About the book:
Will scientists one day discover a healer gene, asks best selling & New York Times notable author Sandy Johnson? Do miracle-workers, mystics and shamans have special biological makeup that enables them to work modern day magic? More importantly, in this day and age, can we still believe in miracles at all?
Johnson, intent on finding proof the miracles do, in fact, still occur, took to the road on a quest to find healers making viable magic around the world. Along the way, she met a 48-year-old furniture maker who cured her of the flu over the telephone, a middle aged woman with a 2nd grade education who spoke in ancient French tongue and a Brazilian, who, with no anesthesia & an unsterilized knife, has cured patients of cancer, blindness, arthritis and brain tumors. These unique and powerful stories fill the pages of Johnsons newest collective work, THE BRAZILIAN HEALER WITH THE KITCHEN KNIFE (Rodale, July 2003, Hardcover ISBN 1-57954-686-2, $22.95).
THE BRAZILIAN HEALER is comprised of sixteen eye-witness accounts and illuminations of spiritual journeys, healings, and modern day magic, happening at the hands of everyone from a New York City born shaman to a former Australian Olympic athlete.
A breast cancer survivor, Johnson undertook a spiritual quest to heal her own soul and on her way, collected interviews and extraordinary accounts of healings all over the country. Shes the author of The Book of Tibetan Elders, which Kirkus Reviews hailed as an unprecedented and stirring chronicle of some of the worlds most precious wisdom as well as The Book of Elders: The Life Stories and Wisdom of Great American Indians.
This heart-warming panoply of tales is guaranteed to redefine our faith in modern miracles.
PS: The finished book will have gorgeous color photos enclosed!
