Overview

"""Triumphs & Tragedies in Serving God"" is unique in multiple ways. First, it is comprised of only true stories with no embellishments. It is written by an OB/GYN Surgeon. The various stories can be at times tear-jerking, exciting, or humorous, but are all memorable. The author shares her experiences in an entertaining and understandable format while still providing thought-provoking scenarios and issues. Many, but not all, stories provide a little known birds-eye view of what actually happens in an operating room. Her goal is to challenge and inspire everyone who reads this book to become acutely aware that ALL can be used by God in His Service even despite severe limitations. Everybody can experience His Blessings in the triumphs and His Grace through the tragedies of Christian Service - if we are only willing. You will feel like you are right beside Dr. Joy in the swift moving easy-to-read true stories. Joy Diane Shields-Miller, MD grew up in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in the little town of Jackson, Ohio. She majored in foreign missions at Circleville Bible College (now Ohio Christian University) for two years before transferring to the Ohio State University (OSU).
