, sick, experimenting widely with any drug I could find, mildly suicidal, and alone". This book tells how God brought profound healing into Scott Blackwell's life. But it is also the story of Scott's search for what the Bible teaches about physical healing, in this life and the next. Many Christian pastors make strong claims today about God's promise to heal all our physical illnesses. What are we to make of these claims? What does the Bible actually teach about healing? Scott's examination of these important issues is personal, warm, practical, and often funny. But it is also clear, thorough and compelling in its presentation of the Bible's teaching about healing. Healed at Last offers truth, hope and encouragement for everyone who longs to be healed.

You cannot read Healed at Last and not be irresistibly drawn to the cross...It's simply the best thing I've ever read on the issue of healing in the Christian spiritual walk. It really is a wonderful book that clearly sets out a deeply real, a deeply touching and above all theological understanding of healing. Rev Dr Ken Simpson
