Catalyst: "Healing Presence" from Temenos Publishing, by the Rev. Joanna Seibert, MD, Foreword by Phyllis Tickle, 164 pages, hardcover, c. 2006, $29.95
[Source: Temenos Publishing] With elegant simplicity, the Rev. Dr. Joanna Seibert presents glimpses of life at the intersection of medicine and religion. In a collection of true stories, she describes events we all recognize -- the death of a child or the anguish of losing one's mental or motor facilities -- and truthfully presents the doubts and difficulties of both herself as a physician/deacon and those she visits and treats. Each true riveting story is preceded by Scripture and followed with a prayer, and moving through the events that Seibert describes, the reader begins to realize that the resources she names are available to all. Interweaving the diagnostic skills of a physician's eye and a pastor's heart, Seibert probes with reverent clarity the mysteries of human suffering and healing presence.
