F. F. Bosworth

===Full time evangelism and healing ministry===
Even when pastoring his church in Dallas, Bosworth would hold meetings in other areas, and his ministry always had an element of praying for the sick and divine healing.  When his wife died in 1919, he arranged for someone to look after his children, then went on, starting larger scale evangelistic meetings.  It appears the turning point for Bosworth's healing ministry were meetings in Lima, Ohio in August 1920.  The pastor there asked Bosworth to preach on Divine healing.  While Bosworth had previously believed in Divine Healing, and had prayed for the sick, he had not previously preached Divine Healing.   Bosworth writes that he went to the Lord and asked "'suppose I preach on Healing and the people come and don't get healed?'  The Lord said 'If people didn't get saved, you wouldn't stop preaching the gospel.'"  Bosworth studied the question, prayed about it and saw that it was God's will to heal as well as save people.<ref name="LifeStory"/>  In the Lima meetings Bosworth stepped out on the Word, preached Divine Healing, and stated that healing of the body was as much a part of the gospel as salvation of the soul.  He invited the sick to come and hear the word of healing for their bodies.  The people responded, they were healed, and it led to more who came for salvation.<ref name="Blomgren"/>

In 1924, Bosworth published the first edition of ''Christ the Healer'', a book that contains many of his sermons on the topic of faith healing and his responses to his critics (this edition included 5 sermons).  Prior to Bosworth's death, the 7th edition had been expanded to include 14 sermons.  He was also the author of dozens of other tracts, printed sermons, and articles, some of which were later condensed and included in subsequent editions of ''Christ the Healer''.  One example is "The Christian Confession" (chapter titled "Confession").  Probably his most controversial pamphlet was "Do All Speak With Tongues? An Open Letter to Ministers and Saints of the Pentecostal Movement".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ag.org/enrichmentjournal/199904/084_lessons.cfm |title=Menzies, W.
