Description
Are you a Bible reader? Have you ever wondered about the Apostle Paul's "thorn in the flesh, messenger of Satan?" If so, then you are going to like this book. For as long as I’ve been reading the Bible as part of my daily discipline, I’ve been perplexed by Paul's comments in 2 Corinthians 12:5-10- a passage commonly referred to as his "thorn in the flesh."
What was it? How did he get it? Who sent it to him and why? What was it doing to him that he would describe as "torment?"
It was in April of 2011 that I set out to find the answers. After two years of research, journaling, editing, reading, contemplation, and prayer, I’ve completed my quest and published my findings for your review.
I have to believe there are other Christians out there who would want to explore the circumstances surrounding Paul's thorn. Think about this: There is only one time in New Testament Scripture when Jesus declined a person of faith their earnest request. Am I the only one who finds that odd? In His days spent here on earth Jesus gave sight to the blind, healed multitudes of people, raised the dead to life, and delivered many from demon possession; why say no to the Apostle Paul?
What I can tell you upfront is that I ventured out to find a few simple answers for my own personal satisfaction, but what I found in the process was something that I’m compelled to share with you.
