What Readers Are Saying

4.5 stars from over 1,000 ratings on Amazon

β€œOverall, it was a charming story of physicians who experienced things in their lives which they could not attribute to coincidence. One story is the well-attested account of a woman with end-stage multiple sclerosis who experienced a sudden and complete recovery. There is no doubt about this one β€” it is multiply corroborated and truly unexplained.”

Dr. Timothy Cook β€’ Internal Medicine
Goodreads

β€œIn 'Physicians' Untold Stories,' Scott Kolbaba invites over two dozen physicians to relate encounters of the unexplainable and miraculous in their medical practices. Divine intervention in hopeless situations is portrayed convincingly and with clarity. This fine book is inspirational and recommended for anyone seeking hope and strength in troubled circumstances.”

Dr. Larry White β€’ Family Medicine
Goodreads

β€œAnatole France once said 'chance' was God's signature when He did not choose to sign His name. Dr. Kolbaba's book is a collection of such chances as told to him by other physicians. The fact that the stories come from a number of other individuals over a span of years makes them believable. I highly recommend this book.”

Goodreads

β€œMUST READ! These stories are the ones you need to hear β€” the ones doctors never talk about! I'm also in medicine and have had more than one time I've been drawn to do things by gut or Heavenly Father. Over the last 30 years respect for doctors has decreased. People need to read these stories! It will lift you up and change how you feel!”

Trailgal β€’ Emergency Medicine
Goodreads

β€œA feel-good book of hope and wonder that will appeal most to readers who believe in divine intervention. Kolbaba has catalogued inspiration moments into small stories perfect for bite-size reading.”

Kirkus Reviews
Kirkus Reviews

β€œFull of uplifting stories that point to the existence of a higher being without being specifically religious. Answered prayers, inspired actions and life after death. Read with a box of tissues and be prepared for goosebumps. Quick read, mostly because I didn't want to put it down.”
