Book excerpt: In June of 1989 Carl was suddenly paralyzed from the shoulders down by a virus while vacationing in Switzerland. On his return to the states, the doctors told him his neural system was destroyed and he would never walk again. A little over a year later he walked unaided. Just as he began celebrating his healing, his wife was diagnosed with leukemia. She didn't survive, even with a bone marrow transplant. From these experiences Carl began a spiritual journey for his own personal healing, traveling to prayer conferences to learn from intercessory prayer leaders about healing and the relationship of prayer to healing. At the same time he looked at the life of Christ, only to discover Christ seemed to have no consistent strategy in healing. Or did he?
