The Healing Presence

Curing the Soul Through Union with Christ

By: Leanne Payne

Narrated by: Donna Minter Durham

Leanne Payne explains the basis of her counseling ministry, Christ's in dwelling presence that brings the power of the incarnation into wounded lives.

God loves all his creatures: the author, the lake, the tree, the sun, etc. On that day, as she prayed, his other "creatures" seemed almost to dance before him. Sparkling and seeming to rejoice in their own creation, they poured themselves in through her window in their fullest array of light and warmth and color to bless her too. It was then that the author had the vision, one not easily explainable. The vision was of a painting, yet not a painting, for Christ's living face glowed through it. While it was the divine face, yet it was aglow with and framed by the richest of earth's sunbaked hues.

It was a vision of incarnation, the uncreated shining through the created. Deeply quieted, the author experienced a heightened sense of well-being and of his presence filling and completing all things: surely a small foretaste of the fullness of being all creation will one day experience. In the gentle joy of that moment, she began this audiobook.

A Must Read for A Deeper Walk & Understanding

This book is full of Godly Wisdom. I was led to it by one of my favorite Christian teachers and it has exceeded my expectations. It is filled with biblical wisdom on receiving Christ's presence with us and growing deeper in relationship and also on growing in our new identity. This is not the simplest book to read or gloss over. It is for people truly seeking deeper growth and wisdom in God's presence. It is probably best to listen to the chapters and take some notes to help it all absorb. It has been priceless for me! The reader is also wonderful!

Deep and Thought-provoking

I appreciated the author’s true desire to communicate the healing that the presence of Christ brings to us.
