My God Makes House Calls


Book Description

It was 1960, and Nalley T. Osland, young mother of two, felt out of control. She was strangled by an overwhelming fear that was trying to take control of her—both spiritually and physically. Her nerves were frayed, and she was on the edge of collapse. But this all changed one Sunday morning when God came to her home and instructed her to go to church. When she obeyed, she began a journey she never thought possible. With her husband, Stuart, by her side, the family followed the commands presented in the Bible and walked in the way of the Lord. Osland shares an array of the family’s experiences—from making a new life in a different state to living in a home cursed by witchcraft. Written in a warm, engaging tone, this personal memoir shares the life experiences of Osland as she learned to put on her armor and use her spiritual warfare effectively to overcome the works of Satan.




Family Medicine


Book Description

JOHN S. MILLIS In 1966 the Citizens Commission on Graduate Medical Education observed that the explosive growth in biomedical science and the consequent increase in medical skill and technology of the twentieth century had made it possible for physicians to respond to the episodes of illness of patients with an ever-increasing effectiveness, but that the increase in knowledge and technology had forced most physicians to concentrate upon a disease entity, an organ or organ system, or a particular mode of diagnosis or therapy. As a result there had been a growing lack of continuing and comprehensive patient care. The Commission expressed the opinion that "Now, in order to bring medicine's enhanced diagnostic and therapeutic powers fully to the benefit of society, it is necessary to have many physicians who can put medicine together again. "! The Commission proceeded to recommend the education and training of sub stantial numbers of Primary Physicians who would, by assuming primary responsi bility for the patient's welfare in sickness and in health, provide continuing and comprehensive health care to the citizens of the United States. In 1978 it is clear that the recommendation has been accepted by the public, the medical profession, and medical education. There has been a vigorous response in the development of family medicine and in the fields of internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics. One is particularly impressed by the wide acceptance on the part of medical students of the concept of the primary physician. Dr. John S.
