About this Item

Paperback. Faith must be real and relevant. There is too much suffering, too much worry, and too much grief for faith to be an abstraction or an intellectual exercise. As a physician and pastor, this collection is my attempt to keep faith real and relevant where my two worlds intersect - the clinic and the church, the pulpit and the bedside. This is a compilation of sermons preached throughout the past 17 years: most as sermons from various churches and a few presentations from medical conferences. I have cleaned them up a bit for flow and clarity, but not so much to lose the sermon feel. These chapters are meditations, stories, and parables, words delivered with love in hopes of sharing good news. I hope these words are accessible to the doubter as well as to the believer. In the end, this collection is a humble offering of my own journey, that it may give insight into your own. All proceeds from this book support local and global urban ministry projects. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

About the Author

"Brother" Ben (people really call him that) grew up outside of Schenectady NY in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. He got into Yale College off the waiting list and ended up staying for the nearly 30 years or so and going strong. He did a combined MD-MDIV degree at Yale, served as a medical missionary to India and Honduras after graduation, and completed a combined internal medicine-pediatrics residency. He joined the faculty in 2002 where he directs the Internal Medicine-Pediatrics residency program and serves as medical director of the faculty-resident clinic. He continues to serve the local church in a variety of capacities - supervised ministry mentor, pastor, and preacher. Ben is married to Christine and together they raise their two daughters with lots of help from Grandparents.
