The Balm of Scripture

Ancient Wisdom and Modern Hope for the Healing Journey

Medicine in the Bible: God’s Healing Ways explores how Scripture reveals both the mystery and the practicality of divine healing. From the fig poultice applied to Hezekiah’s wound to Jesus’ compassionate touch, from Luke’s medical insight to Paul’s wisdom about weakness, this study uncovers the many ways God brings restoration to body, mind, and spirit.

Drawing from biblical narratives, ancient remedies, modern experience, and personal stories from decades of pastoral ministry, Geoffrey “Willingheart” Schmitt shows that healing is not only what God does — healing reveals who God is. Through herbs, oils, prayer, presence, community, medicine, miracles, and the quiet mercies of everyday life, God continues to meet His people with tenderness and power.

This study invites readers to discover God’s healing love in surprising places — in Scripture, in fellowship, in creation, in medicine, and in the very heart of Christ Himself, the Great Physician who still walks beside us today.
