Synopsis

Healing as a Sacred Path is an invitation by the author to explore the role that spirituality plays in promoting heath and healing. He starts with the story of his own struggles with polio and a broken back, which doctors predicted would lead to lifetime of paralysis and crippling pain. Instead, Keck experienced healing, and although he continued to face challenges, he was able to rise above and help motivate others to do the same.

The book also looks at the changing role of spirituality in healing and how our personal heath issues are affected by the cultural and medical paradigm in which we live. He concludes by describing what he perceives as the future of healthcare -- a synergy between faith and medicine that will ultimately empower patients to take charge of their own cure.

About this title

Synopsis

This is a remarkable story of a life of pain and determination. A survivor of polio, a broken back, and chronic, crippling pain, L Robert Keck points the way toward an empowering new paradigm - the challenge of taking control of our lives. Continuing the exploration of the meaning of present-day crises and revolutions, begun in his highly acclaimed book "Sacred Quest", Keck explores the burgeoning awareness of mind, body, and spirit interaction. At the heart of his story, lies the recognition that the discovery of our true 'soul-self' is the most important ingredient in disease prevention and healing.
