You simply cannot swallow a poison pill and hope the other person dies! Anger. Bitterness. Resentment. Pain. They are poison to the body, mind and soul. The antedote? Forgiveness. Forgiveness is so important that our very lives depend on it. Churches teach us that we should forgive, but how do you actually learn to forgive? In this spiritual workbook noted author, psychologist, and ordained minister Dr. Dick Tibbits takes you step-by-step through an eight-week forgiveness format that is easy to understand and follow. His clinically proven concepts are a practical way of dealing with life s hurts and disappointments. The power of forgiveness is that when you forgive someone else, you cleanse your own life of bitterness, which can and does poison the soul. That is the beauty of forgiveness; it blesses you when you receive it and again when you offer it to others. You could say it is the gift that keeps on giving. You are about to begin your forgiveness journey a journey that will change your life forever. Forgiveness can be tough work, but if you keep at it, you will be able to forgive. And you will have help. Remember God has promised: My grace is sufficient for you (2 Corinthians 12:9)

Today we are in a healthcare crisis. All around the industrialized world people are struggling with declining health. From childhood obesity to the multiple health-related needs and concerns of an aging population, millions need help understanding, managing, or even reversing their maladies. Hospitals are essential of course, but most are set up for episodic care, not long-term disease management or continuous health improvement. So healthcare organizations, civic leaders, church leaders, and philanthropic groups wonder what can be done to help. In this timely publication, authors Stephanie Lind of Florida Hospital and Dr. Susan Chase of the University of Central Florida share important insights and ideas based on a three-year pilot project involving Faith Community Nurses. Conducted in five Central Florida churches, the pilot sought to help congregations establish or grow an existing health ministry team. The work was accomplished through a partnership between Florida Hospital and the Winter Park Health Foundation. In these pages you’ll discover the project goals, the methodology and processes used, and how others can take what was learned and do something similar—or better. The project described in this report was one among many of Florida Hospital’s ongoing efforts to help people understand how practicing the fundamentals of whole-person health aids in the prevention of disease and in recovery following an illness. I believe the authors have done a remarkable job of demonstrating how hospitals, churches, and Faith Community Nurses can positively affect the health of entire communities, playing a part in transforming our healthcare crisis into a health caring opportunity.

Growing Physician Leaders: Empowering Doctors to Improve Our Healthcare

Can a general teach America's doctors to be better leaders? Hospitals, clinics, and healthcare organizations across the nation are wondering, "Can we transform healthcare by improving physician leadership? And if so, how?" Healthcare today faces both daunting challenges and exciting new possibilities. Physicians hold the key to improving healthcare, but while they enjoy exceptional training in the science of medicine, the vast majority of doctors have received little training in even the basics of leadership. In Growing Physician Leaders, retired Army Lieutenant General Mark Hertling applies his four decades of military leadership to the world of healthcare, resulting in a profoundly constructive and practical book with the power to reshape and reenergize any healthcare organization in America today. Designed to help physicians master the art of leading people, it takes them, step-by-step, through a proven process that can help anyone become a more effective leader. Growing Physician Leaders gives doctors a potent tool to improve their personal health, their professional health, their organizational health, and ultimately, our nation's health.
