A moving account

This book is a moving and knowledgeable report from the outside of medicine looking in -- from the patients' point of view. We learn what goes through the minds of people experiencing terrible illness, in themselves or in family members. This is not television, where heroic doctors do their best and everyone lives happily ever after. While there's some demystification of hospital protocals and procedures (comforting for anyone facing a traumatic situation), the heart and soul of the book is about the mystic relationship between faith and healing, between hope and prayer. Ms. Henderson lived these people's stories, and it shows in the carefully detailed, deeply personal accounts. The sentiment is real, never maudlin, and the heroes here are the people who persevere in the face of a terrible enemy with only the simplest of weapons -- a belief that God exists, and will hear their heartfelt prayers.

Wonderful book

Wonderfully written and researched, Here is My Hope takes you into the lives of several families who have been forced to deal with the reality of a loved one with a serious illness. This widely diverse group of people all had one thing in common--they found comfort and hope in the striking Jesus statue in the rotunda of the hospital. Henderson does an outstanding job of taking you inside the lives and minds of the people in her stories. She takes you right along with them on their emotional journies through the hospital. This book will have you laughing and crying through the pages. Once you get started, you cannot put it down.

here is my hope

If you've never seen the statue of the risen Christ this book may not touch you as deeply as it does someone who has stood before its majesty. These few stories are just a small part of the hope, courage, and prayers written in the prayer request book that flank the statue. This book isn't "all's well" and nothing bad happens. It looks at the many sides of Hopkins. The story of the 12 year old gun shot victim is both sad and hopeful. His mother clung to the hope of a miracle for her son. They're not the well dressed, highly educated families. Yet they were treated with dignity and respect. Through pain to hope this book inspires and moves us to recognize the hope found there, at the foot of Christ.
