THE MIRACLE DOCTOR

About the Book

Janine Fisher, a talented primary care physician, is whole-heartedly dedicated to the art of healing. But her life is dramatically changed when she is graced with the power to miraculously heal by touch. Skeptical at first, Janine realizes she in fact has the gift of healing touch. Now she is confronted by the struggle to know when she should use this power and how she can overcome the temptation to use this power for self-promotion. As her story unfolds, Janine is faced with many people who need miraculous healing. But then she is faced with the consequences, some negative, of performing miraculous healings on them. She faces doubt, rejection, abandonment, and the ever-present lure of using her healing power for personal enrichment. It is her attempt to stay honest and genuine in terms of this power that leads her to deploy with other medical personnel to worn-torn Sudan. Here her faithfulness to a genuine mission of natural and supernatural healing is severely tested and she is brought to a life-and-death circumstance that calls for heroic action. The story of Janine Fisher is one of personal struggle, faith and a passionate devotion to healing. It is a dramatic telling of one person’s odyssey to use her special gift of healing lovingly even in the face of significant challenges, hostility and the nagging appeal of self-promotion.
