Frank McClure writes, “Have independent faith in Christ alone because relying on the human faith of others is not always healthy. There will come a time, as you will read in this book, when the question will be asked, "Can you handle what you ask for?" This has happened to me and possibly to Jesus. Therefore, all things are possible with faith and diligent work (James 2:17).”
