"This book deserves exceptional praise. It presents, in a highly readable form, the cutting edge of sound, scientifically based knowledge in an area traditionally beset by myth, quackery, and pseudoscience." —Peter G.

<ul>
<li>How to create a family medical tree</li>
<li>How to use that information to create a diet tailored to your personal needs</li>
</ul>Included are specific guidelines and nutrition plans for a variety of special needs: heart disease • hypertension • obesity • alcoholism diabetes • cancer • food allergies A solid blend of scientific information with sound, practical advice makes The Healing Diet an invaluable tool for anyone interested in eating right, feeling good, and living longer.

What does it look like to authentically live out one's pro-life convictions? Surely it's more than politics and protests. The author asks herself some hard questions: If I truly believe children are precious; if I truly believe God is the author of life and has purpose for every single person; then what are the implications for me as a woman? As a wife? As a mother? This is the story of one woman's personal journey in marriage and motherhood. Though she and her husband never planned to have a large family, they now have 9 children, the youngest of whom has special needs. From admittedly being a self-centered young bride to becoming the mother of many, she traces her story with raw honesty, gentle grace, and a touch of humor. She shares the meanings behind the unique names of her children along with her growing awareness of what it means to truly be pro-life. From the joy of childbirth to the agony of loss, she examines her emotions candidly in light of Scripture and her relationship with Jesus.In the midst of a cultural battle for the unborn, this soul-searching testimony stands as a treatise not only for the value of life itself, but also for the grace and power God gives in the midst of uncertainty.

How do you move forward after you receive an unexpected diagnosis for your baby? How do you deal with the devastation and chaos? Most importantly, how do you prepare for the range of possibilities you now face? From Diagnosis to Delivery is a compassionate, invaluable tool for parents who are facing a life-limiting diagnosis for their unborn child. Beverly’s own journey through the diagnosis of Trisomy 18 for her daughter Verity gives her a unique perspective into the heartache, challenges, grief, and joy surrounding the pregnancy, delivery, and often (but not always) loss of these rare and beautiful children. Beverly gently encourages advocacy for parents who need to have their voices heard as they navigate a pregnancy with a child they are often told is “incompatible with life.”\nFrom Diagnosis to Delivery helps parents navigate everything on this journey, from receiving the initial diagnosis, finding a medical team that supports the wishes of the parent, advocating after delivery, facing loss, and providing for a medically fragile child. Beverly writes in a conversational tone, putting invaluable information and tools into the hands of the parents who love their children unconditionally.

Professionals & Academics

Medical practitioners are key actors in many well-known works of fiction and literature, presenting a vital insight into the social, medical, scientific and ethical concerns of their authors and readers. However, medical professionals are often left little time to explore such cultural perceptions of their profession, and by extension themselves, despite the extent to which the views of their patients and society have been - and still are - shaped by them. Doctors in Fiction explores and analyzes representations of medical practitioners in fiction, encompassing classic and contemporary literature, popular fiction, and authors from many nations and traditions. These include among others: Albert Camus A* Anton Checkhov A* Robertson Davies A* Graham Greene A* George Eliot A* Ian McEwan A* F. Scott Fitzgerald A* Jaroroslav Hasek A* Henrik Ibsen A* John Irving A* Patrick O'Brien A* Boris Pasternak A* Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn This book will be of interest to those with an interest in the medical humanities, and to students of cultural history and literature. It will also be of particular interest to medical practitioners of all kinds who enjoy literature and wish to understand and reflect upon wider perceptions of their profession.
