Diagnosed with inoperable and fast-spreading breast cancer, Pat McLaughlin faced certain death. Acknowledging her fate, she came to realize that she was more than sick in the body; she was sick emotionally and spiritually as well. She turned to prayer and rediscovered God's loving presence and the healing touch of Jesus. When she was miraculously cured of her cancer, she found that she was healed on all levels.
    In this spirit-filled book, she shares her story and helps her readers to find the healing touch of Jesus in their lives, and to know God's love in a new relationship of intimacy. But it is more than just the story of her personal spiritual journey; it is a practical guide to learning trust in the healing power of God in our lives, and in finding empowerment for our brokenness through the use of prayer.
    The Jesus Walk provides important help and advice for those suffering emotional or physical illness. It also speaks to their families and friends, charismatics, clergy and pastoral workers, spiritual directors and health care workers. It is a guidebook for all who want to know more about all aspects of the healing ministry.
    Patricia A. McLaughlin authors stories and articles for all ages, some of which have been featured on the radio program, "A Time for Hope." She has been active in pastoral ministry since 1979, and is a member of the society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and the Association of Christian Therapists.
