President Oaks' Beautiful Response to His Daughter Who Wondered Why Her Mother Was Dying Despite Her Faith God Could Heal Her

By Jenny Oaks Baker

When my wonderful mother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer, our family’s fervent prayers for her recovery made me think back on the experience of praying for my own dear mother’s recovery from the same illness fourteen years earlier. When I was twenty-two, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. I learned the devastating news while on a Study Abroad at the BYU Jerusalem Center.

I just needed to have enough faith!

NPR: Mormonism: A scrutinized, yet evolving faith

His candidacy brought the homegrown faith into the spotlight.
