Gabriel of Urantia asked the question, in the beginning of his
struggle with dialysis, "God, why is this happening to me?"
Throughout his 8-month dialysis experience, 3 days a week, 4 hours
a day, being tied down to a chair while his blood flowed from his
body through a machine and back, he realizes-from the people he
meets also on dialysis and in the hospitals after
post-kidney-transplant-that very bad things happen to very good
people. He met young and old alike, tied down to the machines just
like he was, and the young people were the hardest for him to
resolve in his mind with God and also to try to give them hope. As
a minister, he felt obligated to do so. Being a Pastor of a church
(Global Community Communications Alliance-a very social,
environmental, and spiritual activist church), he knew that bad
things happened to good people who try to change the world. But
this disease is personal, between him and God you might say. So he
had to discover for himself why God allowed this to happen to him
and to the other very good people he met with various traumatic
illnesses in the hospitals and dialysis centers. Gabriel of Urantia
tries to explain how he felt along the path, from the beginning to
the receiving of his new kidney from his 22-year-old daughter and
gaining the hope and health to continue not only his spiritual
work, but his work as a musician, guitar player, and singer (in
which he was planning a tour around the country with his 11-piece
Bright & Morning Star Band), while now taking immunosuppressant
drugs to keep him alive. He had all the fears that a new transplant
patient has. How long will the kidney last? What other affects do
these drugs have on my body? He writes about his experience with
the medical world, the services he experienced from both very
qualified people and those not so qualified (experienced and
inexperienced care givers), as well as the bureaucracy of the
medical field and insurance companies (both private and
governmental). He realized that often in the medical field, the
right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing and the patient
suffered the results. Beyond that, Gabriel of Urantia tries to give
hope to people with life-threatening illnesses by sharing his faith
in the Creator to all who may read his book. A must-read for anyone
on dialysis or with any life-threatening illness, from a writer who
went through this and can identify with what they are going through
and give them hope through this trauma in their lives.
