A member of our Spiritual Book Club said it was a compelling book that she was still thinking about, and we decided it was a great one to prompt discussion.
March 14 a little book about believing: The Transformative Healing Power of Faith, Love, and Surrender By Cash Peters This book is about Cash's trip to visit John of God in Brazil, and to look into powers of healing, etc. www.cashpeters.com If you don't know Cash, he's a great guy with many talents, former radio host, etc. Those of you in the UK know him better, I think, than those of us in the U.S. Cash has a number of new books coming out too, the man's prolific!
