Comments About "Yes, Virginia...!"

Yes, Virginia, There is A God Who Heals Today is both compelling and challenging. Its exhaustive index, condensed outline, and listing of scriptures makes this informative work an excellent resource and study guide. Underneath the seemingly whimsical title and colloquial style are solid reflections on the scriptures demonstrating the call for a wholistic approach to salvation , a call which recognizes the importance of the Church' s healing ministry and equally important call to love and serve the poor.

In my more than twenty-five years of service in the healing ministry, and as Warden of North America for the International Order of Saint Luke the Physician, I have read many books on healing. Pastor Bartow' s books are among the best. His latest, Yes, Virginia, There Is A God Who Heals Today, is so user-friendly in format and practicality that I have no doubt it will help all of us to receive and transmit the healing love of our Lord Jesus Christ. Also, it makes enjoyable reading.

Pastor Don Bartow' s new creation presents to the Body of Christ a thorough, well researched, Biblically sound, well balanced book that shows even die-hard skeptics convincing evidence that healing is for today. The book is absorbing, conversational, engaging, and easily understood. A must-read for anyone interested in helping others find the biblical foundations for Christian healing today.

"I see Jesus smiling as Pastor Bartow brilliantly communicates to Virginia His powerful Gospel of wholeness! Truth tramples tradition in a new and different way in this book. Regardless of one' s spiritual maturity expect dynamic growth from this awesome exchange of e-mails in Yes, Virginia There Is A God Who Heals Today!"

"Your manuscript is a handful of beautiful healing in itself. It is very clear. It is a wonderful study guide. I love your humor, and yet the message is very strong. Your willingness to self disclose adds so much, by sharing your personal growth and humanness.

When I started reading, I wanted to remain objective. I felt like you asked me to read with my medical mind. I wanted to do such a good job for you. I read carefully, made notations on the margins and studied. Within the first fifty pages, I lost all objectivity. God called me all hours of the day and night to read it, and to study and look up scripture in my Living Bible. In my profession, they call it mania.

I am using what I have learned. I have the opportunity to lay hands on nearly every person I see in my practice. I now use the outline you have described. Of course, I do this silently. I am very aware of God working in my life and the lives of those I minister to. My procedures have become secondary and the power of God is primary."

"Whether you are a believer or a skeptic, you need to read Yes, Virginia, There Is A God Who Heals Today. If you are a health care worker on the front lines, I urge you to read this book. If you are a great believer in God's healing power for today, you need to read this book. If you are a Christian who senses the inadequacy of American 'churchianity', you need to read this book. Then,  go thou and do likewise! "

"As I was reading Yes, Virginia, There Is A God Who Heals Today one question kept coming to my mind. Why haven't I heard this message before? This book is so powerful and exactly what I need to hear. Reading the book ministered to me personally. I now know that I know, that I know, others need to hear this simple and true message. I am amazed that I had missed the very essence of what Jesus taught and did though I've read through the Gospels many times and attended church regularly. Yes, Virginia, There Is A God Who Heals Today has changed my life forever. Praise Jesus."

 "I spent years addicted to drugs, and I am now in a drug rehabilitation program. I can't thank Pastor Bartow enough for his wonderful book. I got my hands on the manuscript at a time I really needed it. In the rewhabilitation program in which I now participate, they stress believing in a Higher Power. Through reading Yes, Virginia, There Is A God Who Heals Today the Higher Power, Jesus, became so real to me. I just can't put into words how clearly the light of God's love and hope has shone within me through my reading this book. What a HUGE blessing to me! I found it easy reading, and it teaches so much."

"I have read a lot of books, but this book is the best one I have ever read! I am just an ordinary guy, but I love to read and study the Bible. Pastor Bartow's book has helped me to understand the Bible more completely. Once I got to reading it, I just couldn't put it down. I was drawn into the conversation between him and Virginia. Maybe it was the e-mail approach, but I was sure caught by the flow of words and ideas. Pastor is really a skillful writer."

Ron, Ohio

Pastor Bartow's latest book is a unique blending of old time Christian values in a modern day presentation that will appeal to all ages. Understandable dialogue will touch the heart and refresh the spirit answering age-old questions in a meaningful way.

Yes, Virginia, There Is A God Who Heals Today is a fantastic book. I loved it and learned so much from reading it. The most outstanding thing I learned from "Yes, Virginia & !" is that as a believer, I too can anoint in the Name of Jesus. While actually reading this book, I felt led to anoint my father who has cancer. He and I shared this wonderful experience together, and I am happy to report he is doing very well. Everyone would benefit from reading this great book.

I have worked with Pastor Bartow for over nine years and am very familiar with his material. However, as I read Yes, Virginia& ! My heart and mind stirred again to the powerful message of Jesus as the Healer in the Gospels. I feel the church has really missed that portion of His essence. They are busy doing many things but not this main thing. I believe anyone who honestly reads this book will be revolutionized in their thinking. Also, I believe this book is a complete offering of all of Don Bartow's anointed teaching. If a person reads this book, they will have the equivalent of attending all of his conferences. We need to hear this message and interpretation over and over again. Jesus is alive and well. To God be the glory.
