Healing Purpose

Working in healthcare can be immensely satisfying, but it can also be challenging. Your days are often filled with stress, responsibility, and face-to-face encounters with suffering. Maybe you're on the verge of burnout, or perhaps you're wondering if there's a deeper meaning to your daily tasks. In Healing Purpose, physician and professor Mark Topazian helps you find satisfaction in your work by recognizing and embracing the spiritual aspects of your profession. He shows you how seeing God’s presence at the point of care can bring joy, enhance your effectiveness, and renew your sense of purpose as a healthcare professional. Using stories from his experience treating patients and training healthcare workers around the world, Topazian combines biblical perspectives with current research and practical advice for everyday situations. This book explores what the Bible says about health, sickness, suffering, and healing; provides techniques for connecting with the spiritual dimension of patient care; explains how spiritual resources can help counter work-related weariness; and features discussion questions and practical exercises at the end of each chapter.
