How to Be a God-Pleasing Patient: A Biblical Approach to Receiving Medical Care

In today’s society, healing and doctors’ visits are centered around a “self” and “me” attitude. As Christians, in spite of an illness or condition, we should approach medical care with a Christian attitude. Dr. Jim Halla shows readers how to be a God-pleasing patient and how to have a mindset that centers on God.

A native of Houston, TX, now residing in Spartanburg, SC, Dr. Jim Halla practices rheumatology and serves as a ruling elder at Redeemer ARP in Moore, SC.
