Illness & the Believer (Paperback) - by Hieromonk Gregorios
Today, despite the remarkable progress of medical science, the number of people who are ill is increasing and new diseases and illnesses continue to make their appearance. Almost every family has previously experienced or is currently going through the pain and ordeal of an illness and therefore it is useful to examine the cause of illness and how they may be faced spiritually so that those who so suffer may reap some benefit for their souls. As we shall see, illness, whether it is due to sin or some other cause, is a means by which the soul can be healed and purified. (From the Prologue).
