The basic meaning of the word SHALOM in the Hebrew Bible is "wholeness." When we talk about the SHALOM ministry of Jesus, we refer to what he did to bring wholeness to people's lives. The chapters in this book present the stories of people who received wholeness through the ministry of Jesus. When considering each episode, we ask key questions, in order to understand what actually happened. These questions uncover the situation, the ministry, the results, the context, and the lessons for today.
