The Great Physician: A Plastic Surgeon's Confession (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781512752915)

" The world breaks everyone,


but in the end some are stronger at all the broken places"


Ernest Hemingway

Successor to the finest tradition of Hemingway and Tom Wolfe, come along with a brilliant new American author, one of the most prominent plastic surgeons of his time, as he plumbs life from cruising altitude to crush depth. Dubbed a world-class "medical prodigy" by the media of the day, he explores the darkness and traverses the ugliness and pain of all "the broken places," discovering healing, renewal, and the daylight of restoration. Much more than a high-powered cosmetic surgeon's Trump Tower tell-all, this is one of the most inspiring and spiritually exhilarating memoirs of our generation. A revolutionary Christian manifesto for a broken world, an explosive Pilgrim's Progress for Generation Next, chronicling a modern prodigal son lost in "a far country, wasting his substance in riotous living." An elitist, Ivy-covered, modern-day pilgrim who rises rocket fast, spiraling downward to crash and burn, and, finally, in abysmal desperation, finding timeless redemption, the Promised Land, and, ultimately, the only real hope for humankind: the Eternal Anchor for the Soul. It is the spellbinding journey the world has been waiting to hear for nearly four decades. The ultimate millennial playbook for success, healing, and hope that can change your life forever. No matter what you are going through today, you will turn the last page emboldened and ennobled, knowing in your heart that somehow it has been written just for you, sensing that life need never be the same.
