I believe in miracles

About the book

Kathryn Kuhlman is an institution. An ordained minister of the Gospel, she does not consider herself as being either a pastor or an evangelist; yet hundreds of people consider her their pastor and few evangelists have the burning passion of this woman, to see lost souls brought out of darkness. More than fourteen years ago she came to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on a hot Fourth of July day, having rented the auditorium of the Carnegie Library, a city-owned building -- the first to have been built by Andrew Carnegie. She has been there ever since. During the past fourteen years, thousands have packed the same auditorium, not seeking merely the healing of the physical body, but also deliverance from sin and the answer to their problems. Kathryn Kuhlman strongly disapproves of anyone having the idea that this is a ministry devoted only, or even primarily, to the healing of sick bodies. This point she emphasizes in every service, for she believes sincerely that the salvation of the soul is the most important of all miracles. In Katherine Kuhlman's own words: "I am not a woman with great faith -- I am a woman with a little faith in the great God!" It was fifteen years ago, in Franklin, Pennsylvania, that members of her congregation suddenly began to claim spontaneous healings during her services. As the number of these healings increased, this Baptist-ordained minister began to preach on healing by the power of God. Thus began today's "Miracle" Services and this unique ministry that has had its influence upon thousands. - Samuel A. Weiss - Foreword.

Just about the time that some New Testament scholars have proven to their own satisfaction that there are no reliable accounts of miracles in Our Lord's ministry, there comes on the scene an ordained Baptist minister, Miss Kathryn Kuhlman, with twenty-one case histories of miracles that have happened within the Christian household today. Even though these miracles have happened under her leadership, she specifically disclaims of His Redeeming Son, and the Power of the Holy Ghost. She honors and cooperates with doctors of medicine, and makes no claim that hers is the only route to healing. She claims only that miracles have happened; that she can prove it, and that the circumstances of these miracles are worth careful analysis so that we might better understand how some people get sick, and what part the Christian religion can play in helping them get well. She promises healing to no one, for God moves according to His will, but these cases include metastasized cancer and neural degeneration. For easy verification, names, places and occasions are precisely given. This does not pretend to be a learned book. Rather, it is a fascinating volume of witness. These are good, human interest stories in their own right, but this book will have greatest appeal to those who rejoice in contemporary evidence of the power of God at work. - Kirkus Review.
