This book shows two sides of a mental breakdown. The first described by Laurie as she experienced it when she was 18. The other described by her mother Carol as she tried to understand and find help for Laurie.A person having a breakdown loses their normal perception of reality and finds it difficult to make appropriate choices. They need someone to guide them towards help and show them love and acceptance while they struggle to once again find their true self.Don't give up-there is a right kind of help somewhere. Mental illness is not a death sentence. Greater awareness and education have brought about successful treatments for many. The closet doors are opening. More help and greater compassion are erasing the stigma, which has for so many years haunted persons going through this illness. This is why we have written this book.
From the foot of the cross, to the morning of the resurrection. Mary, the mother of Jesus, travels from Golgotha to the Upper room to hide from the Jewish Temple Guards. Here the story of how Jesus was conceived is revealed. The details grow as more people enter the room. As the story unfolds, the trial of Jesus is not just about His actions. It is a story about a woman's acceptance of her role as God's chosen vessel to bring His Son into the world. Her commitment to the truth and mankind's rejection of the truth.Mary brings the Word of God into the world. However, she encounters the face of evil near the resurrection and her life's choices are put to a test!Mary is an exciting book for lovers of Christian literature and readers that appreciate impeccable writing and narration. The author's writing technique and distinct style of displaying Biblical content deserve to be applauded. I commend the author for the book's themes and the excellent tone throughout the pages. Every subject Christopher Graham touched on was absorbing.-Reviewed by Aaron Washington, Pacific Book Review"Overall, this is a joyously idiosyncratic perspective on the love of Mary and Jesus for one another, one that doubles as a poignant reflection on family, parenting, and loss."-Reviewed by Boze Herrington, US Review of Books

This is a story that leads from growing up in a small country town into adulthood and the darkest depths of hell and insanity and out the other side to a wonderful life, completely free from the past, to an enlightenment few get to experience. It is a journey, which is not really a journey but a gradual awakening, as to how the God of his understanding has been with him throughout.The following is a review of the first book, A Life So Good: "An Australian memoir as good as any Tim Winton novel. A raw and very poignant memoir. The author's ability to strip back his life without embellishments keeps the story real. The narrative is driven at a lively pace through his ability to create effortless movement through time. He carries the reader along as if on his shoulders, such is the caring nature of this sensitive man who suffered the pain and indignity of an addiction to alcohol. A life which so far spans some seventy years and is condensed into this 174 page story makes for easy lively reading. How can one man accomplish so much in the face of such adversity? It is more than a story of hope as he demonstrates that if your heart is good there are people in this great country of ours willing to give you a go. It's a not a love story but a story of love and the surprising way you can find yourself through love" (Leanne Esposito, October 31, 2015).
This book is a story book about the eye. After some 60 years in eye research and clinical work in ophthalmology there have been many instances, where I remember patients and their problems, a book I read or a place that I traveled. This book has 30 chapters and the only thing they have in common, other than all having the same writer is that all have something to do with the eye or eye associated structures such as the eye muscles.None of the chapters are meant to be clinical reports; all are stories and I have tried to keep the text understandable.Some chapters have pen drawings, but for a number I could not think of appropriate illustrations and they consist of just text. All are relatively short, easily read in an evening. Some feature bugs, blister beetles, fleas and lice or other microorganisms that might affect the eye or the tissues around it. Other chapters play away from the U.S., such as Saudi-Arabia, Grenada and Komodo Island.

In a vast world of mainstream and alternative health approaches, how do we practice the best medicine for Earth and her inhabitants? Does the scientific method, developed in the 17th century, provide relevant and effective knowledge for us in the 21st century? Do so-called objective, scientific experiments really lead to us to the full truth about health and life? Perhaps there's another science, a higher order science, that integrates spirit, mind, body, Earth, and all of Nature in a more authentic and truthful way. Given the challenges Mother Earth faces now, it's high time for a superior science that provides healing wisdom for humans as well as our sacred planet as we transition to the Fifth World.In Fifth World Medicine: The Science of Healing People and Their Planet, Dr. John Hughes beckons us to explore how we know what we know about a friend, a pet, a tree, or any being in Nature. Dr. Hughes advocates for a return to Aristotle's ultimate, contemplative science in place of the draconian 17th century science that still governs much of modern medicine today. Dr. Hughes argues that by practicing contemplative science and medicine in place of the archaic scientific method, we shall discover greater truths about ourselves and our Mother Earth. Through this contemplative science, we also find an intimacy with Nature and the Creator, the kind of intimacy that characterizes that of traditional Indigenous peoples as well as the medicine and culture of the Fifth World.

The three red poppies on the cover of Among the Red Poppies in the Sand reflect the three generations of Jews familiar to and understood by the author: grandparents who came from the Diaspora and the Holocaust; their children who toiled in the fields and who raised their children in the free and democratic state of Israel, as well as those across the United States; and their children, who now constitute the contemporary Israeli military, along those memorialized in cemeteries around the world. Not only is the Israeli desert environmentally hostile, but there is military contention between two major cultures that are, tragically, socially and economically dichotomous. Among the Red Poppies in the Sand expresses the hope that the fourth generation will live in peace and mutual respect.

There is nothing more powerful than the Word of God. These images are to bring more enlightenment to your understanding of the Word of God. This book will help you to be more familiar with the Bible, to understand the Scriptures better, and to see what God is really saying through these stories. It is to help build your faith because the word of God says in Romans 10:17; "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."Not all who hear will respond. Hearing and believing produce new life; hearing and refusing produce death. The problem is not with the message or the messenger but with the hearer. Do hear the Word of God and be blessed.This story is to let you see exactly how God operates through his holy Scriptures. You see, the Word of God is our Salvation, our Anchor, our Rock, our Strong Tower. According to John 8:32, "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." God loves us dearly, but he wants us to walk in obedience to him so that the enemy cannot have a free course in our lives.
