Dr Kenneth McCall (1910-2001) was born in China and graduated for Edinburgh University. He returned to China as a missionary-surgeon and was interned by the Japanese, with his wife and child, for four years during the Second World War. His experiences in China led to interest in the powers of 'possession', and he subsequently devoted his life to the curign of psychiatric illness through divine guidance.

Dr Kenneth McAll tells how through his medical and religious experiences he has discovered a remarkable new method of healing. Believing that many supposedly 'incurable' patients are the victims of ancestral control, he seeks to liberate them from domination. By drawing up a family tree he is able to identify the ancestor who is causing his patient harm. He then cuts the bond between the ancestor and the patient by celebrating, with a clergyman, a service of Holy Communion in which he delivers the tormented ancestor to God.

__In this sensational and highly original book Dr Kenneth McAll tells how through his medical and religious experiences he has discovered a remarkable new method of healing.__

He believes that many supposedly 'incurable' patients are the victims of ancestral control. He therefore seeks to liberate them from this control. By drawing up a family tree he can identify the ancestor who is causing his patient harm. He then cuts the bond between the ancestor and the patient by celebrating, with a clergyman, a service of Holy Communion in which he delivers the tormented ancestor to God.

His book could revolutionize the spiritual, medical and psychiatric approach to many forms of mental and physical sickness. It will undoubtedly create great controversy among the medical and clerical professions.

Dr Kenneth McAll (1910-2001) was born in China and graduated in medicine from Edinburgh University. He returned to China as a missionary-surgeon and was interned by the Japanese, with his wife and child, for four years during the Second World War. His experiences in China led to interest in the powers of 'possession', and he subsequently devoted his life to the curing of psychiatric illness through divine guidance. After returning to England, he spent ten years in general practice and twenty-five practising as a consultant psychiatrist. He was an Associate member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, and wrote both articles and books on mental illness and the healing powers of the Eucharist.

The Good Book Stall

Just occasionally one reads a book that completely challenges all our previous assumptions about how the world works; the nature of reality itself. In Healing the Family Tree (first published in 1982 and now re-printed in the SPCK Classics series) Dr Kenneth McAll challenges us to think about healing in inter-generational terms: that the sins of the past continue to affect the health of the present generation. Dr McAll suggests that through the direct intercessory intervention of Jesus and through the celebration of the Eucharist, entire family trees can be healed with miraculous and transformational effects.

After a brief summary of his experiences of healing in war-torn China, Dr McAll begins by exploring "possession syndrome"; the state of bondage that can exist between two people as a result of an un-reconciled life event or damaged relationship. That prayer can bring healing in these situations is not new of course, but it is more challenging to consider the possibility when one party is no longer alive and even more so when one party is a life lost through abortion or miscarriage. The stories that flow through the pages of this book are quite breathtaking and faith enhancing.

Consistently throughout the book Dr McAll repeats the centrality of Jesus Christ and the importance of Eucharistic services of healing. The handing over of power to Jesus is an essential part of delivering release to the captive individual. The book concludes with details of Dr McAll's vision of Jesus, his interpretation of the Lord's Prayer and an outline of the Eucharistic service employed.

Deeply challenging, Healing the Family Tree will encourage you to read scripture and have faith in the gospel in new and remarkable ways. Russ Parker, Director of the Acorn Christian Healing Foundation provides the Foreword.
