Condition: New

A leading oncologist relates powerful true stories about Gods grace and healing in a major modern medical center. The book flows from the unfolding of faith in the life of an agnostic physician, to his increasing perception of Gods movement in the lives of his patients, and ultimately to his understanding medicine as a call to participation in the love of God.Dr. Collins reveals how, in the midst of the seemingly cold, stark, machinelike medical center, Gods love is present. He is healing, in the profoundest sense. In stories that are sometimes happy and sometimes sad, but always filled with depth and beauty, the physician and his patients alike experience love, trust, hope, forgiveness, gratitude, answered prayers, and meaning in suffering.You Visited Me shows that Gods grace is moving in the life-and-death crucible of the modern medical center. This supposedly sterile place is, in fact, alive-enchanted-with Gods presence, mercy, peace, and healing. These vibrant stories awaken us to the wonder all around us and to the good news that God visits us wherever we are.
