Exposing the Spiritual Roots of Disease Study Guide

Dr. Henry W. Wright (1944–2019) was the senior pastor of Hope of the Generations Church in Thomaston, Georgia, and the president and founder of Be in Health Global. Be in Health is a ministry that teaches on the spiritual roots of disease and blocks to healing, and hosts the world-renowned For My Life Retreat. Wright presented conferences worldwide and across broad denominational lines for over twenty-five years. Recognized for his understanding of disease from a spiritual perspective, he was a frequent guest on many well-known television and radio programs. Wright was exposed to the power of God’s healing at an early age when his mother was miraculously cured of terminal cancer and a fatal tumor that was wrapped around her jugular vein. Paralyzed and dying, she was carried to a church service where she cried out to God for healing so that she could raise her son. She repented of bitterness and made a Hannah-type covenant that she would raise him in the knowledge of God if He would heal her. God healed her instantly and completely, breaking a genetic pattern of cancer that had been present in her family for generations. Wright was committed to the belief that human problems are fundamentally spiritual, with associated physical and psychological manifestations. With his insights into the medical as well as the spiritual aspects of disease, he brought a fresh perspective to the process of ministering to the sick. He applied these principles successfully in bringing God’s healing to people with a broad range of diseases, many of which were considered incurable. Under the leadership of his wife, Pastor Donna Wright, and the elders of Hope of the Generations Church, Be in Health continues to carry on Dr. Wright’s vision and ministry.
