Mr. Price has also made the statement that he doesn’t allow sickness in his home, but his wife Betty came down with cancer and went through intensive chemo and radiation because of it. She eventually had to have a hip replacement due to the radiation destroying her hip joint. Mr. Price’s positive confession over his hoe did not work. I’m sure he would say that it was because of his wife’s underdeveloped faith

Dave:

Gerald, first of all, many WOF teachers have stopped being so extreme on such views. Yes, when Betty had cancer, it does change a persons "zeal". A person can be over-zealous of scripture and become extreme. But believe me, they have backed away from the extremism and are balanced and watch carefully what they say. Dr. Price would be more than happy to address this concern you have if you wrote him directly.
