Feb 27, Muriel Anderson rated it it was amazing. Well written and a testimony to God's faithfulness when we commit all things to him. However, for the same reason a recent Air Force chaplain was criticized for quoting former U.
Military Chaplain William T. Cummings, many Christians are reticent to invoke the name of Jesus in a public hospital even in darkest days.
God in the ICU, by Dave Walker, is the story of one doctor who found the courage to pray publicly and privately over his patients and saw the miraculous efficacy of prayer. In fact, the story starts with a humble retelling of his first years as an anesthesiologist at a hospital in South Africa. God re-introduced Himself to Walker in a very personal way. As he began to grow in his faith, Walker felt supernaturally compelled to pray over his patients.
It started slowly, one at a time, then intercession became a habit. Not only did he pray quietly in the operating room, but he asked his patients personally if he could pray with and for them. He approached grieving and terrified family members, asking again if he could pray with and for them.
The last two thirds of, God in the ICU, tell a wide variety of individual stories. Walker recounts supernatural, instantaneous healings as a result of prayer. He tells of finding and sharing the comfort of Father God in the midst of long drawn out illness. He describes how prayer transformed difficult relationships. Perhaps most importantly and most applicable to the reader, Walker tells how, through prayer, his own spirit was quickened to hear, understand and obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit, even when they seemed contrary to logic.
This book is much more than a good read. Personally, it created a hunger in me to learn to speak to God in such an intimate way. Walker is an excellent writer with unique metaphors and poignant descriptions. It is remarkably entertaining, but simultaneous it reaches the reader on a much deeper level. Finally, God in the ICU is a bulwark against anxiety concerning evangelism and intercession in public places.
Walker proves that God is in our darkest hours, in the moments when we need intensive care. He cannot be banished, and it is only to our good that we acknowledge Him, praise Him and point to Him.
God alone brings healing and God alone is our salvation. Let us take courage and follow Dr. Jun 16, John rated it it was amazing. In the first instance I found nothing but disquiet and dissatisfaction. In the latter I experienced a love and comfort that made the experience an exquisite anguish.
I loved this book, devouring it in basically three reading sessions and sending a copy to my mother for her to read she was a nurse. Some of the reasons I liked the book: 1.
She was without oxygen for ten minutes and she survived the car injury, but was in a sort of waking coma after that. Walker along with her parents and others prayed, and prayed, and prayed, for her, but God saw fit not to heal her. She eventually died. Usually I had seen the hand of God in some way when I prayed. Either there would be healing, or an improvement or a manifestation of His presence.
But I saw none of those. The very real power of prayer. Some of us are apt to be skeptical about the power of prayer, and Dr.
Walker—being the rational doctor that most doctors are—was quite skeptical himself This book is worth reading just to reinforce your trust that God does hear and answer prayers. He starts practicing medicine and feels the nudge of God, but cannot figure out how to move closer to a God who seems so distant and unconcerned about his life his brother and sister-in-law both die unexpectedly. Sep 28, Miriam Jacob rated it it was amazing.
This inspiring book opens our eyes to see God in action and gives our faith wings to soar. We witness first hand what happens when a compassionate doctor and a powerful God join together to serve His hurting people. As Dr. Walker is a striking example of how a praying doctor is used mightily in the hands of a loving God. He is the Great Physician, who cares about us so intensely, that He comes as soon as we call.
This deeply inspiring book is a highly resonant medical life story in which the Almighty God intervenes directly in real life situations to help patients face His Will for their lives. Walker shares his faith with passion to show the everlasting love, eternal goodness and steadfast faithfulness of God. He trusted God wholeheartedly and courageously showed it to a watching world. This book illustrates how God cares deeply for each patient and uses the dedicated and committed physician to minister His love to them.
It is the unique and extraordinary story of a Christian anesthesiologist and of the supernatural miracles of heart, mind and body that his patients experienced, as he prayed with them in the ICU. This is an intriguing story about Dr.
Dave Walker and the unique mission he embarked on when he asked God to heal his patients. Miriam Jacob Mar 02, JD' D'Souza rated it really liked it.
As the Dr says in his own words, "What was my real purpose in life? Was I put on this earth just to save physical lives and make no permanent change to the quality of the whole person?
Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God. Jul 05, Lisa rated it really liked it Shelves: memoir. I stumbled upon this book on Hoopla.
The author is a Soth African anesthesiologist. The book is full of stories of God's amazing work in lives. I think the stories of when he was in UAE were the most interesting. He was bold to pray with everyone. One story of an Egyptian boy who had leukemia and was healed. Painful to hear the sad story of the Egyptian 8-year-old girl that was hit by a year-old Shiek's son in a large SUV.
Very moving book. He shared th I stumbled upon this book on Hoopla. He shared the victorious, miraculous stories and also the hard ones. I really can get over that last part about how his wife suffered with cancer, yet in the midst was so close to God and even was instrumental in planting a church among Sri Lankans in UAE.
I can only hope I could respond like her if I was in pain, disappointment and knowing my time on earth was short. The author read the book and I enjoyed hearing him speak especially because of our friendship with a South African couple. Sep 27, Trish Lynch rated it it was amazing. I loved this book.
