The Jerusalem Method: How Christ Heals the Wounded Heart

By Iris Pearce

This small book is about how the human heart may be healed in a way that Christ Jesus revealed to us.

Fr. Al Bandy who taught this method said that it was last widely used during the great Influenza Pandemic after World War I and was almost lost after that disaster. With five simple steps, the Jerusalem Method not only heals the heart of devastation or loss, it also brings wholeness to the Soul and points the human spirit towards the ultimate good that the Lord intended. Christ Jesus modeled this tool for us as He grieved over Jerusalem’s betrayal and faced His cross.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

When I think about how much I hoped we could help the Christians of Uganda heal their losses with the Jerusalem Method, I find there is a special family that has to be recognized.

This book will get into the hands of our Anglican bishops in Uganda because of a gift from John and Katherine Muncaster. This gift was given to celebrate the life of Harold Muncaster, John’s father. John has two children: Nate and Helen (who has a son named Adam.) Kathy has two daughters: Jane and Susan (who has two daughters named Emma and Lilly).

PREFACE

Dear Reader,
