The Importance of Inner Healing and Deliverance for Effective Discipleship: A Working Model for the Local Church
Ebook
Personal encounters with God are vital for the current generation of believers--the postmodern/millennial generation who affirm truth through experience. Instead of the traditional view of inner healing and deliverance (IHD) as a "hospital unit" of the church, this dissertation-turned-book will explain the biblical, theological, and current relevance of incorporating IHD into the discipleship structure of the local church. With field research based in Singapore and Taiwan, a grounded theory based on empirical research attests to a framework that enables believers to personally and powerfully encounter God, experience divine healing and wholeness, and become equipped for ongoing sanctification.
“In this important and helpful book, Johnathan Lee clearly
describes how inner healing and deliverance should be an essential
component of every local church’s discipleship structure, and not
just be a specialized ministry to the deeply troubled as in a
‘hospital unit.’ Highly recommended!”
—Siang-Yang Tan, Professor of Psychology, Fuller Theological
Seminary, and author of Counseling and Psychotherapy: A
Christian Perspective
“Without a doubt, Johnathan Lee has authored one of the most
important works on inner healing. Not only does he connect the
practice to the Scriptures, but he also shows why it should be
incorporated into the discipleship programs of every local
congregation. This is a powerful book that every Christian leader
should read. Even though I teach on this topic and am a
practitioner of inner healing, my knowledge base greatly benefited
from the book’s careful scholarship and practical focus.”
—W. P. Payne, Professor of Evangelism and World Missions and
Director of Chaplaincy Studies, Ashland Theological Seminary
“This book deserves to be on the active bookshelf of every serious
Christian leader. Well-documented and researched, it probes the
real vulnerabilities in today’s church when a prevailing worldview
does not allow for inner healing and deliverance as a normal
component of salvation in Christian discipleship. Johnathan Lee
provides a challenging and essential tool of restoration for the
twenty-first-century church.”
—Alistair P. Petrie, Executive Director, Partnership
Ministries
“This book is a result of more than a decade of teaching and
practice in the ministry of inner healing and deliverance. I have
personally witnessed the fruits and its impact on discipleship
development in our church. It will challenge your thinking, provide
ample opportunity for reflections, and provide a dynamic model on
how it can be practiced under the ambiance and auspices of local
church pastoral leadership, as it should always be.”
