From Library Journal
From a Georgetown medical professor.
Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Booklist
Matthews' father was a physician, and his grandfather a minister, and this collaboration with a coauthor whose specialty is contemplative Christianity seems a natural development for him. As he acquired clinical experience, he began to realize that some patients wanted to talk to him about their faith as well as their physical problems. After several striking improvements when he brought his and a patient's strong beliefs in God together, he began to ask often whether patients wanted him to pray with them. The expansion of the doctor-patient relationship to a God-doctor-patient relationship produced many improvements in health and understanding. The decisive factor is not God but faith in God, which has worked for many of Matthews' patients, especially those with problems of addiction. Yet Matthews does not believe faith is a panacea, only that it can be a source of relief and a support. His effort complements that of such colleagues as Herbert Benson (Timeless Healing, 1996) and Larry Dossey (Meaning & Medicine, 1991).
