Faith Healing Book

Let me start by saying that I LOVED this book..when I picked it up I was really in the mood for something different, and that's definitely what I got. The night I started it I had to force myself to put it down and go to sleep..and I finished it shortly after waking up the next morning..its a quick and easy read, but one that will stay with you long after you finish it.

The author, Wendy Stofan Halley, is contacted by the family of a young man who mysteriously slips into a coma. The doctors in charge of his treatment are pretty much at a loss as to what is going on with him, and tell his family that they aren't hopeful about his recovery. Halley is a shamanic healer, and his family contacts her in hopes that she can help. What follows is the story, told strictly from Halley's point of view, of their nine months of treatment sessions.

The full title of the book is "Slaying the Mouse; A true story of healing in the spiritual realms," and that's what the story is about. Readers learn about the ancient art of shamanic healing, and about how Wendy and the spirit helpers help Jason recover from his coma. Some people will find the book a little too "out there," for their liking, but if you have any spiritual beliefs at all, you'll adore this book the way I did.

It's written clearly and in a way that you are sucked into the journey along with Jason and Wendy. You're there as Jason struggles to come to terms with not only the spiritual aspects of it all, but with himself and his fears and limitations as well. It's a beautiful story, and I can't say enough good things about it without ruining the whole thing for potential readers..

Go get a copy..read it..you'll love it.
