Where God and Medicine Meet: A Conversation Between a Doctor and a Spiritual Messenger

Walsch (Conversations with God) teams up with Cooper (From Doctor to Healer) to explore the intersection of God (or religion) with medical science. Key to their theme is a series of questions, asked in Walsch's previous books, with an emphasis on finding an answer to the question "Who am I?" by consciously creating one's own identity. The authors encourage readers to look beyond their narrow views of God, self, and reality, and to find a greater expression of life's purpose. Especially in their treatment of death, the authors project hopefulness and a sense of continuity that will resonate with many readers; viewing death as part of a "never-ending cycle of existence" helps the seeker focus on the importance of now. Exploring important issues such as how to treat loved ones suffering from dementia and how to handle other ailments at the end of life, this is a timely and important work, penned by two insightful and wise practitioners whose words will be encouraging to all readers.
