“Based on his Christian convictions and years of treating the marginalized, Dr. Cutillo calls for reorienting the philosophy and practice of medicine. A society consumed by a delusional drive for invulnerability needs to look to the truths of creation and the fall and of the incarnation and resurrection of Jesus: humans are finite and mortal, yet there is hope in the fact that God took on flesh and conquered death. Eloquently argued with references to philosophy, literature, and theology, this volume urges readers to redefine the relationship between faith and medicine. A profound, timely book.”

"Few people could have written this book with the penetrating perspective of Dr. Cutillo. He has a unique viewpoint from medical practice in some of the best Christian health centers in the US and abroad which helps him to understand health care. His medical perspective leads him to an eloquent but gentle lament for medicine’s impersonal 'disembodiment' as it divides patients into organ systems, statistics, and computerized templates. However, his theological training and wide reading of the classics helps us clearly see ways in which the integration of faith into health care can make it more truly 'caring.' Dr. Cutillo’s conclusion draws on the hope he has learned from suffering patients, and the joy he has witnessed as the result of true Christian community. He offers a positive change of direction I find very compelling. Read and be inspired."
