Designed to Heal


Book Description

“A rare combination of vivid science, compassionate storytelling, and lasting spiritual lessons. A delight to read.” –Philip Yancey Our bodies are designed to heal. We fall off our bikes and skin our knees—and without effort on our part, the skin looks like new in a few days. But while our skinned knees easily heal, it can sometimes feel like our emotional and relational wounds are left gaping open, broken beyond repair. If our bodies instinctively know how to heal physical injuries, could they also help us understand how to restore painful emotional and relational ruptures? In their groundbreaking debut book, physician Jennie McLaurin and scientist Cymbeline T. Culiat write Designed to Heal: a fascinating look at how the restorative processes of the body can model patterns we may adapt to heal the acute and chronic wounds of our social bodies. Through engaging patient stories, imaginative travels through the body’s microcellular landscapes, accessible references to current research, and reflections on the image of God, Designed to Heal offers a new perspective for healing our social divisions. By learning how the body is created with mechanisms that optimize a flourishing recovery from life’s inevitable wounds, we are given a model for hopeful, faithful, and enduring healing in all other aspects of our lives. Our wounds don’t have to have the last word.

St. James Church; Goose Creek, S. C


Book Description

Excerpt from St. James Church; Goose Creek, S. C: A Sketch of the Parish From 1706 to 1909 By request of the Vestry of St. James Church, Goose Greek; the writer has prepared this little volume and presents it to the Public with no claim to literary merit or ability, but only as a modest contribution to the history of the early days of our Church and State; and a memorial of the old Parish of which it treats. As will be noted, most of the material has been gathered from "Dalcho's History of the Church in South Carolina," and other authorities. The anecdotes are merely from tradition, and only as such are they here presented. The story of those old days has always appealed to the writer "With love, far brought From out the storied past; and used Within the present." So this has been a labor of love, and as such it is offered, with the hope that it will give as much pleasure to its readers, as the preparation has afforded its author.
