"There is growing recognition that there are many more factors influencing the health of individuals and of the communities in which we live than medical care. Many of these factors fall more in the realm of values and equity, social practice and attitudes. Jos van den Hoek's book goes well beyond the question of miracles (do they still happen?) into how healing may occur and the broader issues of what the Bible teaches of care for our fellow human beings and the principles of how society is structured. 'Whole person' healthcare brings the medical and Christian worldviews into a new partnership to the benefit of the patient. It does however demand that the Church and Medicine talk with each other so as to get a clearer view of how we can truly work for a healthy world. I commend this book to all who look for such an informed dialogue." Dr. John Geater, MBE, Founding member of PRIME
