As he reconciled his Christian faith with his understanding of medicine, Dr Crocker became aware that God was working alongside him during an after-hours medical emergency. In this book, Dr Crocker recounts this life-changing encounter with the miraculous power of God, and also presents the testimonies of many other doctors who, like him, have experienced the presence of a \"silent partner\" as they carry out their medical duties. Readers will be amazed at these insiders' accounts of how God intervenes in the world of medicine today!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"An essential read for those struggling with the considerable challenge of integrating a passion for the science of medicine, the art of compassionate holistic care and a love of the God who has created them.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDr Michael Burke MBBS, PhD, FRACGP, FAICD Christian Medical and Dental Fellowship of Australia\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"It is my hope that this book will encourage a large number of people to recognize that their hope lies with God, rather than with themselves.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBen Carson MD, Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Professor of Neurological Surgery, Oncology, Plastic Surgery, and Pediatrics, Johns Hopkins University.

Dr Ern Crocker in his book \u003ci\u003eNine Minutes Past Midnight\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates keen intellectual precision whole at the same time positioning himself in a very real faith. I love the reality of the book. I enjoy the stories of incredible medical and technological breakthrough. I am in awe when healing comes when doctors know that it was not their efforts alone that won the day. Both types are stories of divine intervention. I am comforted that others struggle with the reality that healing is not effected in every case, either by divine or by natural means. The reality of our limitations as shared in this book, serves to remind us that there is still much to learn, and much to keep us humble, even while celebrating great success. This book and its heroes are worth celebrating.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDavid Crabtree, Senior Pastor, DaySpring Church, Australia\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eNine Minutes Past Midnight\u003c\/i\u003e is a compelling book, demonstrating perfectly what it looks like when the kingdom of heaven is expressed through the hands of those in the medical field.

The purpose of Crocker's assembled interviews, conversations, and anecdotes, was to set out \"factual evidence\" - sometimes quite startling factual evidence - entrusted to him by \"prominent medical practitioners of sound mind and undisputed word\" (thereby confirming Crocker's own relevant experiences) regarding \"the manner in which a 'personal' God interacts and intervenes in the lives of doctors, their patients, families and friends.\" This factual evidence related to God's intervening in the healing process today, not simply in the past. Put differently, the central theme of \u003ci\u003eNine Minutes Past Midnight\u003c\/i\u003e is the experience by doctors and patients of God's presence now in day-to-day medical practice as the \"third person involved in patient care and in the healing process...that unseen person or 'silent partner'.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Rarely does a reviewer get to write about a book as remarkable as Ernest Crocker's \u003ci\u003eNine Minutes Past Midnight.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDr Colin Goodwin (extract from review)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Mr Ernest Crocker does not work alone but with a 'silent partner' he calls on during his treatment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As a young doctor he found just how powerful this 'silent partner' is when called out to a medical emergency at \u003ci\u003eNine Minutes Past Midnight\u003c\/i\u003e.
