Book: At the Foot of the Cross

Author Caris Grimes is a Consultant Surgeon, so she is clearly not someone who underestimates the importance of physical intervention in the healing of illness. But this is a book about praying for the sick.

Written for the hesitant doubter, At the Foot of the Cross invites the reader to embrace the courage to pray for others' healing and wholeness while trusting in a God who works through our prayers, even in times of uncertainty. It offers answers to questions such as: why can God seem silent in our suffering? Can only certain people pray for healing? And what happens if nothing happens?

The book is designed for individuals, small groups, church communities and Christian organisations. It includes candid discussions, theological explorations and real-world insights.

It addresses the fears, doubts and questions that hold many people back from stepping into the ministry of healing prayer.
