The Ministry of Healing: Miracles of Cure in All Ages
About this ebook
Drawing on Scripture, church history, and personal testimony, Gordon presents a powerful case for faith as a restorative force. He analyzes the miracles of Christ not as isolated wonders, but as the natural expression of divine compassion and authority. From the healings of the early Church to the revivals and missionary movements of his own century, he traces a living thread of belief — showing that where faith is genuine, the ministry of healing continues.
Yet The Ministry of Healing is not a mere theological treatise; it is a book of comfort and challenge. Gordon writes with a pastor's heart, addressing doubt, pain, and the longing for wholeness. His vision is both supernatural and deeply practical: that faith, prayer, and obedience can still open the channels of divine grace. Written with luminous sincerity, the book remains one of the foundational works of Christian healing literature — a timeless call to trust in the living power of God to restore body and soul.

About the author
Adoniram Judson Gordon (1836–1895) was an American Baptist minister, theologian, and writer whose life combined intellectual rigor with fervent spirituality. Born in New Hampshire and educated at Brown University and Newton Theological Institution, Gordon became one of the leading evangelical voices of his generation. As pastor of Boston's Clarendon Street Baptist Church, he championed missions, social reform, and a return to apostolic faith. Deeply influenced by the holiness and healing movements of his time, Gordon's writings — including The Ministry of Healing and The Holy Spirit in Missions — explored the relationship between faith, divine power, and practical Christianity. A co-founder of Gordon College and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, he left an enduring legacy as a teacher and reformer who sought to unite spiritual depth with human service. His thought continues to inspire those who see in faith not mere belief, but living power.
