As someone who believes in the healing power of God working alongside medical professionals I really looked forward to reading this book. Sadly it didn't live up to expectations and I didn't enjoy it at all.

There were many things that seemed wrong to me not least the very idea that someone who is a member of the anglican clergy is somehow more in need of speedy care than anyone else. It seems to go against the very idea of servant-hood that Christians are called to. The author also seems to have very extreme emotional reactions to surgery which is regularly undertaken by many.

Her views of the NHS are very strange on several occasions eg thinking it unusual that she was given a wash in bed the morning after surgery, when in fact I thought it strange she wasn't washed and changed on the evening of the surgery!

To close I can't recommend this book which to me gives a poor account of what God's love in action should really be for all His people. ( )
