40 Minutes with God, Revised Edition

Reviews:

“Scientific evidence has confirmed the contribution of spirituality and prayer to health and longevity. No longer should people choose between "the scientific" and "the spiritual", for these domains can come together in a beautiful complementarity. Dr. Vinod Nigam's splendid book shows how. This book is a window onto the medicine of the future: the union of the body, mind, and spirit?—and intellect, intuition, and inner knowing.?"
—Larry Dossey, MD, Author of Healing Words and the  Power of Premonitions, Dallas, Texas, USA

“I am impressed by this book. Treat yourself to marvelous adventure and inspirational experience by reading this book.”
—Harold G. Koenig, MD, Author of the bestseller The Healing Power of  Faith, North Carolina, USA

“...You sound like me. I know several patients who prayed or left their troubles to God and healed their cancers.”
—Bernie Siegel, MD, Author of the bestseller Love, Medicine and Miracles, New Haven, Connecticut, USA

“Prayer has tremendous power to heal. Dr. V.K. Nigam, a surgeon, prays to alleviate his patient's sufferings and cure them of chronic illnesses. In 40 Minutes with God, he shares his meditation techniques and shows how spirituality can breach the boundaries that limit traditional medicine. He does not rely on his skills with the scalpel alone, he prays for his patients. He is one of the few Indian doctors who has a medical technique patent to his name, that is ‘Window Operation’ for Hydrocele.”
—The Times of India

“Dr. Vinod Kumar Nigam, a laparoscopic surgeon, prays for his patients for forty minutes every morning and has found it quite fruitful. He is not alone as researchers substantiate the belief that prayers possess miraculous powers.”
—Hindustan Times

“40 Minutes with God is an extremely well-written book. I feel that spirituality is very supportive to the patient's needs, the results are encouraging to the people. When you have a medical problem yourself and there is not much hope, then reading this gives encouragement to you both physically and mentally. The present day realization that the scientific medicine and religious beliefs are both required together in unison for treatment and cure of the sickness, they are not against each other.”
—Mr. Robert G. Harrison, The Asswin Project in India, (U.K. Registered NGO) For Welfare of Animals

“40 Minutes with God in a simple manner advocates the theory of spirituality as an aid to modern medical science. Dr. Nigam's effort is to spread the knowledge that science and spirituality go together and are complementary and medical practitioners need to use both in their treatment.”
—Vasant Sathe, Former Union Minister

“40 Minutes with God is an outstanding book about health and spirituality. It deals well with healing and spirituality. We, Arabs, as Muslims are God-fearing and believe in healing with God's blessing. Prayers to God, we believe, are always answered. This book, I am sure will put confidence in people and patients and will help in healing and recovery.”
—Dr. Ahmed Salem Al-Wahishi, Ph. D, Ambassador (Retd.), Chief Relation Officer, Arab League, in New Delhi

"40 Minutes with God is the most valuable research work of Dr. Nigam. He has proved, through real case histories, how science and spirituality complement each other. The book carefully and creatively presents techniques, developed by Dr Nigam for health and healing, that anyone can use for treatment of certain acute and chronic diseases. 40 Minutes With God is not yet another simple advisory but a self-help book. Read on to find a real connection between the body, mind and spirituality."
—Dr. K.B.L. Mathur, Former Economic Advisor, Government of India

Description:

This is really a how-to-book that goes beyond talking about spirituality and prayer and tells you how to make science and spirituality a part of your life. The two concepts are not at war, but actually complement each other. Mankind can truly progress only when spirituality and science learn to co-exist. Science and spirituality are both essential for one's well being.

Examples mentioned in the course of this book are real case histories, but names of those involved have been changed to keep their identities confidential. These are meant to open the connecting door between spirituality and science for the reader.

Prayer is a universal phenomenon and advocated across religions as a means of communicating with God, the Supreme Power or creative force. It is prevalent in all cultures. Prayer has healing powers.

Currently, in the era of body-mind medicine, doctors have begun to prescribe meditation along with drugs. This is a trend that is here to stay and, as the benefits become more and more visible, it will only become increasingly popular in the years to come. This belief forms a basis for this book.

Target Audience:

Professionals in medical fraternity, professionals in the spirituality world i.e., priest etc. and general readers.
