What Happens After Midnight in the Hospitals of Savannah, Leibnitz
Harold Koenig's research at Duke University's Center for Spirituality, Theology and Health has produced over 500 peer-reviewed publications on the relationship between religious practice and health outcomes. His findings — that regular religious attendance is associated with lower mortality, stronger immune function, lower blood pressure, and reduced rates of depression — have been replicated by independent researchers worldwide. Dr. Scott Kolbaba's "Physicians' Untold Stories" translates these population-level findings into individual stories, showing what Koenig's statistics look like in the lives of real patients and real physicians. For readers in Savannah, Leibnitz, Styria, the book brings decades of epidemiological research to life, demonstrating that the link between faith and health is not a statistical artifact but a clinical reality.
