Review: This book has near its beginning a biography of Mr Lake's life which mainly revolves around his quest for divine healing to be restored to the church as a result of illness and death which plagued his birth family. A number of his siblings died in childhood or youth. A couple of others suffered life threatening conditions as adults but by this time Mr Lake was beginning to discover that divine healing is indeed God's will for the present time (his time being late 19th and early 20th centuries). Two sisters were miraculously healed and a little later his own wife was also healed of a condition which in those days would certainly have otherwise ended in her death. Later his calling as an apostle and stories of miracles, salvation of great numbers of people and his planting of churches in South Africa. There are recorded numerous of his sermons (apparently his second wife [his first wife did die from a different cause some years later] was an excellent shorthand writer) which among other things clearly set out the biblical grounds for it being God's will to heal all who ask of Him, that it's His will to heal them in the present and that it is never not God's will to heal. Finally, it sheds interesting light on the early Pentecostal movement in early 20th century which has now also benefited many Christians in the older more "traditional" Christian groups per the "charismatic movement."
