Doctor John Remembers: The Spiritual Journey and Ministry of a Christian Physician
Ebook
This is the story (told in nearly two hundred short recollections) of a surgeon from a family of surgeons, raised in the Arkansas oil country of the Jim Crow South. A churchgoer from his childhood, he came to a saving knowledge of Christ (along with his wife Cathy) only in the late 1970s. And from that turning point, they proved themselves to be choice servants of the Lord in countless ways--in John's case, as a deacon, a surgeon in the Amazon region, a denominational and parachurch board member, a conference speaker in Eastern Europe, a free-clinic doctor in Southwest Missouri, and a church staff member. Along the way, he took note of a host of engaging events, characters, and conversations, whether among fellow Air Force doctors on parade, with medical colleagues observing a gratifying, ancillary effect of defibrillation, or in the company of an aunt who introduced him to Roy Rogers and Stan Musial. There was even an Elvis sighting. The book is rich in theological, ecclesiological, missiological, familial, sociological, psychological, and medical narratives and observations.
“John Moore takes you on a journey of faith and life through a gentle and kind telling of one life’s story.”
—Neil Franks, president, Missouri Baptist Foundation
“In the best books, living precedes writing. This is true in spades for John Moore. His stories of real-life interactions show faith in practice. Now, through Doctor John Remembers, we can all know the full background, vision, and process for living such a life.”
—Tim Huddleston, vice president for institutional advancement, Williams Baptist College
“The stories are true, spiritual, convicting, humorous, and deeply revealing—full of spiritual ‘pearls’ that we can extrapolate to our everyday lives and relationships with God, Christians, and those who need God.”
—Greg Smart, medical doctor
“In Doctor John Remembers, you will pick up on John Moore’s masterful storytelling and his strong desire to bring Jesus Christ into the everyday walk of life. This book will challenge you to be red hot in your love for God and people.”
—Jeremy Thomas, lead pastor, First Baptist Church Branson, Missouri
“Whether in print or in person he will draw you in, and you too will become a part of the family. I thank God for this gift to everyone who reads this.”
—David Uth, pastor, First Baptist Church Orlando, Florida
