| About Author |
Peter Horrobin is the Founder and International Director of Ellel Ministries International, which began in 1986 as a ministry of healing in the north-west of England. The work is now established in over thirty-five different countries. After graduating from Oxford University with a degree in Chemistry, he spent a number of years in College and University lecturing, before leaving the academic environment for the world of business, where he founded a series of successful publishing and bookselling companies. In his twenties he started to restore a vintage sports car (an Alvis Speed 20) but discovered that its chassis was bent. As he looked at the broken vehicle, wondering if it could ever be repaired, he sensed God asking him a question, “You could restore this broken car, but I can restore broken lives. Which is more important?” It was obvious that broken lives were more important than broken cars and so the beginnings of a vision for restoring people was birthed in his heart. A hallmark of Peter’s ministry has been his willingness to step out in faith and see God move to fulfil His promises, often in remarkable ways. His latest book, Strands of Destiny, is full of the stories of what God has done in the past thirty years.

A hallmark of Peter's ministry has been his willingness to step out in faith and see God move to fulfil His promises, often in remarkable ways. His book, Strands of Destiny, tells many of the amazing stories of what God has done in the past thirty years.
Peter has written many books including The Complete Catalogue of British Cars. And for the past thirty-five years he has been the editor of Mission Praise, one of the largest-selling hymn and song books in the UK and originally compiled for the visit of Billy Graham in 1984.
In this season of their lives, Peter, and his wife Fiona are concentrating on writing so that all their knowledge and experience can be made permanently available in book form through Sovereign World Ltd and other publishers around the world. His book Healing Through Deliverance is now a Christian classic.

I first heard the teaching contained in this book twenty years ago. I had suffered a major accident three years previously and was having to live with the dreadful consequences. But as I listened to the teaching, my heart came to life! Because what I heard meant that for a person like me, for whom the doctors had said “there’s nothing more that we can do for you,” there was hope. Real hope of healing! And after I received prayer I was completely healed by Jesus!
You will find as you read this book many stories of real people’s lives, including my own. Stories of people who, when the principles from God’s Word were applied with love, faith and prayer, received healing from Jesus. Let these stories build your faith and as you identify with the people whose lives they describe, let them prepare your own heart to receive Jesus’ healing too.
I believe that Peter’s biblical teaching, understanding and application to bringing healing to victims of accident and trauma is revolutionary. It is good news and needs to be shared with everybody! There are so many broken and hurting people in our world who suffer in silence and believe there is nothing more that can be done for them. Maybe you are one. This book is a beacon in the darkness. Jesus loves each one of us so deeply and He truly does have the answers for every broken heart.
I know you will be blessed as you read this book, and I expect you will be blessed in ways you are not even expecting! Come with an open heart now and let the Holy Spirit speak to you through its pages.

I love Peter Horrobin and this book is a real treasure! It explains clearly what happens to us when we experience shock and or trauma and how to deal with things that have happened to us in the past using a biblical approach. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is Christian and want to grow in their spiritual life. His writing is easy to read and the stories are great examples of what he is trying to convey.

I choose this book because I was heavily injured in 3 motor vehicle accidents. I had had much prayer never felt free from fear of getting hurt when others were the driver instead of me. After reading this book and praying I feel safe and free.

I loved the real world testimonies, and the practical teaching on the way to find freedom. There is such joy in hearing how God continues to heal the broken-hearted and set the captives free. I am encouraged and challenged to be used by God to be part of what He continues to do in this world.

I would recommend this book. Simply yet powerfully written and so needed at this time.
Jesus Christ can bring healing to the hurts in the very deepest parts of us which then can enable our physical illnesses to be healed.
Lorna Miller –
So many people need healing. This book introduces real Biblical truth about the healing process Jesus taught us to follow.
Peter Horrobin demonstrates his willingness and obedience to Gods direction in the healing of others.
This book brings true credence to the power of forgiveness as the underpinning requirement for healing in all circumstances, accident, shock and trauma.

Vintage Peter Horrobin! Decades of ministry experience and tons of Godly wisdom and revelation have been condensed into this book, leading to an outstanding resource filled with hope.
The close inter-relationship between the body, soul and spirit, types of trauma, and the unseen effects of trauma (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) are clearly explained. The effects of past trauma could manifest as physical, emotional or mental illness, and effective treatment requires healing from the trauma. The author explains how this is done, and provides numerous stories from ministry, where night to day transformations have occurred in a person. He explains how unforgiveness is the number one obstacle to healing. The need to forgive is sensitively but comprehensively explained.
Some books you discard after you read, but this is one you will treasure and re-read.

Well researched and helpful. Those 30 years experience from the author show in the book.
