Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Through the eyes of a compassionate physician, the lives of eight individuals are translated from medical case studies into spiritual journeys of questioning and self-awareness. He explores the issues of why the knowledge of having a life-threatening illness ennobles some people yet defeats others, and how we can apply to our own lives the lessons learned.
