In a crisis, all you can do is trust. You have to surrender, and surrender is at the heart of prayer.

When Rick Hamlin was rushed to the ER, he was immediately admitted to the ICU. No quick diagnosis was made, and for two weeks the doctors struggled to keep his body alive as Rick struggled to keep his faith alive. Pray for Me is the story of one man’s spiritual odyssey to learn how to pray in a new way as healing slowly came and a medical crisis became a spiritual opportunity — a chance for him to learn he was being called to something new, to be born anew. In the end the doctors were never able to diagnose the cause of his illness, but Rick is convinced that the healing came through prayer.

Genre:

  • No one who reads him will be surprised to learn that Rick Hamlin can hear his heartbeat; throughout his medical misadventure he proves the largest-hearted of men. The surprise is that in these wise, candid, splendidly restorative pages, he makes it just possible for the reader to hear her own heartbeat, too.

  • The husband and wife you meet in these pages are just like the Rick and Carol we've met. Funny, engaging and faith-filled.

  • In extreme anxiety and occasional terror, Rick Hamlin finds solace in the love of his family and friends and especially in his rediscovery of prayer. His book is a great gift to us all.
