Books with author David M. Walker

Dr Dave Walker was a successful anaesthesiologist with a special interest in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Disillusioned with God after a series of tragedies, he was living for himself and his work. But something was wrong. Although he was seeing people healed physically, their lives were not changed and it all seemed pointless. This set him on a quest to find a God who did not look on impersonally from a distance, as he thought, but was intimately involved in our lives. After a dramatic encounter, he started praying with his patients. Suddenly things happened beyond anything he could have imagined. Patients were healed miraculously, others experienced Jesus bringing comfort and peace and still others felt the power of God's love in the face of tragedy. And in the meantime Dave was facing his own personal trials that tested his faith to the limit.Set firstly in a South Africa transitioning into democracy from apartheid and then in the Muslim world of the Middle East, God in the ICU will take you into the drama of critical care medicine, the inner life of a praying, caring physician and, above all, the response of a faithful, loving God to the prayers of His people. Told with transparency, compassion and an honest look at the lessons we can learn from His dealings with us, you will be encouraged to trust a God who is as close as a prayer away.

Perfect for a snuggly storytime this Mother's Day: a "tail" about how baby animals bond with their families! Lions say "I love you" with a purr and a cuddle. Wolves say "I love you" with a howl and a huddle. Bears like to say it with a kiss on the muzzle. A mama cow says it with a lick and a nuzzle. . . Sweet, simple rhymes and glowing illustrations in soft pastels show the touching ways that animals--from elephants to giraffes to chickens--show affection for one another.

It’s naptime, and all the animals are curling up to get some rest. Whether it’s snoozing under the sea or nesting high in the trees, little ones will enjoy learning about the various ways their favorite animals get their sleep. From the New York Times bestselling author Diane Muldrow (Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Little Golden Book) and beloved illustrator David Walker (Bears on Chairs).
