Customer Reviews

Excellent book

David Stevens did an excellent job describing his experiences in Africa, medicine, and life that were very vivid to me now being home from teaching orphans in Africa. I was looking for a medical school graduation gift for my brother-in-law, and a surgeon friend recommended this book. It's good - will definitely touch your heart and make you want to impact lives the way Dr. Stevens has, following the example of Jesus.

Very pleased

I have given this book as a gift several times now, and everyone who reads it loves it. I had it sent directly to the other person's house for a Christmas gift and it arrived quickly and in perfect condition. They are now going to use this book in a Bible study because it is so inspiring!

A must read!

I came acroos this book and have found it fascinating and extremely helpful. Although not a Physician, I am a paramedic who has daily contact with ill, wounded, and broken people. This book has deepened my compassion for them and helped me focus on what my purpose is in life. I highly recommend it to anyone in the health care field. It's principles are broad enough that those outside of the medical field will also find it refreshing.

Wise and compelling

I began to read this book out of duty: I am a pastor and a massage therapist, I have an interest in the spirituality of healing, and I try to keep up with what's written on the subject. Much of it is dreadful. Twenty pages into this book, and I was hooked. It has wonderfully icky medical stories. It has spiritual insights (from a style of spirituality very different from my own). It has a flavor of humble honesty. It has very funny moments. I was surprised: I love it. I'm buying a stack for presents.

Great spin on the old story

I am a physician in training and purchased this book recently. It was exactly what I needed. With the long hours and constant stress that a resident physician is under, it was refreshing to see that The Great Physician also underwent that stress and knows what I am facing.Dr. Stephens does an excellent job comparing Christ to the modern day physician. While, this book is written for mass appeal, it will be most relevant and understood by the medical community. Jesus, MD should be required reading for all Christian physicians.
