When all seems lost, where can you find hope? Katherine and Jay Wolf married right after college and sought adventure far from home in Los Angeles, CA. As they pursued their dreams--she as a model and he as a lawyer--they planted their lives in the city and their church community. Their son, James, came along unexpectedly in the fall of 2007, and just six months later, everything changed in a moment for this young family. On April 21, 2008, as James slept in the other room, Katherine collapsed, suffering a massive brain stem stroke without warning. Miraculously, Jay came home in time and called for help. Katherine was immediately rushed into brain surgery, though her chance of survival was slim. As the sun rose the next morning, the surgeon proclaimed that Katherine had survived the removal of part of her brain, though her future recovery was uncertain. Yet in that moment, there was a spark of hope. Through forty days on life support in the ICU and nearly two years in full-time brain rehab, that small spark of hope was fanned into flame. Hope Heals documents Katherine and Jay's journey as they struggled to regain Katherine's quality of life and as she relearned to talk, eat, and walk. As Katherine returned home with a severely disabled body but a completely renewed purpose, she and Jay committed to celebrating this gift of a second chance by embracing life fully, even though that life looked very different than they could have ever imagined. As you uncover Katherine and Jay's remarkable story, you'll be encouraged to: Find lasting hope in the midst of struggle Embrace the unexpected Welcome God's miracles into your everyday life In the midst of continuing hardships, both in body and mind, Katherine and Jay found what we all long to find: a hope that heals the most broken place--our souls. Let Hope Heals be your guide along the way. Praise for Hope Heals: "As I read this book, tears streamed from my eyes even as joy flooded my heart. Jay and Katherine are a raw yet refreshing testimony to the unshakable trustworthiness of God amidst the unimaginable trials of life. This book reminds all of us where hope can be found in a world where none of us know what the next day holds." --David Platt, author of the New York Times bestseller Radical and president of the International Mission Board "Hope Heals is a beautiful, true story that illustrates the love and protection God has for us even in the darkest times of our lives. Katherine and Jay's dedication to each other and the Lord through their most devastating season is inspiring. This book will help your heart believe that He sees, He knows, He cares, and He is still working miracles today!" --Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries

I wrote this book so Christians can get the right perspective on the Word of God, the Bible, to get an understanding of the Word on healing. If you're a Christian and serve God, you have covenant rights in the Word of God. The Lord healed his people in the old covenant and the new. Jesus not only bore our sins on the cross to save us, he also bore our sicknesses so we could be healed "by whose stripes we were healed" (Isaiah 53:3-5). In this book I go into detail in the word of God about how healing belongs to us; it's our God-given covenant right, and Jesus paid the price for it. There are many ways to be healed in the Word of God. In this book I go into specific detail regarding how to walk and live in divine health and how to receive your healing. As a minister, I have seen people healed time after time. God can't lie or fail just believe.

The Bible tells us that those who place their trust in Jesus and pray in one of His many names will be rewarded with gifts of joy, peace, and power. Join Ann Spangler, bestselling author of Praying the Names of God, as she guides you into a richer and more rewarding relationship with Christ by helping you to understand and pray His names on a daily basis. His many titles, including "Good Shepherd," "Bread of Life," "Light of the World," "Prince of Peace," and "Bright Morning Star," reveal who Jesus is and why he came into this world. But how much do you know about Jesus' names? Praying the Names of Jesus is a twenty-six-week devotional study that explores the most prominent names of Jesus throughout the New Testament. Each name or title is broken down into three sections each week: Monday: Study a portion of Scripture that reveals a specific name of Jesus Tuesday through Thursday: Pray specific Scripture passages related to the name Friday: Pray Scripture promises connected to the name As you learn more about the many names of Jesus, you'll gain a more intimate knowledge of Jesus and his plan for your life, move toward a deeper experience of his love and mercy, and see how each of his names holds within it a promise: Teacher, Healer, Friend, Lord--and God with Us, no matter what we're facing.

Jesus Healed You! ...is more than just the name of this book. It is a reality that is available for every person to experience. No matter the severity of your condition (even as it looks now!) remember that Jesus Christ has already healed you. Notice what His word says in 1 Peter 2:24: “By whose stripes ye were healed” It’s a past tense…it’s a done deal! Many say: "HIS time for my cure has not yet come...” We are actually insulting Jesus and His finished work for us, as the work was already done over 2000 years ago. It’s already there in the spiritual realm. We just got to reach out to it! Sadly, many have waited for years in despair for 'His time' and gone in that condition, not knowing they already had it, but just not claimed it! One of the most important things that every believer needs to know is how to receive divine healing that has already been provided for us from the Lord and how to live in good health. Unfortunately, because of our wrong religious upbringings, many of us have been taught that God doesn't always heal; either He puts sicknesses on us to teach us something, or He gets glory out of our being sick or even that healing has passed away. But according to the scriptures, healing comes from God and sickness and disease comes from the devil. God plainly shows us in His Word that He is the Great Physician and the devil is the afflicter: Exodus 15:26: "...FOR I AM THE LORD THAT HEALETH THEE." So healing is yours now! Jesus Christ paid a great price to provide healing for you. All you have to do is know out how to receive it. This book is therefore to help introduce Jesus the Healer, and enable you to claim the healing HE has already provided for. Healing is the manifestation of God’s love for you and me. The Bible shows us that Jesus came as the perfect representation of God's heart towards mankind. Everyone mentioned in the Bible who came to Jesus for healing were made well. Healing is not something you get because you deserve it. It’s a free gift from God for all people. God wants you healed and He wants you to have good health. So just Fasten Your Seat Belt and Expect a Move of God as you read through the pages of this book, claiming your healing that He has already provided!
