Customer Reviews

Good Book
This book was very interesting and informative to me because my husband and I are Chaplaincy volunteers and Hospice volunteers. So, this book
gave me some good information to help recognize how some doctors and/or
medical people can either help a person spiritually or simply ignore the
case and just deal with the physical part of the person.

God's Grace spoken in every word!!
I think all three of the previous reviews for this book have merit. However, I read this book in 1997 when it came out and have been giving it to every nurse, minister, psychologist, psychiatrist, and physician with whom I come into contact professionally. The aspect of the patients/parishioners not knowing the results of medical tests or what will God think of the outcome of his/her health results and how those will bring reexaminging of his own life is revealed in this book. EXCELLENT!! I loved this book as an avid patient, client, friend, and author.

beautifully written and covers very important information.
This is a wonderful book -- written with compassion, insight, and grace. Every physician and other health care professional could benefit from reading this -- and their patients, in turn, will benefit as well.
