When you're serving the Lord, it's easy to think you have extra spiritual protection. You do, but the Lord often does make you live with the consequences of your actions. Life's most important lessons come during those tough times. Mark Smith learned that the hard way. He'd just come home from a life-changing year in the Alaskan mission field. He'd survived near-death experiences in the brutal Arctic cold and had made a difference in the lives of the people of Nome. He was confident about the path he was on. It took just over a minute on a mechanical bull to change his life forever. Used to tack- ling any physical challenge, now he couldn't. It was an effort to walk from place to place. Sitting in any position was intolerable. Praying for relief did no good. Reading again how the apostle Paul dealt with his own thorn in the flesh was little comfort. Mark came face to face with the age-old theological question: Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? Thorn in the Flesh is about living with consequences, abandoning pride, and learning brutal humility. It's about immense spiritual growth, trusting God in the face of a life- long, devastating injury, and putting everything in His hands. Join Mark on his exciting adventure as he, in his unusual style, effects change on several fronts. He adapts to mountain culture and makes an impact on an entire rural community. He establishes a unique campus ministry that continues to flourish today. Along the way, he finds time for a little romance. Could this woman be the one God intended for him?
