The Healing Light

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.
