Daryl Curtis Greene (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2000

Would you like to feel better, suffer less, have more energy, know peace of mind, and discern greater meaning and purpose in your life? If so, this book is for you! This book contains research and information about the body-mind-spirit connection- some things your doctor may not have told you. And it contains Biblical theology and practical suggestions about how to put your faith to work in the quest for healing-some things your pastor may not have told you. The book revolves around what Dr. Greene calls his four practical prescriptions for coping with and overcoming chronic pain and progressive disabilities. He calls them the four "M's" to feeling better: Mission, Muscles, Massage, and Meditation. In other words, * Find a personal mission * Adopt an exercise program to stretch and strengthen the muscles * Get regular massage therapy treatments * Learn the art of healing meditation With this in mind, the material contained in this book is divided into four parts: * A biographical introduction to the "Doc", to his life story, and to how he learned to follow these prescriptions for feeling better. * A historical chapter which retraces the history of Christian thought and Western medical tradition. It explains why we often have conflicting beliefs about why we get sick and how we can find healing. It explains the nature of the body-mind-spirit connection from Biblical and modern medical perspectives. And, it lays the foundation for understanding why the author's prescriptions can help people to overcome chronic pain and progressive disabilities. * What the author calls the spiritual prerequisites for putting faith to work. It provides the spiritual guidance to find the necessary courage to rise above health challenges and to follow his practical prescriptions for feeling better. * The rest of the book is devoted to the presentation of the four prescriptions, including medical research which explains why following these prescriptions can help people to cope with and overcome chronic pain and progressive disabilities. Dr. Greene states, "What you will read in this book is biblically grounded, theologically sound, scientifically rational, and very practical".
