Jesus Christ Heals (Forgotten Books)

Charles Fillmore, co-founder of Unity, is definitely one of the foremost metaphysical teachers and authors. Each of his books is worth studying at least once. This isn't to say that one should agree with all of his expressed viewpoints. He himself fought against his movement's having a specific credo, arguing that as times change, perspectives change. But his viewpoints are all well thought out and well worth examining. The book does give a metaphysical interpretation of the Bible, and as such, I don't recommend it to staunch Biblical literalists. As the title suggests, this book does go deeply into the healing process from the metaphysical perspective, and the astute reader will learn why a healing might not occur in his life, and how to correct the situation. This definitely is not an anti-medical book. Fillmore believed that a person may well need to go to doctors, if he feels he must. On the other hand, he did not believe that a person can be truly healed without faith in the healing power of God, whether that healing power comes directly to the patient, or through the hands of a medical practitioner. I do recommend the study guide at the end of the book which provides questions which help the reader to focus on the key points of each chapter.
