God Is a Good God - (Expect a Miracle) by Oral Roberts (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In all his years of proclaiming the gospel from small towns to international platforms, Oral Roberts maintained the basic truth that God is a good God. He called this basic tenet of his faith "the greatest discovery I have ever made in my life."

Facing the depths of despair in his earlier years, Oral began to question how "faith" was doing any good, when he returned to the promise that had changed his life: "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers" (3 John 2:2).

This revelation that God was "so much more good than I ever dreamed him to be" launched one of the most influential ministries of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. After being healed from tuberculosis himself, Oral was propelled into a world of seeing others healed by the same move of God. His firsthand testimony of "watching a good God do great works" is accessible to all in this assembled work of incredible miracle-working power and the unshakable spiritual truths on which they were founded.

"We can know that God is a good God," Oral taught, "by the visible proof that Jesus gave us in his life and ministry on this earth, and by His own words when He promised that He had come that we might have abundant life."

In his classic messages, Oral Roberts unveils how you can know that God is good and that His will for you is better than you have even dreamed. "Let God who is good fill your life with goodness."

About the Author

Oral Roberts (1918-2009) was a prominent healing evangelist. He was miraculously healed by God of tuberculosis when he was seventeen, and he felt called to minister healing to others. Roberts married his devoted wife, Evelyn, in 1938 and established the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1947. He conducted healing meetings around the world and, until 1967, throughout the United States as well, using giant "tent cathedrals." In 1955, the first prime-time live television healing service was broadcast from one of Oral's tent cathedrals, and he later broadcast national television specials. Roberts also established Oral Roberts University, which began classes in 1965 and continues to educate thousands each year with 70 undergraduate and 20 graduate programs. Roberts wrote 133 books, 32 booklets, and several commentaries on the Bible, including Oral Roberts on Healing. Oral Roberts's legacy lives on today through Richard Roberts Ministries, the ministry of his son and daughter-in-law, Richard and Lindsay--fulfilling Oral's goal to reach as many people as possible with the foundational principles of healing, seed-faith living, and the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
