Can I Pray for You?: An Unexpected Meeting Between a Chicagoan Oncologist and God - Paperback

by Young Kwang Chae (Author)

Can I pray for you? A simple question, yet it can spark a life-changing moment. Too often, we compartmentalize our faith, work, and relationships, keeping them in separate corners of our lives. But what if we invited God into all of it - our careers, our connections, our everyday interactions? Renowned oncologist Dr. Young Kwang Chae did just that, and the results were nothing short of transformational - not only in his own life but also in the lives of his patients, mentees, and colleagues. Dr. Chae shares deeply moving stories of how God's love and grace transformed moments of uncertainty and despair into testimonies of faith and hope. From offering heartfelt prayers to patients to mentoring students with compassion, he reveals the profound impact of living a missional life - even in the most challenging circumstances.
