The miraculous healer of Brazil lives as a farmer but turns his body over to 'spirit doctors'three days a week so they can treat the thousands of people who come to him when doctors can no longer offer hope. Earning his living as a rancher, he takes no money for his healing work, saying, Joao Teixeira heals no one. God heals.

In John of God: Healing Through Love, two of his helpers, a translator and a photographer who have travelled with him and visited his childhood home, share his life and work with love and understanding. The book includes vivid photographs of the people, the procedures, and the spiritual lights that appear throughout the house as he works.
