More Than a Healer: Not the Jesus You Want, but the Jesus You Need
Our hearts, our bodies, and our world are desperate for healing. We all experience brokenness, and we rightfully look to Jesus for restoration. But many Christians have been taught the lie that God will heal us if our faith is strong enough, and that he is punishing us when bad things happen. Growing up in one of the world's leading faith-healing dynasties, Costi Hinn witnessed the tragedy of people chasing after healing more than the Healer. In this book he provides biblical clarity to some of the most challenging questions of the Christian faith. Does grace guarantee healing? How do we catch ourselves from slipping into the trap of seeking God for what he can do for us and not for who he really is? Beginning with the vivid memory of the night he discovered his son's cancer diagnosis—Costi unpacks the layered feelings and questions we have about God and his healing power, and he provides practical principles for growing closer to Jesus. With gentle clarity and biblical wisdom, he explains how to:
• Faithfully pray for healing while trusting in God's sovereignty.
• Navigate tough conversations about the topics of divine healing, love, and justice.
• Hold on to faith even in the most painful trials.
More than chasing after the Jesus we want, this hopeful and encouraging book will guide you to discovering the Jesus we truly need—and the true power and hope that comes from a genuine relationship with him.

‘The ultimate healing is in the resurrection, and it awaits all of us who know him. May our hearts overflow with gratitude when he chooses to heal here and now, but may our ultimate hope rest in the blood-bought eternal healing that is his absolute promise. Costi Hinn knows this to be true and is a voice of God speaking hope-giving truth in a world of lies, not only outside the church but sometimes inside.’ RANDY ALCORN, author, If God Is Good, Happiness, and Heaven
