This landmark collection is the definitive introduction to the Buddha's teachings - in his own words.

The American scholar-monk Bhikkhu Bodhi, whose voluminous translations have won widespread acclaim, here presents selected discourses of the Buddha from the Pali Canon, the earliest record of what the Buddha taught. Divided into ten thematic chapters, In the Buddha's Words reveals the full scope of the Buddha's discourses, from family life and marriage to renunciation and the path of insight. A concise, informative introduction precedes each chapter, guiding the reader toward a deeper understanding of the texts that follow.

This book contains:
  • Clear translations of the Buddha's original teachings
  • Thoughtfully curated selections from the Pali Canon
  • Chapters on the Buddha's life, rebirth, suffering, liberation, and practice
  • A foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama

In the Buddha's Words allows even readers unacquainted with Buddhism to grasp the significance of the Buddha's contributions to our world heritage. Taken as a whole, these texts bear eloquent testimony to the breadth and intelligence of the Buddha's teachings, and point the way to an ancient yet ever-vital path. Practitioners and scholars alike will find this systematic presentation indispensable.

Dive into the world of the Buddha through these easy-to-read English translations of the Pali Canon. The Pali Canon is the literary, intellectual, and spiritual foundation of Theravada Buddhism. This volume, being organized in a progressive manner "from the simple to the difficult, from the elementary to the profound," makes it well-suited for those looking for an accessible introduction to the Theravadin scriptural corpus, as well as being a valuable resource for those familiar with the Pali Canon but wanting a more structured presentation of the materials.

Personal experience welded together with history and logic.
Format: Kindle
I heard Randy Clark's name come up on a YouTube video of Bill Johnson's teaching. When I saw that this book was available on the Christian Author's Network on Facebook, I had to have a copy. I love the way Mr. Clark boldly lays out the different beliefs among people groups concerning healing. The way that he pulls together the questions all of us think concerning why some people are healed and others are not is so enlightening. His honesty and sincerity make the reading so easy to jump into. He does not condemn anyone for their beliefs, and is quick to lay out his own questions and answers as well as his own unanswered questions about healing. And the main attraction of this book to me is that it is all scripturally-based. In my opinion, Mr. Clark welds together the logical scientific train of thought with the undeniable Word of God. This is a great book full of personal experience, history and in-depth study of the scriptures concerning healing and how to receive a personal breakthrough and to be a conduit for the Holy Spirit to flow through for the healing of others. Great, anointed book!

Clear, Readable, Informative, Biblical, and Practical
Format: Kindle
This is one of the best guides to what healing ministry is all about. Clark covers a plethora of biblical, theological, and practical aspects of healing: objections, testimonies, questions, various schools of thought, and the mystery of some being healed and others not. Clark writes well and both those with theological degrees (like myself) and those relatively new to Christianity should be able to get something out of this book. I especially appreciate his irenic tone and his stalwart rejection of the dreadful notion that God wills suffering. I can’t think of a better introduction to healing ministry than this. Equal to, yes, but not better.

This writer lives it, what others only dream about. Let it become real in your life.
Format: Kindle
Good solid teaching. He is a great expert on this kind of thing. It does get academic as he refers and quotes papers he had to do in his research. I got a lot of good teaching and insights from a man who is doing the Jesus stuff.

This is a GOOD book
Format: Paperback
I really enjoy everything from Randy Clark. I love that it’s taught coming from love, not super aggressive or “weird”. The book is great for people getting into healing ministry and those fully involved.

An excellent guide to healing
Format: Kindle
I am a pastor of a local church that is pursuing divine healing as a primary way of seeing the gospel of Jesus advance in the earth today. This book is an excellent guide and a "how to" manual to see increased healing in a congregational setting. I am asking several of my church leaders to read it so we can apply the principles in our local church and mission trip settings. (Btw, I have personally received two significant healings through Randy Clark's ministry as he was practicing the methods described in this book in a conference setting.) For those wanting to see more of the miraculous as part of their gospel ministry, this is an excellent "read, study, and think" book that will help you move from point A to B in your journey to see and experience more.
