No Spin Faith is a commentary on the teaching that if a Christian has 'faith' to be healed, then God always heals. It is a rejection of religious Spin Doctors.
By Exposing errors propagated in the Word-Faith movement and revealing the discrepancy between the Scriptures and the spin doctrine taught, author Larry Parker challenges readers to practice No Spin Faith and find their true relationship with God. Through the personal tragedy of watching his son die as a result of false belief, Larry explains the real meaning of faith so clearly that a child can understand. No Spin Faith is a cry for the attention of modern Christians to study the Scriptures for themselves and not believe whatever they are taught.

Tragically, our world offers very convincing counterfets of the real thing. Even more tragic, in our egerness to see God work, we as Christians sometimes flock to anyone who claims a miraculous healing. In doing so, We trivialize genuine divine healing-we accept man's deceitful illusions in place of God's divine intervention. I am deeply moved by Larry's honesty, not to mention the excruciating pain he suffered. The issue could not be more real, for the lives of loved ones are at stake. God can, has, and does heal, but always for His own purposed, in His own way, and at His appointed time. We cannot force God to heal nor can we humanly manufacture a genuine healing experience. The lessons that Larry learned are well-worth heeding.

When it comes to the Word-Faith movement, few authors can write with the force of Larry Parker. Unlike many Word-Faith critics, Larry is not speaking as a third-party observer, but as someone who used to be part of this movement-suffered the incomprehensible loss of his first-born son. While not all readers may agree with how he resolves some of the many theological problems of Word-Faith doctrine, his recognition of its dangers and fundamental scriptural errors are on point and he has earned his right to be heaard. He handles his disagreement with top Word-Faith teachers with grace and humility, but without compromise. This is a must read, particularly for current followers of Word-Faith teaching.

I've known Larry and Lucky Parker for over twenty years. My wife and I consider them good friends. I believe Larry's book to be timely, a needed read at this time. No Spin Faith is a commentary on the teaching that if a Christian has faith to be healed, the God always heals, etc. He speaks from experience. I know that Larry is sincere in telling how bad teaching influenced their decision about their son. I pray that the reader will take seriously the intent of this writing, to bring balance and perspective to the subject of faith.
