Millions of believers are like Martha, deeply disappointed by Jesus for not turning up to heal her brother Lazarus (John 11), consigning her faith to the resurrection of the dead one day at the Last Trumpet. Faith-healers will quote every verse in the Bible to demonstrate the ability and willingness of God to heal, reciting healing verses in and out of context to raise the hopes and faith of the sick and suffering, but are at a loss to explain why healing sometimes happens, but often not.

Taken from the 'How then shall we Pray' series, this book provides an essential perspective on this crucial issue. For, unlike Martha, millions lose their faith when prayer goes unanswered.
