“As a psychiatrist who has studied spirituality’s role in health for decades, I find the clinical-theological vision of Hidden Medicine a much-needed practical complement to the extensive empirically grounded research, offering hope to those for whom conventional medicine has fallen short. Dr. McCormack’s bold, groundbreaking book challenges the status quo and illuminates a path toward wholeness that few have dared to chart. He shows that healthcare without attention to the spirit is incomplete—and that true healing is possible when spirituality is embraced. A must-read for anyone seeking holistic transformation.” —Harold G. Koenig, MD, MHSc, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Associate Professor of Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine; author, The Healing Power of Faith: How Belief and Prayer Can Help You Triumph Over Disease
“Hidden Medicine is not just a book—it’s a battlefield map. Dr. McCormack courageously pulls back the veil on a war that most of modern medicine refuses to acknowledge. As someone who overcame a terminal brain cancer diagnosis by confronting the unseen forces that traditional medicine ignores, I found the concept of Ruachiatry both revolutionary and deeply resonant. Dr. McCormack’s stories, from spiritual encounters to clinical breakthroughs, reveal the profound truth that healing must go beyond the physical. This is a must-read for anyone seeking true wholeness—body, mind, and spirit. It will challenge your worldview, deepen your faith, and offer hope where the system has failed. I’m grateful this book exists.” —Dr. Pete Sulack, founder, Redeem Health & Chiropractic and Matthew 10 International; author, Be Resilient and The Joseph Blessing
“This is a book we’ve needed for a long time—one born of hard-won insight, both in the clinic and in the crucible of spiritual warfare. Dr. McCormack and I underwent a challenging season of spiritual opposition, and I witnessed firsthand his perseverance through the attacks. It was in the wake of that experience that he and I first discussed coauthoring a book on this very subject. After several brainstorming meetings, I told him what had become clear: This was his book to write. Drawing on his extensive medical experience and profound spiritual understanding, Dr. McCormack writes with wisdom and authority—the right voice at just the right time in which there is so much uncertainty in the world. I urge you to read Hidden Medicine now and to read it to the very end. It is a rare book that carries the potential to bring deep healing, lasting peace, and clarity for those who find themselves in the unseen battles of life.” —David Mills, PhD, Senior Pastor, Beallwood Baptist Church; former Professor of Evangelism, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
“Dr. Thomas McCormack dares to raise issues I’ve never heard a fellow psychiatrist discuss in my nearly forty years in the field, much less a triple-boarded, Duke-trained child and adolescent, adult, and forensic psychiatrist. In Hidden Medicine, Dr. McCormack presents a compelling argument that the biopsychosocial model that shapes our understanding of medical and mental illness often fails us because it fails to account for spiritual forces that influence health and well-being. One may agree or disagree with his arguments, but Dr. McCormack’s writing will cause patients and clinicians alike to consider other explanations for illness, disease, and suffering.” —Stephen Grcevich, MD, founder and president, Key Ministry; author, Mental Health and the Church: A Ministry Handbook for Including Children and Adults with ADHD, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, and Other Common Mental Health Conditions
“As a traditionally trained medical doctor who has transitioned into functional medicine, I look at all aspects of my patients in a very holistic manner. An individual is more than just a body, and their mind, emotions, and spiritual state play an essential role in their overall health and happiness. Dr. McCormack’s book is an excellent text that focuses on an area of every person’s life that unfortunately most medical professionals overlook today. I strongly suggest that any medical practitioner who really cares about the needs of their patients, as well as anyone who is concerned about their overall well-being, read this book and put into practice the important principles that Dr. McCormack lays out. It is a greatly needed and valuable resource.” —Paul C. Broun, MD, physician and former US Congressman from Georgia
“I’ve known Dr. McCormack for more than fifty years. He is a rare person possessing both broad scientific knowledge and an unshakeable faith—and Hidden Medicine brilliantly bridges both worlds. I promise that you have never read anything like this. This unique book has the potential to transform how physicians care for patients in mind, body, and spirit. Its powerful prescription for patients still struggling with physical and mental illnesses despite standard medical treatments is nothing short of revolutionary.” —Russell Biven, WVLT Channel 8 broadcaster; former television news anchor, WBIR Channel 10; former sports anchor, CNN
“As a pastor who has spent countless hours counseling people, I could not be more grateful for this work by Dr. McCormack. Hidden Medicine is a refreshing approach to helping people that accounts for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. It also directly addresses the often overlooked yet essential aspect of the spiritual realm in the diagnostic and healing process. I have read numerous books on counseling, but I have never read anything that has more potential for true transformation than this. Hidden Medicine will not only be an indispensable resource for professional and pastoral counselors, but it will also be a great help to anyone to reads it. I recommend it unreservedly and with great enthusiasm.” —J. Josh Smith, DMin, Senior Pastor, Prince Avenue Baptist Church; author, The Titus Ten: Foundations for Godly Manhood
“Dr. McCormack is a man of deep Christian faith whose authenticity shines forth in this helpful volume in which he makes the case that faith and spirituality are the very basis of health and life itself. This book is pastoral and compassionate yet scholarly and reasonable. Above all, it is based on eternal truth that will refresh some readers and uncover new pathways to healthy thinking and living for others. To all it will affirm our position as people of worth who are offered wholeness in life when we align our will with that of the Great Physician. As a pastor of almost sixty years, I highly recommend this long-awaited book for the troubled, the caregivers, and the seekers of truth and lasting wholeness. Dr. McCormack helps us understand things that may cause many of our struggles in life but without being sensationalistic or overly simplistic. You will gain insight into a new path to health in addition to those that involve pills, syringes, or surgeries. A must-read!” —Stewart D. Simms, Jr., MDiv, DMin, Pastor Emeritus, Beech Haven Baptist Church; author, Words Not Spoken: Understanding the Pastor’s Silent Hurts
“As a Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor, I meet with individuals and families who love God and love each other yet are suffering. They are suffering through difficult relationships, painful memories, and childhood trauma, among other things. In all of these conversations, I address the truth that they are created in the image of God with spirit, soul, and body. Very often, the client has never considered nor understood this truth and how it impacts their healing and wholeness. In Hidden Medicine, Dr. McCormack provides both client and counselor explanation, insight, and guidance on how to incorporate these spiritual truths into their healing journey. I have known Dr. McCormack for nearly twenty years through professional and personal avenues. His reputation in our community is one of personal integrity, sound wisdom, strong faith, and professional expertise. His book meets an important need in the counseling community.” —Windy Echols, MA, NCCA Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor, Encompass Christian Counseling
