REVIEWS
“The story of Esperanza is riveting….Within these pages there is no shortage of miracles. It is indeed a prescription for hope…. a challenge both to my mindset and to my personal practice.” Dr Richard Swenson, author of Margin and Overload Syndrome “Wow! Not only is it a marvelous testimony to the power of God, it is readable, warm, and personal….Anyone even thinking about getting involved with ministry needs to read the chapter on workaholism!” Judy Shelley, author of Spiritual Care of Patients and Called to Care: A Christian Worldview for Nursing “The story itself is important. It adds to the developing literature and models on holistic ministry. Each chapter grabbed my attention and made it hard to stop reading… a marvelous combination of personal pilgrimage and vivid description of significant events…” Dr. Ron Sider, President, Evangelicals for Social Action, and author of Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger “The most dangerous jungles today are not in Africa but in the inner city. Pioneer medical missionary Dr. Carolyn Klaus’s compelling story of bringing health and spiritual wholeness to the poor of North Philadelphia will inspire, convict and show you what faith in God can do. I couldn’t put it down.” Dr. David Stevens, Executive Director, Christian Medical and Dental Association and author of Jesus, M.D. “Prescription for Hope is an honest and inspiring account of the struggle to provide compassionate health care among the medically underserved and disenfranchised of our inner cities in the name of Jesus Christ. It presents a compelling challenge to Christians to step out in faith to effectively serve those who our society shuns. I strongly recommend it to anyone who pursuing ministry among the poor, whether or not that involves medical care. “ Dr. Art Jones, Founder, Lawndale Christian Health Center “Carolyn Klaus’ book, Prescription for Hope, is a book that you need to read. I have known her for the last twenty years, and her commitment to Christ and to health care is outstanding. This book is something that all of us, especially those who have a concern for health care and the needs of people, should read. I commend this book to you.” Dr. John Perkins, Founder, Christian Community Development Association and author of Let Justice Roll Down “You have a great story here and it bears repeating on the Hill and elsewhere.” United States Congressman Joe Pitts
