The Healer

Description

Here is help for getting back to health! When you or someone you love struggles with a health crisis, finding encouragement, hope and strength are essential. This devotional is written specifically to help you in your journey to physical health and wholeness. This is an ideal gift for anyone experiencing an illness of any kind. The thoughts and meditations contained within these pages will lift your soul and take you on a spiritual journey that intersects faith and hope. Each devotional thought is taken from one of the Gospels, written for patients or their caregivers walking into a doctor’s office, at home, or lying in a hospital bed. Through these devotional writings you will encounter everyday life moments that resonate with your own life experience of living, of illness and of healing. All twenty-six healing miracles of Jesus are included. Accept the invitation to read the scriptures that accompany each chapter and you will have read the Gospels of Luke and John in their entirety. The Healer is just what the doctor prescribed. Ted Hamilton MD is a family physician, husband, father, grandfather, teacher, healthcare executive, author, editor, and follower of the Healer from Nazareth, about whom this book is written. A graduate of Loma Linda University School of Medicine, Dr. Hamilton trained in Family Medicine at Florida Hospital (now AdventHealth Orlando) before opening a solo practice in the rural Smoky Mountains of western North Carolina. His varied career has included experience in patient care, medical education, and healthcare administration. The author is a medical doctor who has a passion to see sick people get well. The author is also a Christian and as such recognizes that Jesus Christ, the Son of God is Himself a healer. Therefore, the motivation behind writing this book is to provide people who are sick or who are caring for the sick a source of encouragement, insight, hope, peace, and strength that will lead to their healing. This book is needed in hospitals and doctors’ offices today. While many devotionals are available, this book is written to patients who may read this at home, in a hospital, or doctor’s office setting.
