God and the Patient Experience Bible Study
These Bible studies connect the patient experience with the Triune God. The same Father God who sustained the Apostle Paul lives today. Jesus sees each person living with physical ailment or disability as an individual, not an annoyance. He sees their true need.

Why the Bible?
The living God, whose words brought the cosmos into being, is eager to relate to us. He has not left us to guess at his character and intentions like some kind of charades game or to try to interpret what he is saying through the night sky, natural disasters, or the changing of the seasons. He knows that relationships need words—so that’s what he gave us.
