There is a certain little girl who sometimes tries to find out when
I am not over busy, so that she may ask me to tell her a story. She
is kind enough to say that she likes my stories, and this so
flatters my vanity that I like nothing better than telling them to
her. One reason why she likes them, I suspect, is that they are not
really my stories at all, the most of them. They are the stories
that the whole world has known and loved all these hundreds and
thousands of years, tales of the gods and the heroes, of the giants
and the goblins. Those are the right stories to tell to children, I
believe, and the right ones for children to hear - the wonderful
things that used to be done, up in the sky, and down under the
ocean, and inside the mountains. If the boys and girls do not find
out now, while they are young, all about the strange, mysterious,
magical life of the days when the whole world was young, it is ten
to one that they will never find out about it at all, for the most
of us do not keep ourselves like children always, though surely we
have all been told plainly enough that that is what we ought to do.

"Frost sees all healing as coming from God. Miraculous indicates
that healing takes place apart from means. He is anxious to "hold
all truth in careful equipoise" and writes "in constant prayer".
"He presents five cases of healing in which he was involved and
parallels them with five cases where the same conditions obtained
but healing did not occur. That drove him to bring his belief to
the test of the Word of God. "He looks carefully at the teaching of
those who claim that the wholeness of salvation includes physical
healing for all as well as spiritual. He examines the texts they
use and points out where they appear to err, weighing up the
arguments for inevitable healing. He sees the Epistle of James as
being written to an emerging Jewish Christian church, "spiritually
undeveloped", and the instructions in chapter five permissive
rather than mandatory. "The post-Resurrection promises apply to the
apostles only. Miracles were to provide indisputable evidence that
Jesus was the Messiah more than an expression of deep compassion,
though they were that as well. "Among his general conclusions he
makes it clear that Christ heals today but exercises His own loving
sovereignty in so doing - "Christ will choose health, strength and
length of days...the saint is ever to remain submissive to God's
will whatever this may mean". The book ends with a moving testimony
of healing within his own family." Taken from a review by
Evangelism magazine.
