A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Johnny Doherty s Do You Want to be Well Again? is a book of thoughts and prayers for times of sickness. Sickness of one form or another may indeed be an everyday part of our own lives, sickness is always around us. In times such as these, many people find it difficult to pray. Sickness often stops us in our tracks and often presents questions for us that we may not otherwise have asked. Doherty knows the difficulty people may have with prayer when sickness becomes prevalent in their lives, and acknowledges that they desperately want to pray, but are so tired, worried, fed-up, or fearful that words and especially prayer just will not work for them. Do You Want to be Well Again? has been written to make prayer possible at these times. It is in a simple form a story of healing, demonstrating Jesus care for the sick; a reflection on how we can find this story in our own story of life; a prayer; and a psalm from scriptures. Again, this book is user friendly; language is simple yet profound with a message showing us the presence of Jesus Christ and the love that God has for us, even at times when we may not be able to recognise this. An individual or hospital chaplain could find this book a rich resource, but even in a more personal manner, this book could be very helpful to those who are caring for a loved one at home who is elderly, housebound or seriously ill. --The Furrow, November 2005

Ill health, and the pain associated with it, often prevents many patients from praying as they might once have. This book aims to make prayer come alive again at such a difficult time. Again taking the form of a reading, a reflection and a psalm, it hopes to offer spiritual sustenance in a time of need. --The Irish Catholic, February 2005
