Avila Prayer Group


Books by Andy O'Neill

Andy O'Neill worked in insurance all his life and was President of the Insurance Institute of Ireland centre in Waterford. He travelled all over Ireland and Britain on business before moving to Dublin as Area Manager for his insurance organisation.
He was an active member of the Avila Prayer Group for many years until he was called to the Lord in 1998.
His ministry continues through his remarkable books and many come to the meeting having first read one of these books.

The Power of Charismatic Healing

    The Power of Charismatic Healing deals specifically with healing by the laying on of hands. It is the story of Andy O'Neill's personal experience of healing in this manner.

    The Power of Charismatic Healing will challenge a whole host of non-believers with its rational business-like approach. It was not written by a mystic, a visionary or a priest but by a businessman who lives in, and enjoys, today's world.

    Atheists, agnostics and people of other beliefs may question or reject the basis of the Charismatic Renewal Movement and its healing ministry - the Christian faith - but the happenings described in this book, which range from the simple to the incredible, cannot be denied. All of these events happened before Andy O'Neill's eyes and in the presence of others.

    By any standards this is a great true story.

Charismatic Healing in the Modern World

    Andy O'Neill never intended to write Charismatic Healing in the Modern World. Strangely it just happened when his first book The Power of Charismatic Healing was published and astonishingly readers contacted him disclosing their healing experiences while reading it. These were of the widest possible variety ranging from cures of physical illnesses of all kinds right through to the restoration of domestic happiness and peace of mind, with healing extending into the area of business and unemployment too, shocking even a convicted criminal.

    Charismatic Healing in the Modern World is, then, a collection of healing stories, which truly mirrors all human life. The pièce de résistance of this book, however, is sandwiched between these healing tales when the author vividly describes his encounter with a very strange phenomenon which is startling, puzzling, challenging, provocative but utterly mysterious. This dramatically gripping collection of true stories will amaze people of all faiths and pose many problems to those who have none.

Charismatic Healing in Everyday Life

    Since the publication of The Power of Charismatic Healing and Charismatic Healing in the Modern World the phenomenon of healing surfaces for Andy O'Neill in the most unexpected places - many times with bewildering swiftness. These happenings, cures, healings, call them what you will, are by any standards extremely interesting real life stories even to people with no faith whatsoever.

    Charismatic Healing in Everyday Life is written in the sincere hope that like its two predecessors it will bring healing of all kinds, consolation and peace of mind to those who read it.
