This preface introduces a book about healing through faith in God. It acknowledges that some Christians doubt God's ability or willingness to heal today. The preface aims to show through testimonies that faith in God can be contagious and stir faith in readers to receive their own miracles. It describes the author's experience with her husband's 16-year struggle with mental illness and medication, and eventual healing through exercising their faith in Christ and divine health. This experience gives the author confidence to write about the power of God to heal permanently where doctors can offer no cure.

2. PREFACE
In writing any book on healing or on testimonies of healing, one is
always very aware that many people, even Christians, argue tenaciously as
to whether God still heals today or if He heals at will. Many Christians
frequently pray without believing that they will receive answers. In fact,
some don’t even expect answers. Perhaps they feel disappointed from an
experience in the past when prayers remained unanswered. When the
answers come, some dismiss these answers, believing instead that “it is
too good to be true.” But nothing is too good to be true with God. Then
there are others who doubt the authenticity of testimonies they hear and
attribute healing to coincidences or may even try to explain these
testimonies away.
This book has not been written with the intention to try and convince
you on any of the points raised above. That is not my job or mandate.
However, the words in this book have the ability to let you see for yourself
that faith in God is contagious. What do I mean? This book has the ability
to stir your faith for you to receive that miracle you require! This book is
not based on heretics, neither is it an account of self-healing. This book is
solely about the power, supremacy, and compassion of God. God’s power
heals and, more importantly, keeps you healed.

3. What gives me the audacity to write such a book? Close friends and
family saw the steps my husband and I took toward winning our fight of
faith and exercising our rights in Christ to a divine health. Jesus came to
give us life to the full (see John 10:10). Some of our friends even had
eyewitness accounts, tasting the realities of mental sickness or its effects.
I am sure many may have resigned my husband to a life of medication
and recurrent bouts of mental sickness, and who could blame them? The
odds were stacked against him. I do not by any account today make light
of our journey, however. A journey in which there were times I cried to
God in apparent distress. I have wiped the tears just like many of you
reading this book right now. During those times all I hoped for was an end
to the torture of mental illness. A few times, I even felt like running away.
But in the end, I came to realize it was faith, not my tears, needed to get
the victory we so immensely and sometimes desperately desired. This is
what gives me the audacity to write this book.
Often doctors can offer no permanent cure for mental illness, as with
several other illnesses in the world today. My husband was on various medications
for about sixteen years and was eventually discharged indefinitely
in the eighteenth year. My husband can do much more today
than he did before those eighteen years, before it all started. When
doctors told my husband he must stay on medication that made him feel
dopey and slowed him down, amongst many other horrible side effects, God had a
better solution. I want to share that solution with you. This is
what gives me the audacity to write this book.
