In times of need, find refuge in the healing ministry of Jesus.

We are all in need of healing, whether of body, mind, or spirit. And into our need steps Jesus, the healer from Nazareth. Join Amy Ekeh on an exploration of some of the most profound and personal moments in the life of Jesus, whose compassion ignited a healing ministry rich in encounter, presence, and connection. These forty reflections take us deep into the heart of powerful Gospel stories, helping us hear and experience them anew so we too may stretch out our hands--to receive and to extend the remarkable healing ministry of Jesus.
