Is there anything distinctive, then, about Christian nurses?\u003cbr\u003e The authors of \u003cem\u003eTransforming Care\u003c\/em\u003e address the question of how Christian faith molds nursing practice. Suggesting that such faith entails something more essential than evangelism or a certain position on moral dilemmas, they deal with the ordinary, everyday nature of nursing practice.\u003cbr\u003e The first part of the book articulates the relationship between Christian faith and nursing practice while analyzing the concepts of \u003cem\u003enursing, person, environment, \u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ehealth\u003c\/em\u003e common to nursing literature. The second part describes and evaluates nursing practice in three different health care contexts: acute care settings, mental health facilities, and community care contexts. Sidebars throughout the book offer thought-provoking quotations from well-known authors and nursing experts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eContributors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cheryl Brandsen\u003cbr\u003e Bart Cusveller\u003cbr\u003e Mary Molewyk Doornbos\u003cbr\u003e Mary Flikkema\u003cbr\u003e Ruth E.
