must be spoken, made verbal and shared,

About the Book:

The denial of absolute truth is one of the most outstanding and pervasive characteristics of 20th century thinking.1  Healthcare professionals are encouraged to tolerate all worldviews of their clients and not to assume that there is only one right worldview when treating a client.  It is the position of this book that it is a biblical understanding of truth that will guide healthcare professionals in effectively caring for culturally and ethnically diverse clients.  The purpose of this book is to provide both the discipline and practice of health care with transcultural truth that is biblically based.  I realize that this premise may challenge one’s existing paradigm of cultural competence.  Therefore, I respectfully ask that you examine the content of this book with an open mind, taking in what you can use in your personal journey towards becoming culturally competent.  It is my sincere hope that this book will stimulate a greater awareness and attention of the need to incorporate biblical beliefs in the process of becoming culturally competent.

Note: A formal review of this book appears in the Summer 2006 issue of the Journal of Christian Nursing  (JCN) Volume 23, Number 3, p. 46.
