God in the ICU<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr Dave Walker was a successful anaesthesiologist with a\nspecial interest in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Disillusioned with God after\na series of tragedies, he was living for himself and his work. But something\nwas wrong. Although he was seeing people healed physically, their lives were\nnot changed and it all seemed pointless. This set him on a quest to find a God\nwho did not look on impersonally from a distance, as he thought, but was\nintimately involved in our lives. After a dramatic encounter, he started\npraying with his patients. Suddenly things happened beyond anything he could\nhave imagined. Patients were healed miraculously, others experienced Jesus\nbringing comfort and peace and still others felt the power of God’s love in the\nface of tragedy.
\nAnd in the meantime Dave was facing his own personal trials that tested his\nfaith to the limit.
\nSet firstly in a South Africa transitioning into democracy from apartheid and\nthen in the Muslim world of the Middle East, God in the ICU will take you into\nthe drama of critical care medicine, the inner life of a praying, caring\nphysician and, above all, the response of a faithful, loving God to the prayers\nof His people. Told with transparency, compassion and an honest look at the\nlessons we can learn from His dealings with us, you will be encouraged to trust\na God who is as close as a prayer away.<\/p>\n\n\n

Many of the chapters of God in the ICU<\/strong> contain spiritual lessons on topics such as a sense of destiny, the nature of prayer, God’s response to suffering etc. which have been an encouragement to readers around the world. For this reason, this edition contains a a devotional<\/strong> whereby a theme from each chapter is used as a basis for individual meditation or for a group Bible Study.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to narrate this myself because it is an intensely personal story and I wanted the listener to hear it \u2018from the horse\u2019s mouth\u2019 so to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer, Medicine & Miracles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In my second book, I take a closer look at what it means to be a Christian witness, seeing God work both in the hospital and outside its walls, as I visit a shelter for the homeless and prayer walk through a maximum-security prison. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dave Walker was an ambitious anesthesiologist, determined to\nbe the best in his field. Yet it was only when he had an encounter with the\nliving Christ and started praying with his patients, that he witnessed healing\nfar beyond what medicine alone could provide.
\nAs you read, you will walk with him through his first encounter with a dead\nman, witness the drama of rescuing a young man stabbed in the heart, share his\nalarm and fervent prayer as the hands and feet of a young woman turn blue, then\nblack while she battles septicemia. You will hear the praise of an exuberant\ncrowd prayer walking through a prison, and feel the contemptuous scowl of a man\nin “solitary”. You will sit with him with men from a homeless shelter\nand hear their stories of how Jesus saves. You will share in the power of\nprayer to rescue a man in ICU from multiple organ failure and marvel at the\nwork of God through a young woman condemned to die.
\nIn this gripping account of the intervention of a loving God who brings healing\nin the lives of those we pray for, you will find yourself encouraged, edified\nand challenged. Above all, you will see the hand of God moving through the\npower of prayer. This is a story to inspire believers and encourage doubters.<\/p>\n\n\n

Crisis in the Children’s Ward<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My novel weaves medical mystery, South African rural pagan religious practices and a solid Christian message into an intriguing story that will keep you guessing till the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When Jason Langley enrolled as a Medical Officer in a rural\nhospital in the Natal Midlands of South Africa, he was immediately confronted\nwith the sudden deaths of children who were on the road to recovery. Carrying\nhis own pain and dealing with a superstitious population influenced by the local\nwitchdoctor, his investigation into the childrens’ deaths puts his own life in\ndanger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who exactly is the orderly who seems to know so much more\nthan he should? And is the witchdoctor casting spells on the children as the\nvillagers suspect? As a Christian community gathers for outreach to the\nvillage, they are confronted by the demonic forces controlling the lives of a people\nsteeped in superstition and ancestor worship. And Jason and the missionary’s daughter\nare caught in a trap from which there is no escape.<\/p>\n\n\n

Listen to the Music and Other Stories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In Listen to the Music and Other Stories, I have attempted to convey, mainly through fiction, truths about God and His ways to encourage, inspire, challenge or comfort the reader. Some of the stories, like The Song are pure figments of my imagination, (though you’ll recognise the emotions experienced in the loss of a loved one). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fictionalised truth<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Others are based on a true story which I have fictionalised to add more depth. For example, we are told little of the background of Simon of Cyrene — only that he was made to carry the cross of Jesus part of the way. In An Unexpected Privilege, I have imagined how he came to be there and what it must have been like for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiring true stories<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Yet others are true stories which carry their own drama without the medium of fiction. A Perfect Place for Jesus, needs no embellishment. The work of the Holy Spirit in a shelter for the homeless is dramatic enough in its own right.<\/p>\n\n\n
