Publisher's Description
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.

“In this important and helpful book, Johnathan Lee clearly describes how inner healing and deliverance should be an essential component of every local church’s discipleship structure, and not just be a specialized ministry to the deeply troubled as in a ‘hospital unit.’ Highly recommended!”
“Without a doubt, Johnathan Lee has authored one of the most important works on inner healing. Not only does he connect the practice to the Scriptures, but he also shows why it should be incorporated into the discipleship programs of every local congregation. This is a powerful book that every Christian leader should read. Even though I teach on this topic and am a practitioner of inner healing, my knowledge base greatly benefited from the book’s careful scholarship and practical focus.”
“This book deserves to be on the active bookshelf of every serious Christian leader. Well-documented and researched, it probes the real vulnerabilities in today’s church when a prevailing worldview does not allow for inner healing and deliverance as a normal component of salvation in Christian discipleship. Johnathan Lee provides a challenging and essential tool of restoration for the twenty-first-century church.”
“This book is a result of more than a decade of teaching and practice in the ministry of inner healing and deliverance. I have personally witnessed the fruits and its impact on discipleship development in our church. It will challenge your thinking, provide ample opportunity for reflections, and provide a dynamic model on how it can be practiced under the ambiance and auspices of local church pastoral leadership, as it should always be.”
