This is a refreshing book that brings both truth and light to the lives of those who read it. Dr. Hannen uses the wisdom from the past with the science of the present, blended with Gods timeless laws to give Christians the knowledge they need to gain and maintain health. Only a clinician of his caliber would have the insight to guide one along the path to wellness that Dr. Hannen discusses.

T o my loving wife, Aneesa, and my incredible son, Chas, for all the love and support given during the long hours you endured while I was completing this project.

To my parents and family who have always supported and never stopped believing in me.

To all of my friends and mentors who have made so many valuable deposits into my life.

To Stephen Strang and the entire team at Strang Communications who allowed me the opportunity to reach the masses with this message. From the deepest part of my heart, thank you, and may the blessings of God be upon you.

T here is a wide variety of medical books on the market today that discuss many different facets of health and healing. Some books cover only the surgical and drug approaches to illness, which conventional medicine practices; others focus on nutrition, vitamin and mineral therapies, mind over matter, and other self-care approaches. There are also books that examine the doctrine of divine healing, showing biblical principles that promise healing through faith and prayer alone.

This book focuses on several of these elements of healing that, as a skilled physician, I have personally witnessed and found to be effective for bringing healing to the body and for maintaining superior health. However, the focus of this book is a perspective of health care and healing that tends to go unrecognized by many, especially by those who have been trained in the popular, though faulty, philosophy that promises a pill for every ill, sometimes resulting in people becoming victims of deception.

Of all the subjects I discuss with people, health seems to be the one people know the least about. Our society is filled with people who are highly educated about all kinds of sports, television personalities, hobbies, jobs, local and world events, and other less-impacting issues of life. I often wonder how many of these well-educated people could give correct answers to pass a ten-point quiz about basic health principles. I can guess their answers would be conflicting because there are so many different opinions about health issues presented by various approaches to health care.

This book is focused primarily on the way God designed our bodies and how He included natural mechanisms to restore and maintain our bodies in health. It will also expose problems to our health and show how people are led down the destructive path to sickness and disease. Biblical concepts of divine healing and faith are also briefly referenced to provide a broader understanding of Gods design for our healingbody, soul, and spirit.

I have chosen to accept the Bible as a foundational reference for my life because its truths have stood the test of time. Although there have been many attempts of science to disprove biblical claims, in the end science usually validates what the Bible teaches. Regarding health, God gave us principles of lifestyle to understand and practice that will help us maintain and restore health for our whole person. And He also promises to heal with His supernatural intervention, through faith and prayer.

If your belief system does not allow for divine healing, that is fine. Allow yourself to be open-minded, and after reading this book you might be willing to accept new truths when placed in their proper perspective. Rather than trying to convince you, I want to challenge you to take a closer look at why you believe what you do and to help you determine what you can expect the results of your belief system to be.
