Pacific Book Review
To achieve a true relationship with God is to know that He is always there. The book explores concepts under the premise that God cares more about your healing than you do, and how understanding this can strengthen your spiritual journey. The exploration of faith takes you through valuable lessons about God’s Word and understanding His spiritual concepts by dissecting what the Bible says about what faith is. The goal of the book is to guide how to receive from God His bounty and love, while also serving as a pathway to enriching your life. This takes you step by step through how to take a walk with God and the best way to receive love through this walk while growing in your faith.
The book incorporates a personal approach with Author Delores J. Porter sharing real experiences from her spiritual journey which serve as a basis for the content. The introduction sets up concepts that stem from areas of Christianity that she learned growing up focusing on seeking and understanding healing, faith, and miracles. These lessons are highlighted in each chapter with honesty about uncertainties that people may have when it comes to faith, particularly when it comes to hardships or illness. By addressing these thoughts, the book has a grounded tone which makes the content easier for anyone to relate to and maintains a core foundation of faith in God’s Word. The structure of the book is well-organized, with each chapter focusing on different themes which are supported by Bible verses and commentary. The Bible verses highlight scriptures which talk about God’s love, righteousness, and gifts, which create a devotional that makes the most of its opportunity to talk about His promises.
The structure is that of a devotional with Porter interspersing real experiences, such as praying for what her aunt had endured and her mother’s fear of surgery. This allows people to read at their own pace with the chapters structured with sections that make it easy to take notes for personal study or discuss in a Bible study. These moments add reality to the book that shows Porter as a person seeking the same solace and answers as the readers. This is accomplished using quiet moments of reflection throughout the chapters and the inclusion of testimonies, such as of her mother’s healing from cancer, thus backing up the spiritual arguments which are made. These touch on different types of healing (spiritual, mental, and physical) which explore the premise of God’s involvement in healing what ails people. The themes are derived from this premise, and topics are easily discussed, providing avenues for spiritual conversations.
The tone primarily stays positive and uplifting, looking to encourage people on their journeys and give them a resource that will give them comfort, reflection, and answers. Among the concepts included are the five lies told by Satan, miracles witnessed, and the three baptisms. These are used to seek an answer to ‘what is faith’ and explore what duties people have when it comes to their faith. The author’s writing takes a conversational approach giving the content a nice flow permitting readers time to sit with each concept and point. The book blends opinion, perspective, Biblical verses, and Strong’s Concordance to analyze, study, and contemplate topics related to faith, healing, miracles, and devotion.
God Has Never Said No to Anyone’s Healing is a thought-provoking and faith-driven resource that is dedicated to exploring healing, understanding God’s role, and seeking miracles. Additionally, this book would resonate well with readers who have wrestled with unanswered prayers or are navigating illness, offering both theological insight and spiritual encouragement.
