From Grim to Green Pastures: Meditations for the Sick and Their Caregivers (Paperback)

~ Richard Lyon Morgan (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In trying to overcome severe complications from an illness followed by surgery, Morgan found much support for his physical ailments but almost none for his spiritual needs. Using a daily scripture reading, a meditation, and a prayer, Morgan arrives at an understanding that while a catastrophic illness can take control of one's life emotionally, physically and spiritually, it can also point to divine presence and healing. This is a wise and excellent devotional for anyone involved in the land of sickness, be it as the afflicted or as the caregiver.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful book for chaplains and caregivers, May 29, 1999

By A Customer

I fail to realize why this book is not used more by chaplains and caregivers who help the sick. It contains prayers from the ages, and helps to describe the way prayer and faith speed the healing process.

5.0 out of 5 stars really good reflections, January 20, 2004

By	"sunevnat" (seattle,wa usa) - See all my reviews

The author searches out scripture verses and he reflects on these verses, tells his experiences and help me to find meaning in those verses. Being sick is a journey of unknown duration and such a process cannot and may not be hurried. I really encourage people to memorize scripture verses on healing and this book help that. I'm buying this book for five different people:from friends in suffering to doctors.
