Guideposts Award-Winner Releases New Book

New Kensington, Pennsylvania – Award-winning author and speaker Melanie Hemry releases her latest book, A Healing Touch: The Power of Prayer, in June 2006.

What can you do about the suffering in the world? In her book, Hemry shows how to provide a healing touch to a hurting world through intercessory prayer and genuine care.

Formerly an intensive care nurse, Hemry writes on life-changing experiences that took place during her healthcare career. She provides one of the most comprehensive and educational tools on how to effectively minister, bless, and intercede for those in need. “Those of us willing to minister intensive care must learn to look at the people around us with a fresh perspective. Instead of rejection they may need unconditional acceptance, the truth spoken in love, a job, a meal, or simply a word of encouragement,” Hemry says.

Best-known for her regular contributions to Guideposts magazine, Melanie Hemry’s latest book, A Healing Touch, is yet another inspirational, encouraging, and challenging book on how to be a light in a dying world.


This year Whitaker House celebrates 35 years of producing biblically based products that minister to the needs of people around the world.
