Divine Healing: Does God Perform Miracles Today?
Overview
In Divine Healing, Torrey discusses his belief in and experience with the concept of divine healing: its scriptural basis, the manner in which people should pray for it, the use of medicine, and how we should view its occurrence or non-occurrence. Torrey bases his discussion on three biblical passages involving healing: James 5: 14–15, Matthew 8: 16–17, and 2 Kings 13: 14.
