About Janis

In 1991, Janis Hunt Johnson experienced a dramatic physical healing through prayer alone. Soon allergies and other chronic problems fell away. Today, she is a spiritual activist and interfaith advocate who seeks to teach, preach, and heal, following Jesus' example—sharing with people of all faiths the universality and practicality of scientific healing prayer in everyday life.

She has owned an editing business since 1983, was a singer/songwriter in Chicago and Los Angeles, and heads up CS Renewal Ministries in Southern Oregon. She has published articles on practical spirituality since 1997 for such publications as www.spirituality.com, The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Century, The Christian Journal, and Flourish Digital Magazine.
