Mike Endicott, "Healing at the Well" Available for purchase from all good bookshops and this website. Preface by the Archbishop of Wales: Mike Endicott’s ministry has been an immense blessing to the family of God in south-east Wales and it is a joy to see how it is being extended beyond our neighbourhood in all sorts of ways. Mike has emerged as one of the outstanding teachers in the Church here and any reader of this book will at once see why. He is entirely honest about his feelings and struggles; entirely realistic, and often very funny, in his assessment of our dim, human capacities; entirely focused on the goodness of God, so that we are reminded all the time of the dangers of treating God like a heavenly mail-order catalogue, trying to reduce God to our scale of priorities. What you will read here is both a moving personal story about what disablement can mean for a deeply anointed Christian ministry, and a whole series of profound reflections on the nature of our God and of His healing work. Everything flows from how we learn the patience to stand under the Cross of Jesus, because when we are there we see what he sees, the infinite glory and love of the Father. That is where the healing fountains start. I thank God for Mike and what he has taught me and so many others and I pray that God will bless this marvellous testimony. Rowan Williams |
From the Foreword by Jennifer Rees Larcombe: "You're different," I said to a friend a few years ago. "What's happened to you?" "I met a blind man in Wales," she replied, and then mystified me further by adding, "I've been going every week to see him at The Well." The mental picture of a man with a white stick sitting by a village pump was obviously not what she wanted to convey. I had never seen her eyes looking bright and 'alive' before; she had been crippled by emotional pain ever since we met. "This man, Mike Endicott, he's been praying for me," she explained. "God works through him so powerfully. He's helped me face things in my past which have been destroying all my relationships ever since." I could certainly see she was different. It is always a mystery, why some people stay emotionally disabled by life's traumas while others grow even stronger through them. I wanted to know more about this blind man and his remarkable ministry.... Mike not only believes Jesus can mend broken hearts and broken bodies, he also believes Jesus can use the broken to rescue the broken. His desire to teach and empower ordinary lay people to become the hands of Jesus is one of the most exciting parts of Mike's vision.
