Excellent issue Thank you for this most excellent Journal, the April 2015 issue ! I found the articles fresh and written with a touch of humility. Joan Andrews was right when she said most of us have not given much thought to “the phenomena of improvisation.
Treasured issue The February 2015 Journal is one to be treasured! So many wonderful articles. One, in particular, led to an immediate healing—Margit Hammerstrom’s article “ The moving train—and a lesson about illusion.
Very clear [“ No healing yet? Silence the antichrist! ” Nathan Talbot, February 2015, Journal ] Thank you so much for making it very clear that we can stand up to the antichrist, and showing us what it claims to be, and how we can meet this claim effectively! Suzanne Ruffin JSH-Online. com Web post So grateful I am very grateful for the interview with Valerie Unger in the February Journal, “ ‘Feed my sheep’—Deepening our commitment to healing.
Deep appreciation In deep appreciation for Barbara Cook Spencer’s article: “ The importance, value, and power of one ” (January 2015 Journal ), I can testify to the great need to value what each of us has to share. We are a precious facet of one stupendous whole.
Bible story unlocked I do treasure the article “ Out of dark—into the light ” by Carol Rounds in the November 2014 Journal. Though I have spent many hours with the Bible story of the Gadarene, I felt that I was only ever able to partially understand it and felt that I was left hanging out in space waiting for it to completely unfold.
Growth in grace The author of “ Redemption through God’s love ” in the December Journal has proven Christ’s Christianity for himself. Growth in grace and understanding lived and loved through a grasp of the infinite fills this article to overflowing.
Scientific testing Scott Preller’s editorial, “Experiments in Truth,” in the November Journal brings out beautifully the need to apply Science correctly. He writes, “Like any good scientist, we must be willing to do the disciplined work involved.
Insights on Church I’ve wrestled with how to enhance my role as an active church member beyond serving an organization. Geoffrey Barratt’s article in the September 2014 Journal comes as a welcomed blessing to all of us desiring to share healing with our communities and the world.
Effective prayer I’m grateful for the article “ Consider it done ” by Alan Lindgren in the July Journal . He clearly explains why asking our Father for material things or human solutions isn’t effective prayer.
A standout I found the article “ Unconventional prayer ” by Caryl Emra Farkas in the June Journal a standout. Why? Because it’s quite original and encourages us to dig deeper, to ponder.
