And nationally renowned  physician Dale A. Matthews offers a program any patient can follow to incorporate faith into their own healing.\u003cp\u003eDr. Matthews points out that encouraging an integration of religious beliefs and practices in medical settings can have important benefits for the entire medical community, from patients and doctors to national health policy makers. He shows how the national trend toward rediscovering religious values has led many patients to use prayer in conjunction with conventional treatment, and that the results have already confirmed that faith and religious practice can be valuable medicine. Finally, Dr. Matthews helps readers explore the connection between faith and medicine in their own lives through methods of prayer, community worship, and study of Scripture.\u003c\/p\u003eThe Faith Factor - Dale A.
