This is his true spiritual north. The book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ARP website.

Getting a copy of this book, readers will read and learn about the author’s agrarian, rural, and godly upbringing how these have made him who he is how to become deeply fulfilled in his life, and how the oak tree and spring on the farm symbolize these precepts.

Dr. Vernon Carrigan is now a retired internal medicine physician who worked for 40 years as a physician and healthcare administrator in his hometown of Clarksville, TN. He became a Christian at age 13 and practiced Christian principles in his life and practice. He has been married twice, the second time after a tragic accident claimed the life of his first wife and has had two sons, the older of whom has also passed.

In retirement, he has enjoyed frequent international travel, including medical mission trips, reading, writing, golfing, photography, bridge, and spending time with his grandson.

Dr. Carrigan was also the founder of Bethany House in Clarksville, which was a faith-based restorative program on his farm for drug-addicted women.

“A Life Story of Heritage and Faith” is a book of his life experiences of rural upbringing and as an internal medicine physician over a 40-year career. It is centered around his relationships with God and man: family, friends, patients, community, and his heritage and faith, through serial personal tragedies and in working with others in the joys, trials, and challenges of life.

Join him as he chronicles his humble beginnings through education and ministering to patients, friends, employees, and many others. Let’s get started in 1955 on our farm on the day and occasion of his first remembrances and self-awareness.
