The Power of Touch: Divine Impartation Through Touch is now available on Kindle as well as paperback on amazon.com.
Why do people lay hands on others or extend their hands while they pray for them? How long has this practice been in existence and by whom? Why is this a God-given practice? What does the Bible have to say and what examples provide insights? What is the power and efficacy of the laying on of hands and why should we partake? What about frauds, empty promises, or placebo effect outcomes in medical contexts? How do we account for reliquary touch (objects instead of hands)? Who imparts what and to what effect?
These are the questions the kinds of questions that have prompted the writing of this book, a three year labor of love to research and write. The contents take a topic an inch wide and mile deep, yet very much in the forefront of interest in impartation and transference, especially in the context of contemporary charismatic circles. The book explores the biblical, historical, theological, and theoretical foundations of the power and efficacy of the laying on of hands in prayer for imparting healing, gifts, and blessing.
