The Healing Light

2013 Reprint of 1947 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Agnes Mary White Sanford (1897-1982) is considered to be one of the principal founders of the Inner Healing Movement. She was the daughter of a Presbyterian missionary in China and the wife of the Episcopal priest Edgar L. Sanford. Her first book, “The Healing Light,” is often considered a classic in its field. Since its original 1947 publication, “The Healing Light” has sold over half a million copies. In this book Sanford outlines her experiences with the healing power of God. She compares the power of God to the power of electricity — “the whole universe is full of it, but only the amount of it that flows through…will work.” In her down-to-earth, gentle style, Ms. Agnes Sanford explains how the love of God can become manifest in the most diverse manner. She was a key figure in the Charismatic Movement in the United States during the 1960s through to about 1980, mainly through her writing. Her books include an autobiography titled “Sealed Orders.”
