Few areas in life have experienced the rapid pace of change that has been the experience of health care.

Accompanying this situation is a new appreciation for the human spirit and the gift of things spiritual, including the soul of the work place. Addressing this situation is a vital new book "Health Care and Spirituality: Listening, Assessing, Caring" an anthology of the human predicament, the health care professional's story and the health care work place.
