SUMMARY
From an early age, Dr. Dave Walker, author of God in the ICU, believed two things: that God loved him and that he wanted to be a doctor. But even as a successful anesthesiologist, when personal tragedy struck not once but three times, Walker became disillusioned with God. Gone was his trust in a personal, intimate God. However, when he returned to his childhood practice of praying, Walker could not deny the miracles that unfolded. God in the ICU: The Inspirational Biography of a Praying Doctor reveals the open faith of a man who relies on both science and spirituality to help heal his patients and to become a believer again.
KEY POINTS
QUOTES FROM WALKER
“From early on, I really wanted to help people, and I guess I thought that medicine was the best way I could do that.”
“The surgeon gets all the glamour…but actually, it’s the anesthetist that actually keeps the patient alive…[and] who looks after the care of the whole patient.”
"When fighting for your life, you need more than medicine."
“The patients in the ICU--and their relatives as well—needed more than I could give them.”
“We always expect God to be dramatic in His healing, but sometimes miracles happen slowly, and sometimes God wants us to be intensely involved in the working of His miracles.”
“There’s nothing like prayer to change you as you connect with God.”
“If you want to get a tan, sit under the sun; if you want to get a spiritual tan, sit under the Son.”
“The more we pray, the more we see God coming through, and the more we see God coming through, the more we’re able to trust Him and to live a life of trust.”
"Nothing can shield us from the unpredictable experiences of a fallen world. How we respond, however, especially to God, will determine how it affects us."
