An outstanding introduction to how medicine must change. The book focuses on three aspects of spirituality in health care: 1. Why sprituality is intrinsic to healing, and not something that needs to be "added back" 2. A look at research in spirituality and health care, or "How to measure the immeasurable" and 3. How issues surrounding death and dying bring spirituality and health care into sharp focus.

A wonderful and moving book! ( )
