Is there something in your life you'd be better off without? A relationship causing you pain? Circumstances pressing you down? Something separating you from your Maker? Maybe you need a scalpel moment.
This is not a book about medical care, but spiritual care. A description and prescription of those times when God steps in — like a skilled surgeon — and cuts something from our life. While it may be painful at the time, and may even cause us to question God's love, a scalpel moment is actually an act of grace.
The painful truth is that many of our lives are overgrown with the unimportant. So seize this opportunity, this scalpel moment, and allow the Great Physician to not just cut out what needs to be removed but, with creative power and grace, fill you with faith and trust.
Drawing on his own experiences over a lifetime of walking with God, as well as those of biblical characters, Dr. Reaves explains how God can use scalpel moments — moments of painful awareness, disturbing clarity, or sorrowful regret — to remove those things in our lives that hold us back from being the best we can be.
The question is, will you allow God to remove what holds you back?
