Jesus taught people that they had been given precious talents. His own life showed that every moment can influence eternity, that every moment is a treasure to be spent making someone's life better and heaven more real. To Jesus, no human was worthless. He gave hope to the roughest, most unpromising people, assuring them that they could become gentle, obedient children of God. When He met those who had fallen completely under Satan's control with no hope of escape, He offered help with gentle Kindness. Jesus didn't just heal people's minds and spirits. He often healed their bodies as well. His kind words and gentle attention had a soothing, healing effect. The healing power of love went out from Him to the sick and injured. In this quiet way, He reached out and helped people from the time He was a child.

"The prayer of faith shall save the sick" (James 5:15) That promise is the subject of this book. After offering a collection of pertinent biblical passages, Ellen G. White sets forth conditions for answered prayer and explains why God does not always say Yes to every request for healing. She also discusses the preparation necessary on the part of those who pray, the importance of submitting to God's will, and the relationship between miraculous healing and physical remedies. The book includes an illuminating case history in which God revealed why He declined to answer a prayer for healing.
