Reviews
From an early age, Chance Howard has known he possesses a special gift. He was perfectly content not using it and investing all of his energy in being a husband to the woman of his dreams, Mona Harris. Mona believes in the gift of healing and forgoes medical attention to cure her liver cancer, yet she eventually dies. His mother-in-law blames him for her death and runs Chance out of their hometown, Ruston, Louisiana. After leaving, he wanders around the country for two years, stopping in small southern towns, healing the sick. When he visits Columbia, South Carolina, he heals Reverend Smallwood of a heart attack, restores Lynn Harper's eyesight, and cures seven-year-old Eddie Everett from deafness and the inability to walk. Lynn reaches out to Chance, and they forge a friendship. When a local reporter begins investigating Chance's mysterious appearance, he returns home to avoid the attention. With Lynn's urging, Chance decides to stop running from his blessing and share his gift. A reading treat. Lillian Lewis

Paperback. Condition: Good. After Chance Howard, the man they call Brother Word, lays his healing hands on the sick he seems to the townspeople to disappear. But actually he is running - not only from the curious and the sceptics - but from his own pain. Two years earlier, though her faith that God would heal her through her husband never waned, Chance's beautiful young wife died from a painful illness. Blaming himself because his gift couldn't help her left Chance racked with guilt, remorse and doubt. After the old pastor recovers, Chance breaks his own rule, stays and lays hands on three others. One of them, a child, is the nephew of a newspaper reporter hungry for a career saving story. The other is a young female minister who bears an uncanny resemblance to his dead wife. Each of them, for their own reasons, decide they must discover who Chance really is and whether his gift is truly from God. Seller Inventory # 00063906877
