If you want to deal with the actual cause of your illness and not just deal with the symptoms this is the book for you. This book gives and excellent summary of how the majority of our illnesses come from fear and how to overcome that fear. If your not willing to change destructive thinking patterns or learn to replace fear with hope this book is not for you. This book helped me to address a number of things in my life and helped me to become happy even when I am sad. It is worth every penny and I have given numerous copies away. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because I don't agree with all his theology and because of this I'm sure there is a missing component in the book but it is a better start than you can find elsewhere.
