Book Description
This book describes how the life and faith of his parents influenced the author in his early years until he finally asked the Lord to enter his life, reinforced by his wife’s faith, and followed by a lifetime of blessings and miracles. It describes how his family survived the Second World War in the Philippines and the years that followed as he went through medical school where he met his wife and the years of training that resulted in their both taking over the hospital founded by his parents. It describes how he and his family received scholarships for further studies in the US and how he started a career in international health programs and management training workshops in all continents for twenty years, finally founding an accredited MBA program in Fullerton, California. It describes how he learned about what the purpose of health care should be, and that is to help people live a healthy life and how they can achieve it. It describes how he and his wife finally returned to the Philippines and how he applied what he learned in the hospital and college and in hospital management workshops in all continents. ***** His autobiography is one substantial storytelling that offers a front seat to the nuanced and textured narration of the evolution of the dignified medical doctor, sought-after hospital management educator and practitioner, author, world health policy influencer, and dedicated family man. I’m a believer of the concept that good leadership starts with personal leadership based on integrity and other values. The autobiography clearly shows that what Lorma espouses as central to its culture—love of God, respect for the individual, and continuous improvement mirror the personal values and leadership foundation of Dr. Rufi. It was evident in the book that God was placed in the center of Dr. Rufi’s life, and every milestone, he always attributed to the Lord’s grace. The autobiography is therefore such a blessing to readers who want to be inspired by how God works his miracles on a man destined to lead and inspire. —Noel M. Cortez, PhD Former Associate Dean, Asian Institute of Management If you’re wondering where all the well-lived lives have gone, look no further. This book is for you. —Dave Conner Director of Talent Development, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina At the core of his life is his genuine Christian commitment, doing what he does as a servant of the Savior, putting a human face on God’s compassion for the neediest among us. Read the book. Then thank God for empowering this remarkable man! —Rev. Van C. Elliott San Diego, California

Book Description
This volume reviews and integrates the growing body of contemporary psychological research on the links between religious faith and health outcomes. It presents up-to-date findings from empirical studies of populations ranging from healthy individuals to those with specific clinical problems, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, and psychological disorders. Drawing on multiple perspectives in psychology, the book examines such critical questions as the impact of religious practices on health behaviors and health risks; the role played by faith in adaptation to illness or disability; and possible influences on physiological functioning and mortality. Chapters reflect the close collaboration of the editors and contributing authors, who discuss commonalities and differences in their work, debate key methodological concerns, and outline a cohesive agenda for future research.

Book Description
Faith and the Pursuit of Health explores how Pentecostal Christians manage chronic illness in ways that sheds light on health disparities and social suffering in Samoa, a place where rates of obesity and related cardiometabolic disorders have reached population-wide levels. Pentecostals grapple with how to maintain the health of their congregants in an environment that fosters cardiometabolic disorders. They find ways to manage these forms of sickness and inequality through their churches and the friendships developed within these institutions. Examining how Pentecostal Christianity provides many Samoans with tools to manage day-to-day issues around health and sickness, Jessica Hardin argues for understanding the synergies between how Christianity and biomedicine practice chronicity.
