Product Description:
'I am the happiest man in the world because God entrusted me with this mission.'
In John of God: The Brazilian Healer Who's Touched the Lives of Millions, a seemingly average rancher from Abadiania, Brazil, offers a powerful message of love, compassion, and hope for humanity. Jose Teixeira de Faria, the healer and medium known as John of God, allows 'spirit doctors' to take over his body three times a week to miraculously treat the thousands of people from all over the world who come in need of remedy. John of God has fulfilled his mission as a medium for more than forty-eight years, making numerous pilgrimages around the world. Drawn by the hope of instantaneous healing, over eight million believers have proceeded in front of him throughout his life, as tens of thousands journey to Brazil each year to see John of God and his home, the Casa de Dom Inancio de Loyola, which is designed to accommodate hundreds of visitors each day. Despite all the media attention paid to this inter-nationally praised healer, little has been revealed about his personal life. Translator Heather Cumming and photographer Karen Leffler have traveled with John of God and chronicled his life and work. What began as an endeavor to document the testimonials of his remarkable healings has now become the very first complete, authorized portrait of his world. Stirring words and vivid photographs -- many of which capture the haunting spiritual energy that surrounds John of God and the Casa -- take us on an affecting and deeply personal journey with the humble medium who offers hope for people with none. The result is an intimate portrait of an ordinary individual in extraordinary circumstances and a reading experience that will bring readers of every persuasion closer to their faith.

I have read a number of books about John of God and this recent work is very easy to read and describes a number of this remarkable man's most recent healings. Having experienced very first hand the genuine nature of John of God I can only say that this book is a true account of what this man is all about

i just had the opportunity to see John of God at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY (his second visit to the U.S.). i did read the book first, and was skeptical but open-minded. the experience turned out to be so personal, so spiritual that i have never felt as close to god and spirit as i did when i was instructed to sit in one of the current rooms to receive a healing. reading the book and of others' experiences, however miraculous, cannot compare to having experienced actually being in his presence. it will leave you with no doubt that he is the real thing. i know certain debunkers have claimed that he does this for the money, but his devotion to his calling in service to others pales to all the ways there are to make money in this world. and if he does make money at it, he well deserves every penny of it and more. he should be a very wealthy man. why is it that the debunkers will cry and point their fingers at miracle workers such as John of God and make claims that they only do it for the money, while doctors are allowed to charge for their services and its acceptable and expected? even miracle workers have bills to pay and need food, clothing and shelter. why should they be expected to do it for free and have to explain to the world what they do with the money they collect (on a donation basis, by the way). god give gifts and talents to musicians, artists and many of us, does that mean we do not have the right to charge for our services? thank you, John of God, for your self-sacrifice and for those that help you at the Casa. If everyone in our world just had a small piece of the godliness of your work, wow - what a wonderful world it would be. i thank you for my healing. god bless.

There are many questions the average visitor has about the Casa, and John of God. This book to me is truly an inside look that accurately portraits the healing, loving atmosphere that exists in the hearts of The Entities, the volunteers, and most of all Medium Joao, who has devoted his life to aiding the suffering of humanity. Here we read about courage, hope, and the benevolent spirits who work through this humble man. I have been to John of God five times, yet found this book so helpful and inspiring to read, and I referred to it many times on my most recent trip. I recommend it to all seekers who wish to be touched by healing.

I was very pleased to read a book that carried the same feelings and thoughts of living in this little town second by second with what we all seem to absorb. I am touched by writers who can convey to me once again what I felt while being there at The Casa. A true feeling of still being there while providing more facts and insights to an amzing community of volunteers, helpers, healers, and to John of God.
Thank you all for this book !

Every day literally hundreds of people wait in a small Brazilian town to see John of God, renown for his miraculous healing abilities. This is the very first authorized portrait of his life and miracles, charting how the uneducated tailour began his life of service at age 16 after being visited by a vision. Colour photos document his healings and some of those who have been healed, reviewing his messages and the impact he's had on the lives of his followers. Any in-depth spirituality collection will find it a top pick.
