As I began reading this book, I felt like the author put a lot of time into presenting his point of view and supported it with Scriptural references. I also agree that sometimes diseases result from breakdowns in our relationships with God. However, I also believe that other causes for diseases also occur. If you suffer from diabetes, or know someone who does, I definitely believe this book might be helpful.

The author presents steps to overcome the disease and restore a right relationship with God. One thing I feel a need to caution about regarding this book stems from the constant promotion of the author’s retreats. So check out this book for yourself.

This book is one that I have been interested in reading since I saw the title. I know several people who have diabetes and I wanted more information about it. The author is very informed about the disease and has done a lot of research on the subject. I like how he uses scriptures throughout the book and emphasizes that God can heal you. Having diabetes can be scary and I always hear that there is no cure for it. But we must remember that God is out healer and nothing is impossible for Him.

It was interesting to read the types of spiritual roots that we may be harboring. I never thought about forgiveness in the way that the author illustrates it in relation to illness. There are some things in the book that I’m not quite sure I agree with. I did have to really take my time reading this book because it has many examples of healing and I wanted to do my own research in the Bible for this subject.

When the author talked about his findings dealing with Type 2 Diabetes he got my attention. “Over the years, I have found a very specific spiritual root associated with type 2 diabetes. In almost all cases that I see, the person struggles with a fear of failing others.” That seemed like such a bold statement and I’m not sure I can agree with this. I do know that stress can cause physical pain and illness . The author does give sound advice about keeping your immune system healthy.

Overall the book is filled with ways to overcome illness like diabetes in spiritual ways. Focusing on the body, soul and mind can help your health. I did like some of the information given but at times I didn’t like the case studies and the references he used about being recommended by people to help them in their battle with an illness. Our mind loves to tell us things that go against the Word of God and in that respect I agree with the author. The enemy wants us to be anxious, fearful and hopeless. God is our healer and it is important to keep ourselves grounded in the Word.
