A More Excellent Way: Be in Health Description
About the Author
Henry W. Wright is the senior pastor of Pleasant Valley Church in Thomaston, Georgia, and the president and founder of Be in Health Global. Be in Health Global is a network of doctors, psychologists, pastors, and other individuals around the world who work with the medical community and spiritual leaders to share information about disease and spirituality. Wright has presented seminars worldwide and across broad denominational lines for a number of years. Recognized for his understanding of disease from a spiritual perspective, he is a frequent guest on many well-known television and radio programs.Wright was exposed to the power of spiritual healing at an early age when his mother was miraculously cured of terminal cancer and a fatal tumor that was wrapped around her jugular vein. Paralyzed and dying, she was carried to a church service where she cried out to God for healing so that she could raise her son. She repented of bitterness and made a Hannah-type covenant that she would raise him in the knowledge of God if He would heal her. God healed her instantly and completely, breaking a genetic pattern of cancer that had been present in her family for generations.Today, Wright is committed to the belief that human problems are fundamentally spiritual, with associated physical and psychological manifestations. With his pre-med background and insights into the medical as well as the spiritual aspects of disease, he brings a fresh perspective to the process of ministering to the sick. He has applied these principles successfully in bringing healing to people with a broad range of diseases, many of which were considered incurable.

As a practicing physician for 17 years; one who has studied and practiced medicine in South Africa and at Duke University with an additional Masters degree in science, I strongly recommend this book for those who want to understand God's perspective on sickness and health and those for whom medicine has nothing to offer other than chronic or harmful medication. From a medical perspective, the spiritual roots identified in A More Excellent Way are entirely consistent with the scientific findings of modern mind-body medicine, called psychoneuroimmunoendocrinology. The associations between stress, anxiety and fear and specific diseases are well established. What is important, and unique about this book, is that it identifies fear, guilt and shame, and their various extensions, as sin - which indeed they are. It is a verifiable scientific fact that their effects specifically parallel specific parts of the body: Fear affects tissues of the skin, nervous system and electrical supply of the heart and cardiovascular system directly (i.e., the ectoderm derivatives); guilt, anger and bitterness affect the musculoskeletal system (mesoderm derivatives); and shame affects the intestines and endocrine system (endoderm derivatives). So the specific medical associations are valid but far more detailed than medicine has been able to prove to date. What this book does is to allow the believer to identify these problems, repent for them as sin, and renew (recalibrate) their mind to God's truth. This important component is where mind-body medicine is still floundering: It identifies the problems but offers limited solutions. So I would like to encourage readers to come on the same side of their Creator and be restored. Christ himself made a clear association between sin and disease in several places in the Gospels.
