Miraculous Healing (Why does God heal some and not others?) by Henry W Frost
Endorsement
I am truly glad that the publishers have decided to reprint this
excellent volume, largely perhaps at my suggestion. Ever since I
first read it, I have felt that it is easily and incomparably the
best book I have ever read on this subject. It is the book,
therefore, which I have always recommended to those who have been
anxious for help on this matter. Many times have I been asked to
write myself on this theme. I have always replied by saying that
Henry W. Frost has already dealt with the matter in what I regard as
a final and conclusive manner. The reappearance of this book at this
present time is most opportune as there is evidently a recrudescence
of interest in this subject.
Some
recent writings seem to suggest that the only problem is as to
whether one believes or not that miraculous gift s ended with the
apostolic age. But this is by no means the only problem. Dr Frost
shows clearly that theological problems are also involved, and which
we only ignore at our spiritual peril. The Bible frequently warns us
against the danger of being deluded by evil powers. All ‘miracles’
and ‘wonders’ are not produced by the Holy Spirit, and we must
know how to ‘test the spirits’ in this matter. Our Lord Himself
has warned us that the ‘lying spirits’ are so clever and so
subtle as to deceive, if it were possible, the very elect (Matt
24:24).
Dr
Frost’s method is particularly helpful. He starts on the practical
level by citing cases and examples which prove the fact of miraculous
healing. He then proceeds to deal with the difficulties, both on the
practical and experimental plane, and also in the realm of correct
and clear thinking. Above all, he is thoroughly biblical, and not
only orthodox, but truly spiritually minded. I strongly recommend
this most valuable study.
