In the fall of 2024, Ben spent a sabbatical at The Faraday Institute for Science & Religion and St Edmund’s College, University of Cambridge. The Faraday Institute is a welcoming community of keen-minded scholars and good-hearted friends. The place is a beehive of activity. They have programs for undergraduate and graduate students, churches, and schools. Their team lectures everywhere from Japan to the United Arab Emirates. They greeted Ben into their midst, hooked him into all fun Cambridge spots, and challenged him with the most provocative ideas.
Several of the Faraday scholars mentioned a deeply influential book, Real Scientists, Real Faith, first published in 1991, which is a collection of essays by Christian Oxbridge scientists who reconcile their faith and their science. They are astronomers, biochemists, and physicists of the highest rank. At a time when the "New Atheists" are so popular, and the "Nones" are on the rise, this thoughtful collection gives a refreshing perspective: it is possible to be both a scientist and a Christian.
This collection is borne from that tradition; and yet, perhaps physicians engage in faith a bit differently than the scientist. A scientist beholds the glory of God in the cosmos, in the chemical reaction, and in the microscope. A physician beholds the glory of God in the patient. God’s presence is often experienced in the weeping, the suffering, the grind of the work, and even, hopefully, the healing. We rejoice when the patient improves; but we also struggle with our burnout and our failures. Sure, we too are scientists. But we are also human. Because medicine is intensely human, we, as Christian physicians, lean into our faith. What else are we to do? As Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God." (John 6:68-69)
Ben, Andre, David, and Mike invited a variety of Christian physicians from different pathways to write a thoughtful, personal essay about how their faith and medical practice intertwined. Perhaps they were influenced by a patient? A tragic moment in their lives? A grace-imbued rescue? A conflict difficult to resolve? They are a diverse group - surgeons, primary care docs, missionaries, academics, researchers, and even a flight surgeon!
And so, the book has a diversity of stories. Some are intensely personal. Stories come from the highest echelon of the academy. The authors tell lots of stories of the patients who inspire us, challenge us, and deepen our faith (please note, any patient name has been changed and details have been altered to preserve confidentiality).Throughout, we share how God has moved in their lives. How else can we contend with the suffering of our patients? Our own challenges with grief and trauma?
The co-editors are so grateful for the authentic struggles, the deep faith, and the abiding love of these contributors-and also for receiving their manuscripts in the requested six weeks, a miracle in itself! We are not perfect - far from it. We struggle with our faith. We doubt. We weep. But each of these stories articulates the mystery of God’s power to work in our lives. Ben and David hope these stories give witness not to us, but to God’s grace. We hope these stories would encourage those on their own journey, those who ponder how being a Christian and a physician are not contrary to each other but synergistically lead to the flourishing of both.

Descripción de la tienda
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
