Dr. Larimore is a gifted story teller. This is my first book by this author but it won’t be my last. It is full of truth and wisdom about living your best life. The stories he weaves into this book will make you laugh and make you think deep about how you are spending your days.
I will be sharing it with others. Keep the stories coming.
Loved it!

At first glance, this book appears to be some random stories about a medical practice in Florida. But when you take a deeper look, you find stories of success, failure, and trying again all woven together by faith, perseverance, and a good sense of humor. Dr. Larimore weaves each story into a tapestry that highlights God’s work in his life and gives an honest look at how he grew as a doctor, father, husband, and Christian. You’ll meet many colorful characters who will entertain and challenge you right along with the author. I’ve been entertained and educated by every book of Dr. Larimore’s that I’ve read, and this one is no exception.

Reading the title (The Best Medicine) of this latest book by Walt Larimore implies that all of the stories are related to the medical field. But that would definitely be limiting all that the book has to offer. Yes, Dr. Larimore did include several patient stories (and even changed many names to protect privacy), and his connection to the medical field provides part of his perspective.

But this book is also about the importance of living a life full of integrity. Dr. Larimore is honest about his shortcomings such as his workaholic tendencies. But he also talks about he chose to purposefully grow as a person. He talks about the importance of accountability. I bookmarked many quotations about intentional living. So many words of wisdom are included.

This book is set in Kissimmee, Florida. Evidently that area has a small town feel. I enjoyed repeated stories about certain characters. Getting to "know" his children and some of his colleagues adds to the charm. There were many humorous moments in the book! Really the title could almost be subtitled essays about small-town Florida.

I was glad to see that there will be a sequel to this title. Dr. Larimore has a wonderful way of conveying truth with understanding. While this is a lighter read in many ways, eternal lessons are included that help the message to continue.

Note: I did get an e-copy of the book, so that I could be an advanced reader. Thanks to Revell (and incidentally NetGalley) for allowing that privilege. But I also purchased a copy of the book. All opinions are my own.

This book is not only full of hilarious stories of everyday people, but also very educational. Great advice/tips, wisdom on medical treatments and procedures, awesome suggestions on everyday life, from finances, children, relationships, to your personal relationship with God. This book made me smile, tear up, laugh out loud and made me wish I had the privilege of knowing Dr. Larimore.
