God's Field Hospital offers treatment by the greatest physician of all, God the healer, for those hurt, wounded or ill, and all those who find themselves in the dark, nursing a cold heart, or holding on to a failing life. And, as with any field hospital, the church should be open on all sides, to all who feel excluded.

"A creative, comprehensive, practical expression of Pope Francis's metaphor of the "church as a field hospital." Michael Hansen's new book makes this powerful metaphor real. The church does not describe or interpret a field hospital--it is a field hospital."
--James Martin, SJ, author of Learning to Pray
"God's Field Hospital makes Pope Francis's metaphor of the "church as a field hospital" real. The sixty Ignatian spiritual exercises offer retreatants and directors an effective relationship with God, the healer."

"I personally witness to the practicality and power of the spiritual exercises in God's Field Hospital. These exercises invite us to access the riches of Ignatian spiritualty so that we can listen more carefully and experience God's healing, and so be renewed for Christ's mission in the world. Warning! This book could change your life."
