Epperly, Bruce G. (2001). God's touch: Faith, wholeness, and the healing miracles of Jesus. Louisville: Westminster John Knox Press.
Epperly is a process theologian and a reiki energy healer who asserts, The universe exists as a cosmic dance in which each being arises in relationship with its neighbour. In this web of interrelationships, there are no hard boundaries between body and mind, person and environment, flesh and spirit, or medicine and spirituality. (16) Epperly takes into account religion, science and medicine to interpret the power of a healing Christ. Through a fresh reading of the Gospel narratives, Bruce Epperly reveals the centrality of whole-person healing within Jesus' mission as teacher and social reformer, and stresses that churches should seek to recover a healing ministry that touches both the spirit and the body.

Dossey, Larry, Benson, Herbert, Polkinghorne, John and Others. Healing through prayer: Health practitioners tell the story. Toronto: Anglican Book Centre. 1999.
The title describes this book very well. Each chapter, by different health practitioners and spiritual care givers addresses healing which implies controlling suffering at every level. It seems to me that, only when we connect with our inner silence and profit from its richness, can we heal. (8-9) These are healing stories that are told from a multi-disciplinary approach.
