In my experience the Bible reflects the powerful healing reality of Christ in creation and our own lives in many pivotal passages including one that inspired the final completion of this book: 'Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God .....On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit in season. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations' (Revelation 22:1-2)."
