Reseña del editor:

“Read but the words of this book and be healed. Dr. Hurley is that remarkable combination of rigorous scientist and profoundly spiritual physician. You would not mind a long wait in his office to tell him your story. But you will likely find it already in these pages with indispensable counsel on how to understand and manage the sorrows and pains of life. You will keep this book and give copies to others.”
—Eugene Kennedy, author of The Pain of Being Human and My Brother Joseph: The Spirit of a Cardinal and the Story of a Friendship

Coping with illness is never easy, but we can find hope in the midst of our suffering when we look to Jesus, the ultimate physician. In Facing Pain, Finding Hope, Dr. Daniel Hurley explores what he calls "the intimacy of suffering and faith."It is a place where afflicted people encounter the Jesus of the Gospels—a doctor with no rushed appointment schedule, no need of malpractice insurance. Dr. Hurley shows how an intimate reading of the Gospels can open new horizons of healing for people coping with illness. Through this book, he invites sufferers—and those who live with them—into a dialogue with Jesus the healer.

Contraportada:

Finally, there is prayer. Reflect on the sacred stories and on the words of God. Give yourself time to quiet down and listen. Risk hearing what you don’t want to hear. Risk hearing what seems to be nothing for a while. God may want you to just sit within his power and grace. It is like sitting on the beach to rest an aching, tired body. The sand supports you. The sun warms you. The tan just happens. God supports you and warms you. The healing can happen if you are open to God’s way of healing you, and not just to the way you are demanding that healing occur.—from Facing Pain, Finding Hope
