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.
