GOD IN THE ICU – Dave Walker

ABOUT DR. DAVE WALKER

As a young registrar in training, Dr. Dave Walker was on duty during the world’s first heart transplant operation on Louis Washkansky, by Dr. Christiaan Barnard, the cardiac surgeon who performed the world’s first human-to-human heart transplant operation on 3 December 1967 at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa.

“GOD IN THE ICU” by Dr. Dave Walker is the heartwarming story of a doctor’s eye-opening encounter with a miracle-working God. This inspiring book opens our eyes to see God in action and gives our faith wings to soar. We witness first hand what happens when a compassionate doctor and a powerful God join together to serve His hurting people. This is a gripping book that reveals powerful and discerning insights into God’s love and eternal purpose in a lost and dying world. As Dr. Walker narrates the triumphs and tragedies in the course of his life’s work, he openly shares how he finally came to understand the loving, powerful, and ever-present hand of God in his life, gently guiding him at every turn. He found that he could always trust in God’s loving kindness. 

Dr. Walker’s prolific writing style reveals his transparent heart and details his own spiritual progress in his faith journey. In “God in the ICU,” we see the incredible power of prayer in real life situations, reminding us anew that God alone has the sovereign power to execute His wishes as He sees best. Dr. Walker is a striking example of how a praying doctor is used mightily in the hands of a loving God. 
“God in the ICU” shows us that God is only a whispered prayer away. He is the Great Physician, who cares about us so intensely, that He comes as soon as we call. This deeply inspiring book is a highly resonant medical life story in which the Almighty God intervenes directly in real life situations to help patients face His Will for their lives.

In “God in the ICU,” Dr. Walker shares his faith with passion to show the everlasting love, eternal goodness and steadfast faithfulness of God. He trusted God wholeheartedly and courageously showed it to a watching world. This book illustrates how God cares deeply for each patient and uses the dedicated and committed physician to minister His love to them. It is the unique and extraordinary story of a Christian anesthesiologist and of the supernatural miracles of heart, mind and body that his patients experienced, as he prayed with them in the ICU.

Dr. Walker’s life mission was not just to help patients to heal but to bring God into their lives. This is an intriguing story about Dr. Dave Walker and the unique mission he embarked on when he asked God to heal his patients. I highly recommend “God in the ICU” to every reader who thirsts to see God’s healing grace in every page.

GOD OF THE SONG – Dr. Dave Walker

God of the rhythm, God of the beat

God of the music, God of dancing feet.

God of the galaxies swirling in space,

God of the race, God of the seasons.

God of the melody deep in my heart,

God of the whole and God of the part.

God of the orbiting stars and the sun,

God of the millions and God of the one.

Sing to me, Jesus, sing loud of Your love,

Sing to the pulse of the stars up above.

Sing with the voice of the dove and the lark,

Sing to the beat of my trembling heart. 

My God who created the seasons and songs,

To Whom every lilt, every cadence belongs,

The song of the Saviour beats loudest of all,

It’s the song of His grace, it’s the song of His call. 

I’ll sing to You, Jesus, I’ll sing from my heart,

Of the love that You’ve had for me right from the start.

Delight of my life, faithful God, true and strong,

Creator of music, the God of the Song.
