Throughout history, pastors, preachers, healers and holy rollers have claimed to directly channel God in the performance of miracles. \\xa0The sick and afflicted stand in long lines to be touched and cured by these (supposed) conduits of divine healing power. \\xa0
But how effective are these healers? \\xa0What types of miracles are claimed and received? \\xa0What about those who received no actual healing benefit? \\xa0Who profits from healing services and crusades? \\xa0What are the tricks of the charlatans and fakes? \\xa0And are they all fakes?
This podcast expores the side of "faith healing" that you won\'t hear about during Sunday morning prayer.
