The Importance of Inner Healing and Deliverance for Effective Discipleship: A Working Model for the Local Church - Hardcover

by Johnathan Lee Shoo Chiang (Author), Dominic Yeo (Foreword by)

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.
