Dieters Prayer Book
$18.00Add to cartDiets and diet books have never been more popular. At the same time, recent studies show that Americans have never been more overweight. It’s no wonder, then, that women who are trying to lose weight–be it 10 or 100 pounds–are among the most frequently discouraged people around. Every day we are faced with fridge wars, bad mirror moments, diets that don’t work, skinny friends who can eat whatever they like, and husbands who reminisce about the size 8 they married.
Yet victory can be yours. Increasingly, scientific studies are indicating that in health matters, prayer works–and in The Dieter’s Prayer Book, you’ll find that daily ounce of spiritual encouragement you need. Not tied to any one particular diet, The Dieter’s Prayer Book can be used in conjunction with any healthy-eating program, or on its own. Each day, these upbeat prayers will remind you what really matters, make you feel less alone, and empower you to achieve your goal of healthful living.

My Life And My Death
$21.95Add to cart“My greatest teacher has been my cancer,” says the author in his story of faith as he faces death. But the author never goes too far in the direction of becoming “touchy-feely” with his illness. In fact, he refers to his cancer as being of the devil, yet he never dwells too long in this application either. There is humor but never too much. There is some “preaching” about people with grudges against God but never too much. Instead he tells us, step by step, how he learned of his cancer, how he learned that his cancer was worse than originally thought, how he came to bond with his doctor, how he came to accept the stages of disintegration of his body. The author’s main work here is to find ways to bring us unbearable tidings about sickness and dying in ways that, with God, are bearable.

Infertility Companion : Hope And Help For Couples Facing Infertility
$19.99Add to cartA thorough Christian guide to the medical, ethical, emotional, marital, spiritual, and biblical challenges of infertility. Most married couples feel a God-given drive for a child that is the product of their love. Infertility is an emotionally painful experience of unfulfilled longings and the death of dreams. Couples experience a grief cycle within a grief cycle, with monthly hope and despair falling inside the larger picture of loss. Infertile couples are second only to cancer patients in what they are willing to endure for a cure. The Infertility Companion is written in a warm, sometimes even humorous style that incorporates true stories the authors have encountered in their ministry to infertile couples. The authors’ teamwork approach provides a balance of male/female, doctor/patient, and clinical/theological, offering practical perspectives. This guide helps infertile couples use the crisis they are experiencing to strengthen their spiritual lives and their marriage relationship. It reveals the latest medical research and offers an exploration of how the Bible guides us through underlying principles such as the sanctity of life. Although written primarily for the couple, it is also for family members, support groups, pastors, and therapists. Questions at the end of each chapter and in the workbook section at the back of the book can be used by couples or groups.

Right Road : Life Choices For Clergy
$17.00Add to cartMany clergy are in startlingly bad health. Not only do they regularly report depression, stress, and serious family and financial problems, they also exhibit higher than normal incidences of obesity, high cholesterol levels, inactivity, high blood pressure, and heart disease. How effective can professionals in ministry be with such debilities and vulnerabilities? Are clergy too busy helping others to take care of themselves?
Gwen Halaas’s caring and savvy book addresses clergy health directly: clergy have a spiritual as well as physical need to care for themselves, to live to the fullest, to ensure that they enjoy the life and gifts God gave them. Building her brief, practical book around the wellness wheel, Halaas emphasizes not just healthy eating but a whole array of life-affirming choices for clergy. Halaas provides the tools for clergy to choose growth and well-being over burnout and decline. With this practical and upbeat volume, clergy can begin to put their own lives in perspective and ‘keep [themselves] in training for a godly life’ (1 Timothy 4:7).

Food For Life
$17.00Add to cartThis book draws on L. Shannon Jung’s gifts as theologian, ethicist, pastor, and eater extraordinaire. In this deeply thoughtful but very lively book, he encourages us to see our humdrum habits of eating and drinking as a spiritual practice that can renew and transform us and our world. In a fascinating sequence that takes us from the personal to the global, Jung establishes the religious meaning of eating and shows how it dictates a healthy order of eating. He exposes Christians’ complicity in the face of widespread eating disorders we experience personally, culturally, and globally, and he argues that these disorders can be reversed through faith, Christian practices, attention to habitual activities like cooking and gardening, the church’s ministry, and transforming our cultural policies about food.

Dear God Why Am I So Tired
$15.49Add to cartDear God, Why Am I So Tired? is a prayer that most Christians are familiar with. In fact, fatigue is the number one reported reason for visiting the doctor’s office. Despite spending more money each year on the latest fad diets and medicine, the obesity and disease rates continue to climb. Many people are overweight, tired, and sick. Most diets fail because they do not address the underlying cause of weight gain. Dr. Jeffrey Blair’s groundbreaking research led to the discovery that most fatigue, weight gain, and stress-related diseases can be traced to over-stressed adrenal glands. Hypoadrenia is the most under-diagnosed yet prevalent disease of our time. Dr. Blair has spent nearly fifteen years researching the cause of fatigue, weight gain, and disease. He was one of the first physicians to report that improving adrenal gland function will lead to youthful energy and permanent weight loss. Dr. Blair’s research also showed that improved adrenal function can reduce menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats. Dear God, Why Am I So Tired? is a practical guide to unlimited energy, weight loss, and disease prevention by overcoming adrenal exhaustion. Dr. Blair discusses his own battle with severe fatigue, obesity, and disease. He lost over forty pounds and has more energy than ever. Dr. Blair lays out a clear plan to regain and maintain optimum health.

Maxillofacial Orthopedics : A Clinical Approach For The Growing Child
$19.99Add to cartIt has been over twenty years since we finished writing Maxillofacial Orthopedics. Most of the patients illustrated were in my private practice. It has been a pleasure to see them grow into adults with wide, full smiles. Over the years, I have received many calls from clinicians asking where they might obtain the text. What has caught my attention is the variety of health care professionals that have requested the book. Not only dentists, but also chiropractors, ENT physicians, physical therapists, hygienists, and others have an interest in orthodontic/orthopedic treatments that protect the temporomandibular joint and result in full, healthy smiles. Since the last printing, many new ideas, techniques, and materials have been developed for improving orthodontic care. But many health care professionals are still not incorporating maxillofacial orthopedic techniques into their treatment of malocclusion or temporomandibular disorder. This paperback version of our original text is an effort to reach clinicians who did not have an opportunity to read or have the text available for teaching their staff or patients about maxillofacial techniques.

Dinahs Story : The Struggles And Triumphs Of Parenting A Child With Prader
$17.49Add to cartDinah’s Story documents the life journey of a baby born with Prader-Willi Syndrome, a birth defect not yet identified at the time of her birth. While Dinah’s Story focuses on the unique-and sometimes bizarre-characteristics of PWS, it would benefit any parent, extended family member, or educator who lives with and loves a child or adult with special needs. The combination of faith (Loretta’s faith in God), works (her pragmatic and stubborn approach to finding solutions), and the love that drives them both creates a special environment where miracles happen. Dinah’s Story is one of family and faith, hope and despair, tragedies and triumphs. It’s the story of a baby who was not supposed to survive, but who, at age 47, celebrates life through her love of family and friends, her gift of painting, and her trust in God. You will laugh with the author, cry with her, and share the jubilation that comes with perseverance. And through the eyes of a mother, you will get a glimpse of how our Heavenly Father views His precious creation-Dinah. All proceeds from the sale of Dinah’s Story go to the Dinah Stafford Scholarship Fund at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona.

Blessed Health : The African American Womans Guide To Physical And Spiritua
$28.95Add to cartBlessed Health offers African-American women the medical information and inspirational motivation they need to achieve total health — a healthy mind, body, and spirit.
Many black women will go to church all day every Sunday but won’t take one day out of the year to get a Pap test and mammogram done. Yet that yearly doctor’s visit could help save lives. Often the first people to pray when a serious illness strikes, black women may be the last to seek timely medical care. As a result, they are suffering with, and dying from, manageable illnesses such as heart disease, obesity, cancer, and diabetes more than any other group in the United States.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Don’t wait until a health emergency happens before turning to your faith and your physician. You can achieve optimal health by arming yourself with medical knowledge and a strong spiritual base. Research has proven that a well-nurtured spiritual self can help to replenish, rejuvenate, and safeguard your physical self.
Written by a prominent African-American OB/GYN and a highly respected journalist, Blessed Health is a personal health and spirituality guide for every stage of a black woman’s life. Included here is important information on:
How your body works, and what can be done to prevent or help solve common health problems, including pelvic infections and fibroid tumors
How to find a doctor that ministers to your physical and emotional needs
How to successfully cope with illness, from a faith perspective
How spiritual wisdom and prayer can decrease the harmful effects of stress
How best to take care of your breasts and reproductive organs, and decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and cancer
and much, much more, including the latest on managing menopause.

Dare To Believe
$13.49Add to cartHere is a story of one man’s battle with Parkinson’s Disease, and his victory over that pain. In this goal, Mark Sharp has been an inspiration as an author. He relays the immense struggles and life changes that took place for him and his family, and in the end we feel joy at his prognosis.
Here too, is a story of a Christian sharing his view of the gospel. If you are looking for guidance in this area, this is the book for you. I am certain that it will inspire many. However, if you are not interested in Mark’s view of the power of God and the Christian viewpoint, I suggest that this is not a book for you. It could be argued that the book is pure propaganda, but since it portrays the events of this man’s life, it is also a miraculous story.
The book is short but concise and to the point. The story is well written and the points of argument are well documented and introduced. While I do not agree with most of the content, the purpose of the author is fulfilled and I applaud him.
The basic idea of the book is comparing life with a game. There are rules to follow if you want to win and Mark spells out many of them and leads the reader to discover the rest on their own journey, and find their own coach waiting for them on the field. While my own coaches told me that winning is not important – it is how you play the game that counts, Mark’s coach told him that winning is the most important, and that is the fun of the game. Different philosophies and different outlooks on life, lead to different appreciations for this title. Take it as you will. Either way, the joyous result of victory over a disease is a reason worth reading this one.
