The Nurse with an Alabaster Jar
$20.00

As Christian nurses, Jesus entrusts each of us with an alabaster jar of precious oil

Ointment, or oil, appears frequently in the Bible. Regarded as a sign of God's rich blessing, oil nourishes the body as well as the soul.

As Christian nurses, Jesus entrusts each of us with an alabaster jar of precious oil. We pour out this oil in daily acts of mercy and physical care, as well as through spiritual care. God gives us the privilege of breaking open the alabaster jar of the Scriptures for people who face uncertainty, suffering and death.

Sr. Mary Elizabeth O'Brien, SFCC, reveals, in this comprehensive book, how the Scriptures have shaped nursing from its beginning and continues to provide direction and resources for nursing care.
