In Sharing the Burden of Sickness, Jonathan Roberts examines the history of the healing cultures in Accra, Ghana. When people are sick in Accra, they can pursue a variety of therapeutic options. West African traditional healers, spiritual healers from the Islamic and Christian traditions, Western clinical medicine, and an open marketplace of over-the-counter medicine provide ample means to promote healing and preventing sickness. Each of these healing cultures had a historical point of arrival in the city of Accra, and Roberts tells the story of how they intertwined and how patients and healers worked together in their struggle against disease. By focusing on the medical history of one place, Roberts details how urban development, colonization, decolonization, and independence brought new populations to the city, where they shared their ideas about sickness and health. Sharing the Burden of Sickness explores medical history during important periods in Accra's history. Roberts not only introduces readers to a wide range of ideas about health but also charts a course for a thoroughly pluralistic culture of healing in the future, especially with the spread of new epidemics of HIV/AIDS and ebola.

Is divine healing for you? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? You can be healed and happy by possessing the abundant life God desires for you—today! Possessing Your Healing—Taking Authority over Sickness in Your Life challenges the religious constructs that prevent people from walking in their healing. “Sacred cows” are examined that may be hindering the flow of the power of God in your life. You will be challenged, encouraged, enlightened—and most of all, you will be blessed when you use the practical keys to unlock God’s promise of healing for born-again believers. Because of the lack of manifestation of healing in people’s lives and the hopelessness that sickness produces, people have judged God as unfaithful; they do not see God as their Healer, their personal Great Physician—yet that is exactly what He is. Possessing Your Healing is not written especially for ministers or people involved in healing ministry—it simply gives every believer the basic principles of the New Covenant and shows how everyone can enter into the reality of healing. This book teaches you how to be healed!

Those in Zion shall never say '' I am sick.'' Isaiah 33:24 It is God's will that you live a life free from sickness. God wants you well. He desires that you live free from any infirmity or devil of darkness. Your success is dependent upon living a life free from sickness. If you have money and do not have a life free from sickness, then your life is a total failure because at anytime you may go to the journey of no return. What separates Christianity from religion is that we Christians do not get sick, eventhough many do get sick out of ignorance. Religious people do get sick, but Christians do not get sick. When you got born again you became an heir. In that inheritance is Divine Health and Prosperity. It is up to every Christian to appropriate this inheritance. In Eph 1:11 the great Apostle Paul says, we have obtained an inheritance. Christ Jesus did not die intestate, but he left a will in His estate. Faith is an appropriation of that estate. Most of the time, you find yourself trying to get enough faith trying to get God to do something for you, why? Because you do not know that all things you are asking God for, He has already given them to you. You are acting like a disinherited child who has been left out of a father's will. You look around and see you are sick, you look around and see you are broke, everyone around you gets sick because there is an outbreak, you are in a hospital bed lying down there hopeless! What is wrong? Can't God see that you are sick? Why can't God just heal you? You have prayed, you have cried, you have begged, you do not know what to do anymore! Hear this, the most dangerous thing about God is that, if you do not have knowledge about something that concerns any area of your life, God will not condescend to your level and think and operate at your level! He will not think like you! If you are a constantly sick person God will not descend to your level of thinking and think like you and think of healing you in your sickness, no! He will not do that. If you choose to be a disinherited child He will not act like a disinherited parent to you. He is Himself waiting for you to appropriate that which He has done in Jesus Christ which is eternal life. Eternal life has no sickness in it. Its a buffet, you choose whether you want to be sick or not. The very first thing you ought to do is to renew your mind, be cultured in the word Rom12:2 And be not confirmed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect will of God. Renew your mind by culturing yourself in the Word. The word of God is a mirror in your life. When the word says i am free from sickness, i look at it and know i am free from sickness and disease. The Prophet Isaiah when he searched and saw it in the Spirit he saw us in his time, he saw us in Zion, and said, those in Zion shall never say ' I am sick!' Isaiah33:24. How can this great prophet of God who saw the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ many years before He was born, have the audacity to tell us that we shall never say we are sick! Its either he is lying to us or that he is telling us the real truth. When you got born again, you were born into the City of God, Zion. In this City called Zion, sickness has no place in it, unless out of your ignorance you allow it to invade your territory. Like St John wrote to you in his Epistles saying, little children I write this things unto you THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, MEANING TO BE AWARE THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, so write I to you these things, that you may know that you have eternal life free from sickness and disease and know how to defeat sickness when it attacks you

"A valuable collection. . . . The essays in the volume are all fresh, the result of recent work, and the opening chapter by Garro and Mattingly places the current trend in narrative analysis in historical context, explaining its diverse origins (and constructs) in a range of disciplines."—Shirley Lindenbaum, author of Kuru Sorcery "A good place to consult the narrative turn in medical anthropology. Thick with the richness and diversity and stubborn resistance to interpretations of human stories of illness. An anthropological antidote for too narrow a framing of the complex tangle of ways-of-being and ways-of-telling that make medicine a space of indelibly human experiences." —Arthur Kleinman, author of The Illness Narratives
