Synopsis

There are no new questions, just new situations. Loukas trained as a doctor in Rome but is back in Philippi caring for his dying father. When the local doctor, Jehan, offers to continue Loukas’s training, a friendship is formed. Jehan teaches Loukas the subtleties of ancient medicine and the political side of healing slaves when they enter the mines of Asyla. But two men travelling through Philippi challenge Loukas to trust God in both health and sickness.Two thousand years later, the practice of medicine still seems arbitrary. Some live, some die. Even when you do your best. In a moment of despair and grief, Dr. Increase Graves moves his small family to rural New Hampshire to doctor the mill workers of the Industrial Revolution. He finds himself healing more than bodies, though, when the town’s prejudice causes disease of epidemic proportions.Now he must push aside his own grief and pain to treat the citizens of Dunstable Plains. But when he meets Jean Giatros, an herbalist from the Old Country, he discovers there is more to death than just dying. And more to life than just living.A story of learning to live in the midst of death.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

I'm a displaced pilgrim. The Carolina waves roll in rhythmic beauty, but it is the hills that whisper home to my heart. Aren't we all displaced? Looking for the realness of each moment, wondering if we truly belong. Spirit winds through each of our souls, breathing stillness and giving life. Join me in these stories that make the ancient relevant.
