It may seem silly to suggest you read more. Haven't you already spent a small fortune on new anatomy and physiology textbooks? And each module brings with it a new reading list. But our hope is that by the time you qualify, you wouldn't just be full of nursing and midwifery knowledge, but full of godly wisdom too. That you'd be highly skilled nurses and midwives, yes. But also, confident in who your God is and how he wants to use you for his glory in your workplace. With that in mind, here are some of the books we've found helpful in shaping our thinking around Christian nursing and midwifery. Happy reading!
Lighting the Way - a modest attempt to help Christian nurses and midwives (qualified and student) to begin to address questions at the boundaries of faith, professional practice, study, and daily life.
Fruitfulness on the Frontline - a liberating view of how God can and does work in and through us in our daily lives.
Zeal without burnout - biblical truth to protect us from burnout at work and in ministry.
Walking with God through Pain and Suffering - while offering no easy answers, this wise book giving guidance, encouragement, and inspiration to anyone dealing with suffering in their own or others' lives.
