Glimpses of God’s Grace in the Hospital Room
If you’ve ever spent time in a hospital, you know that it can be a place of struggles and hardships. These hardships aren’t limited to physical problems; often when our bodies are in pain, our spiritual lives can suffer too.
Former trauma surgeon Dr. Kathryn Butler experienced this firsthand as she walked alongside patients, colleagues, and friends through various illnesses and aching loss. In Glimmers of Grace, Butler draws from this experience to guide believers through the deep questions of God’s trustworthiness in the midst of suffering. Blending memoir and devotional reflections, Butler interweaves her own stories of grace with narratives from Scripture to reveal how God’s steadfast love endures even in times of great affliction.
- Written by the author of Between Life and Death, winner of the Gospel Coalition’s 2019 book award in the “First Time Author” category
- Features two appendixes, one with verses to memorize while in the hospital and the other offering thoughtful words to speak to someone going through suffering
- Explores the many ways workers in the medical field can reflect the gospel
- Blends true stories with reflections on key Bible passages
- Encourages readers to go to God in suffering, rest in who he is, and remember what he has done
Kathryn Butler (MD, Columbia University) worked as a trauma surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital before she left clinical practice to homeschool her children. She now writes regularly about faith, medicine, and the power of great stories. She is the author of many books, including the Lamplight Series of decide-as-you-go adventures, The Dream Keeper Saga for middle-grade readers, and The Storyteller’s Bible.
