Summary: Too much personal story, not enough proof
Comment: I was hoping there would be documented cases within this book but there are not. All Keonig talks about is "many cases", "various cases" and "multiple studies" which makes his assertions somewhat dubious.

I was hoping for some; "In 1994, at Harvard Medical school, 345 patients...." type stuff. I didn't find it.

If you want a light/feel good read this is it.

If you want facts and figures look elsewhere.

Rating: 5
Summary: Refreshingly honest
Comment: Dr. Harold Koenig is a professor of medicine and psychiatry at Duke Unversity Medical School. He writes a candid account of his spiritual journey that motivates his research interests in religion and health. Evangelical Chrisitans will especially appreciate the book and its honesty.

Rating: 5
Summary: An easy read and encouraging presentation!
Comment: It is pleasantly refreshing to find a medical doctor and scientist willing to tell their life story with such vulnerability and humility. Disagreeing with the editorial review mentioned earlier that Koenig, "succumbs too often into self-congratulatory mentions of his many achievements," I rather think that Dr. Koenig presents his story honestly as part of his own struggle to realize his purpose in life. The Healing Connection by Koenig is an excellent book for the lay person interested in the relationship between faith and health. I would strongly reccommend this book!
