Reviews

The book offers intriguing insights into this fascinating movement and adds to our understanding of personal spirituality and recent forms of spiritual healing. - Religious Studies Review Personal Religion and Spiritual Healing is a significant and novel contribution to the study of lived religion in the Panacea Society. The volume does an admirable job of summarizing themes from thousands of previously unexamined (and unavailable) letters. - Nova Religio This is a comprehensive history of the Society from its origins to World War II-and includes a chapter on the healing-and is foundational for work in this field. - Jane Shaw, author of Octavia, Daughter of God: The Story of a Female Messiah and Her Followers
