Here are a few more comments from Joni Eareckson Tada that we didn’t have room for in the magazine (see “Loving life” from the Jan. 12 issue and “Choosing to sing” from the Jan. 26 issue, as well as another online-only excerpt “Joni Eareckson Tada on words that hurt, actions that help”
posted last Saturday). In the following excerpt she tells how, after
becoming a quadriplegic, she prayed ardently for God’s physical healing.
She also talks about a hard nightly experience.
Were there Christians who said then, who say now, that if
you only had great faith God would heal you? Do you, or did you, get

Scripture which seemed to guarantee that God would heal. When I was
released from the hospital, I remember going to crusades of Kathryn
Kuhlman, a famous faith healer, a Benny Hinn sort. I hoped that somehow
God’s healing spirit would visit the wheelchair section, that those of
us who were the tough cases would suddenly jump up out of our
wheelchairs—but the spotlight was always on the other side of the
stadium.READ MORE AT WORLDMAG.COM
