Starr Daily tells of a doctor who took “forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors” literally. The doctor burned his cabinets of uncollected bills and watched a ruined practice revive. This opening night at the 1955 Nebraska CFO also carries his conviction that no one is ever changed from the outside in.
Love gives reverence and courage. Starr Daily insists we stop praying for what God has already given us and start using it. His talk to the 1955 Nebraska CFO ends in a prison tuberculosis ward, with the old man who cracked his shins with a broomstick cane and who died pointing past the wall, saying, “It’s beautiful.”
The prodigal son becomes a course in prayer. God answers even the selfish “give me,” then lets a misused answer ruin us. Starr Daily recalls the Mexican peasant woman who prayed him back to health at nineteen, and he tells campers at the Nebraska CFO in 1955 that he promptly rendered that healing to Satan.
Three words from Peter, “establish, strengthen, settle,” are the spine of Starr Daily’s book “This Is The Life.” At the 1955 Nebraska CFO he uses them to insist that faith stays dead until it works. His proof is the guidance he handed a fed-up husband: wash and massage your wife’s feet every night. The man did it, and the marriage bloomed.
Glenn Clark asked a young Japanese camper named Toki to kneel in her own quiet unconditional surrender to God. The next morning word broke into the meeting that Japan had surrendered. He weaves that memory into a survey of prayer he believed had shifted the course of a war, for the Nebraska CFO in 1955.
