Publisher .................. Rest Ministries, Inc.
We believe that God can and does heal
in our current day. We also believe, how-
ever, that God offers strength in our
weakness and, at times, allows us to
grow spiritually, although not always
comfortably, by allowing the "thorns" into
our lives (2 Cor. 12:9), which may come
in the form of an illness.

plete statement.
