Epperly outlines four disciplines of holistic spiritual transformation. He reveals the importance of the sabbath as a healing sanctuary in time. He sees daily meditation as a discipline which can center our lives. He shares biblical affirmations which lift his spirit. The fourth practice is the use of creative visualizations and imagination as tools God has given us to transform our days. In chapters on prayer and the search for the miraculous, Epperly demonstrates the important role of faith in healing and in supporting those who are ill. This excellent paperback vividly connects recent developments in holistic health to the resources and traditions of the Christian faith. Bravo!
