We’re starting a new set of devotional videos. Short and sweet. To the point. All to grow your faith, hope, and courage.
Everyone
faces adversity
Job losses and financial struggles
Health setbacks
Relational challenges with family, friends and loved ones
Stress, worry and fear of the future
The Bible encourages us to have faith and endure those tough times:
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” (James 1:2-3, ESV).
Often, we feel alone, afraid, and overwhelmed by life’s challenges. But God reminds us that we can trust in Him and experience joy in life’s obstacles. In our fast-paced culture we need:
- Encouragement helping us navigate our crazy world.
- Quick reminders of Bible Truths
- Admonitions to keep going and to stay focused.

Dr. Page describes himself as the best guy to see on the worst day of your life. It would be simple to portray Dr. Charles Page, MD as just a country surgeon. But that would be missing way too much.
He helps everyday people navigate life’s inevitable tragedies and triumphs. As practicing surgeon, he has learned to listen to his patients. He aims to help people embrace a deeper understanding of why they respond to life events in the way they do.
Through his books, videos, and his TV show, Dr. Chuck peers into the everyday lives of people struggling, learning, and thriving in their challenges.
He comes along at a time when Americans, and the world for that matter, are going through confusing changes such as aging demographics and new technology that is changing how we work and live.
Dr. Chuck has created a viewpoint which reflects the struggles and setbacks of the patients who have entered his office. He tells their stories (with confidentiality—of course) in his short powerful devotions.
The goal of all Dr. Chuck’s writing and speaking is to express the impact that the Christian faith makes in our life struggles.
A graduate of the prestigious Baylor College of Medicine, he completed his training under pioneering surgeon, Dr. Michael E. Debakey, whose discoveries influenced medicine in the twentieth century.
When he’s not doctoring and mentoring, Dr. Chuck loves spending time with his wife, Joanna, and their five amazing children – Jacob, Jonathan, Georgia, Jane Aubrey and Charlie.
Here’s a recent interview with Dr. Page on BooksShelves:
BookShelves: “When did you start writing?”
Dr. Chuck: “I started writing over fifteen years ago. My first book grew out of my quest for a good night’s sleep. I wrote a book which explored sleep and rest from a Christian worldview, called Surrendered Sleep.
As a physician all kinds of things rob my ability to sleep well. Trying to piece them all together I began to study the Bible to find some answers. I was surprised to find lots of answers to help me get some shut eye.
Being my first attempt at writing and publishing, I learned lots of things–the hard way. Now, years later–I’m able to laugh a little about my first book. I tell folks, ‘Read my book. One way or another–you’ll get a better nights sleep.’”
Bookshelves: “What makes writing your passion?”
Dr. Chuck: “Over the years I’ve realized writing is a way for me to process the chaotic events I encounter–as a surgeon, father, and husband. I’ve realized the greatest benefit is probably the one I receive–learning how to cope with life’s crazy circumstances.”
BooksShelves: “What would you say to your readers?”
Dr. Chuck: “I want my readers:
- to be inspired.
- to have their faith and courage strengthened.
- to see the possibilities in their problems.
- to know they are not alone–that others are with them in their journey.”
BooksShelves: “Who are your favorite authors? And why?”
Dr. Chuck: “Max Lucado–for inspiring people’s faith. Jack Canfield–for writing volumes of impactful short stories. And Francis Schaefer–for encouraging people to think deeply about what they believe.”
