Naturally Supernatural: God may be closer than you think

Recommend for all!

Naturally Supernatural is a great book. Gary gives us not just a commentary on scripture, but he challenges his readers to actually do the stuff that Jesus was doing in His life and ministry, and gives lots of scriptural evidence that miracle and healings should still be happening through Jesus' people today. Not to mention he shares lots of actual stories from today that shows you that it's not just him doing these things because he's like the super annointed guy, but stories of guys and girls that are just normal people, "doing the works" of Jesus.

Life changing. Encouraging and challenging.

Wonderful book. Bought this one as a gift.

A must read! Gary Best guides you with true life story's and scripture. You are bound to feel the Holy Spirit move!

great book

This well-written and lively book is inspiring and will offer a fresh hope of the reality of true Christianity.

(I am reading through this book and will update my review as I go along).I am fairly familiar with the Vineyard Movement having been in Vineyard churches for about 3 years. I attended Gary Best's seminar in 2009 where I purchased it from him and he autographed it :) , and Robbie Dawkins' seminar in 2011.I agree with the book's theology. However, I list my concerns below.1) No medical verification of healings provided. Why is there so little medical verification in Christendom of the miraculous healings? In chap 2 he describes a man with two crushed knuckles who was prophesied over, prayed over and instantly healed. Gary should have included some kind of verification before-after pictures, a letter from a doctor's exam etc. It would only have strengthened Gary's book.On the flip side when there is so little verification, then this causes mockery, slander and cynicism. There is so much fabrication of stories, exaggeration that only the 'true believers' believe.Even Jesus believed in medical verification. He said, "Go show yourself to the priest" to the lepers and blind men. The pharisees investigated whether the blind man was really born blind. The Bible lists this verification! Eventually, they could not disprove Jesus' miracles' but had to resort to saying he was doing this through Satan.However, the people who did not have an agenda believed through the miracles that Jesus was the Messiah!My point is, medical verification of miracles is critically important in the Bible and now but today's charismatic movement including the Vineyard, resists it. As a result anyone can make wild claims.2) I realized, with a start, the I cannot recall reading anywhere in the Bible, first person accounts of miraculous healings. The accounts were written by witnesses. Neither Elisha, Jesus, Paul nor any of the apostles describe healings done through them ("I laid hands on the deaf girl and she was healed"). I believe this is because of the biblical standard; everything shall be established through 2 or 3 witnesses. It will be good if the modern day healing movement take note of this.

Very Charismatic and deeply involved in prayer ministry, Very inspiring.It explains a lot of passages(from the Bible) which get misunderstood.

Great Book. Totally faith building.
