Booklist

Dr. Stephen Lawrence is a rare dental healthcare practitioner, who recognizes the importance of preventive medicine, emotional balance, and a grounded spiritual body to help patients achieve optimal health. He has helped me get people with health problems well with a system that truly works––identifying and eliminating the root cause of illness and helping patients ease suffering and pain and achieve optimal health.

Few have the gifts and talents of Rev. Dr. Stephen Lawrence. His passion for wellness, his awareness of the essential component of spirit throughout the wellness process, and his compassionate heart team up for a powerful combination for better overall health. How wonderful that he can help others through God's Love and guidance!

Fr. Billy Clark

I have known Dr. Stephen Lawrence for 18 years. We have helped patients pursue a purpose-filled desire for good health––physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We have educating them on my health talk radio show, through wellness lectures, and now with his long-anticipated book. I will encourage all my patients and colleagues to read it, as I know it will be filled with the vast knowledge he has learned over the many years of helping his patients achieve optimal health.

David Nelson

Dr. Stephen Lawrence is extremely hard working, sincere, and passionate about helping his patients, family, and friends––through a heartfelt belief in true healing––something rarely experienced today in the medical and dental world. His Divine connection with our Creator, as a priest and a mensch, has helped him focus on what his patients genuinely require––physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It's about time he finally finished this long awaited, highly anticipated, and much needed book of medical and spiritual wisdom. Let the healing begin, and for all concerned, may God's light shine upon Stephen and this book, in order to help serve the needs of the many.
