He has taught classes at the undergraduate and graduate levels and is the founder and president of the John Paul II Healing Center in Tallahassee, FL.
Our Internal Resistance to Healing
In the first Chapter, he asks the question, “Do you really want to be healed?” He mentions the lame man who sat by the “healing” pool at Bethesda for thirty-eight years waiting to be healed. He never asked anyone to bring him into the waters. One senses a feeling of hopelessness. Dr. Bob shares his own turbulent younger years and an eventual strong desire to be healed.

A Witness of Christ
Pope JPII said that “modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he listens to teachers, it is because they are witnesses.” Americans have so many materialistic goods and yet many are lonely and suffering; now more than ever, we need to witness the healing of others in our lives in order to bring about it in our own.
Healing Prayers
He mentions the power of prayer and how the extraordinary has become ordinary. In the story of Lazarus Mary rebukes Mary and tells her, “Did I not tell you if you believed that you would see the power of God?” Share some insights regarding the Holy Spirit, healing, and understanding that we are all beloved of Jesus.
Ancient Vices, Ancient Remedies
Lack of forgiveness is a stumbling block to healing, and he shares with us the seven deadly sins. Pride is one of them. We overcome them by focusing on the corresponding virtue and trying to grow in virtue.
