Bernard Palmer was a busy practising general surgeon. Many of his patients had serious and often life-threatening problems and over the years he has become used to talking with them about his very practical Christian faith. A number were intrigued and wanted to know more, leading Bernard and his wife Rosy to open their home to anyone who cared to come to seek answers to the most important of life's questions.

This book is a result of these discussions, and Bernard and Rosy's prayer is that people who might never walk into a church will be able to read this very practical book to make up their own minds about God, Jesus and what it means to be a Christian.
