This is another recommendation from a congregation member. And another good recommendation it was.
This book is, at base level, a collection of short stories. All are from or based on the author's career as a physician and from her own life. But what a collection of stories it is.
These stories touch the heart and the soul. They point to what is truly important in life. They are grouped thematically but the overall theme of the whole book is, as the subtitle suggests, healing. Not curing but healing. Some of them are stories of patients who died, but in the story of their illness and death something else is healed. There are books that should be very widely read. This is one of them. It is not a book of theology, but is deeply theological, deeply spiritual, it is about the real things of life.
