Former Deputy Premier and Medical Physician Dr. Kedrick Pickering has officially launched his debut book, Walk in Faith & Medicine, at the Dr D Orlando Smith Hospital lobby on Wednesday, January 22.
Already a best-seller, the book offers an intimate exploration of his medical journey intertwined with his faith from his medical career, particularly between 1992 and 1999.
Chief Executive Officer of the BVI Health Services Authority, Dr. June Samuel, took time to introduce Dr. Pickering and spoke on the growth and development of medicine in the Virgin Islands and his role in that growth.
The book delves into pivotal moments, such as operating on his wife during an emergency caesarean section. Dr Pickering also highlighted the evolution of healthcare in the Virgin Islands, comparing the rudimentary facilities of the 1980s to the modern resources available today.
Dr. Pickering spoke on his journey.
The book hopes to inspire readers to reflect on their own faith journeys.
Copies of Walk in Faith & Medicine are available for $20. Dr Pickering signed over 60 pre-ordered copies. Dr Pickering’s book is available on Amazon for electronic purchase. For those unable to attend the launch, signed hard copies will also be available through local distributors.
