From the Pulpit to the Bedside Benjamin Rolin Doolittle

Faith must be real and relevant. There is too much suffering, too much worry, and too much grief for faith to be an abstraction or an intellectual exercise. As a physician and pastor, this collection is my attempt to keep faith real and relevant where my two worlds intersect - the clinic and the church, the pulpit and the bedside. This is a compilation of sermons preached throughout the past 17 years: most as sermons from various churches and a few presentations from medical conferences. I have cleaned them up a bit for flow and clarity, but not so much to lose the sermon feel. These chapters are meditations, stories, and parables, words delivered with love in hopes of sharing good news. I hope these words are accessible to the doubter as well as to the believer. In the end, this collection is a humble offering of my own journey, that it may give insight into your own. All proceeds from this book support local and global urban ministry projects.
