This was the first article on Faith, by Larry Barkdull. Faith— A Power as Real and Invisible as Electricity By Larry Barkdull · July 13, 2022 Before he died, Larry Barkdull had written a substantial part of an unfinished manuscript about the extraordinary power of faith, particularly as a power that causes things to happen.
