Touching God: Understanding and Experiencing the Holy Spirit is a compelling invitation to rediscover the power, presence, and person of the Holy Spirit—not as distant theology, but as a living reality meant to transform everyday Christian life.
Written with clarity, conviction, and spiritual depth, this book bridges Scripture and experience, guiding readers beyond intellectual belief into genuine encounter. Dr. Chauncey W. Crandall IV—physician, healer, and lifelong witness to God’s supernatural power—draws from decades of ministry, medicine, and global missions to reveal how the Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, empowers, heals, and transforms the believer from the inside out.
Moving carefully through the biblical foundations of the Spirit’s work, Touching God explores salvation, spiritual gifts, prayer, holiness, and the Spirit-filled life as it was lived by Jesus and the early Church. The book confronts a central problem of modern Christianity: a faith rich in doctrine yet often poor in power. With pastoral warmth and biblical authority, Dr. Crandall calls believers back to the vibrant, Spirit-led life promised in Scripture.
More than a study, this book is an invitation—to intimacy with God, to deeper surrender, and to renewed boldness in faith. Whether you are new to Christianity or have walked with God for decades, Touching God will awaken a hunger for more than religious routine. It points readers toward a living relationship with the Holy Spirit—the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead and now dwells within every believer.
This is not merely a book to be read, but an encounter to be experienced.
Raising the Dead: A Doctor Encounters the Supernatural
Raising the Dead by Chauncey W. Crandall IV, MD, is a compelling exploration of faith, medicine, and the mystery of healing—written with intellectual rigor and clinical credibility. A Yale-educated physician with decades of experience caring for some of the most influential figures in American society, Dr. Crandall speaks with rare authority to readers who value both scientific excellence and spiritual depth.
How does a physician trained at the highest levels of modern medicine come to believe that supernatural healing is real? That question lies at the heart of this remarkable story. Through a series of deeply personal and professionally grounded encounters, Dr. Crandall traces a spiritual journey that reshaped not only his theology, but his understanding of what it truly means to heal.
Rather than positioning faith in opposition to medicine, Raising the Dead presents a disciplined integration of both. The narrative is rooted in real clinical cases, ethical responsibility, and moments of profound personal loss—lending seriousness and credibility to events that challenge conventional assumptions about the limits of healing. Sensationalism is avoided in favor of clarity, humility, and careful reflection.
At its core, this book is an examination of medicine practiced in full recognition of the human person—spirit, soul and body. Elegant, accessible, and deeply thought-provoking, Raising the Dead is both a medical memoir and a meaningful contribution to the ongoing conversation about science, faith, and the true nature of healing.
Touching Heaven: A Cardiologist’s Encounters with Death and Living Proof of an Afterlife
What happens when a physician trained to fight death comes face to face with what lies beyond it?
In Touching Heaven, cardiologist Chauncey W. Crandall, MD, invites readers into a deeply personal journey shaped by decades at the bedside of the critically ill, and those who returned from the brink of death. Trained in the rigor of modern medicine and grounded in scientific discipline, Dr. Crandall did not set out to write about heaven. Yet repeated encounters—both clinical and profoundly personal—forced him to confront a reality medicine alone could not explain.
Through moving patient stories, near-death experiences, extraordinary healings, and the heartbreaking loss of his own son, Dr. Crandall presents compelling evidence that life does not end when the heart stops beating. With humility and clarity, he explores moments when the veil between heaven and earth seemed briefly lifted, revealing peace, purpose, and an unseen realm more real than many imagine.
This is not speculative theology or sentimental storytelling. Touching Heaven is a thoughtful, honest examination of eternity through the eyes of a physician who demanded evidence—and found it. At once comforting and challenging, the book offers hope to the grieving, reassurance to the doubting, and a renewed vision of life shaped by eternity.
If heaven is real, everything changes. This book shows why.
