Critical Condition

By Richard L. Mabry M.D.

Description:

Dr. Frasier couldn't save the gunshot victim on her front lawn. Now she's fighting for her own life. It began as a quiet dinner party honoring Dr. Shannon Frasier's colleague, but became a nightmare when a man was shot on her lawn, reviving emotions from a similar episode a decade ago. Then a midnight call from her sister, Megan, causes Shannon to fear that her sister is on drugs again. Her "almost-fiancé" Dr. Mark Gilbert's support only adds to Shannon's feelings of guilt, since she can't bring herself to fully commit to him. She turns for help to her pastor-father, only to learn that he's just been diagnosed with leukemia. Shannon thought it couldn't get any worse. Then the late-night, threatening phone calls begin, the rough voice asking, "What did he say before he died?" With everything around her in a critical state, simply staying alive will require all the resources and focus Shannon has.

Book Takeaway:

God is in control...if we let Him be.

Why the author wrote this book:

To show how our past experience can affect our reaction to current and future situations, and how God can change us for the better.
