Things Happen For A Reason, (Paperback)

This is a true story of mercy, healing, and deliverance. Ellis Shortridge was born and raised in Grundy, Virginia, in 1917. When Ellis was just a young man, he came to know Jesus, and his whole life was changed.

As he read his Bible, he claimed all the promises. Ellis knew and believed God could do anything. He was called to a ministry of healing and deliverance, and God used him in a great way.

At that time, there was not a Pentecostal Church anywhere in the county where Ellis lived. After holding meetings in people's homes, God blessed Ellis and his two brothers, Hassel and Ed, to build the first church there. God supplied all the land and material to build it. Today it has grown to become a large church and is still doing work for God.
