The HIV diagnosis tore open the deepest secret of Bob Blackford’s life. He had a wife, two children, and a full-time Christian ministry. But he lived in two worlds. He knew that his hidden life was unacceptable to himself, to others, and to God. The sexual brokenness that troubled him as a youth, now tortured him as an adult. And it found expression through homosexual relationships. 
Heaven’s Back Row is Bob Blackford's miraculous story of hope and healing. No hiding place could keep Bob from God’s love and mercy. God delivered him from deep-rooted sin, repeated failure, and certain death.

Spirit of Hope Publishing announces the release of it’s newest book BORN LOSERS OR LEADERS? A Positive Spiritual Perspective on ADD by author Jerry Seiden, M.A. The book brings a new perspective to the topic of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD or ADHD). Author Jerry Seiden, a pastoral counselor and prolific writer, seeks to lift attitudes about ADD to a more positive and spiritual place. He believes that the negative labels and perceptions about ADD damage the children and adults who are diagnosed with the condition.  Jerry Seiden admits that BORN LOSERS OR LEADERS? has an attitude and an edge. Still, the book is full of basic information, clinical insights, and historical perspectives into ADD. Seiden notes the work of Daniel Amen, M.D. (author of Healing ADD) and the immense medical contributions by David E. Comings, M.D. and The City of Hope Hospital (see www.HopePress.com). The book builds upon current concepts, but goes far beyond the “disorder” paradigm. The main body of the material explores the “differences” possessed by those labeled ADD. The author describes the many positive traits that experts have long noted in those with ADD (e.g. intelligent, creative, intuitive, resourceful, flexible, change agents, and willing to risk). Then Seiden goes all the way back to the Greek philosopher Plato and his famous written work The Republic (from the 4th century B.C.). The author describes the slice of society that Plato suggested were the true leaders (philosopher-kings)—Plato called them Guardians. Seiden compares the many traits of ADD with the characteristics of Plato’s Guardians. He suggests that perhaps the design of creation allowed for an unique difference in the real leaders—those like ADDers who are abstract, sensitive, artistic, spiritual, and mystical. The book describes the author’s personal struggles and spiritual discoveries about ADD. It is also full of many inspirational stories and uplifting perspectives that will encourage and enlighten any reader. But most important, the book gives readers practical ways to move from the “loser-label” and low-self esteem to a new attitude and appreciation for the “ADD-difference.”

Spiritually-minded people--whatever stripe--find a safe & shame-free resource in these pages. The book is available as a paperback, audioBook, and eBook. It s agony for me in church was the complaint of an adult with attention deficit disorder (ADD/adhd) in one of many true stories found in the new book ADD/adhd, Christianity, & the Church (Spirit of Hope Publishing). Co-authors Jonathan Scott Halverstadt, M.S. LMFT and Pastor Jerry Seiden ask, Do ADDers force a fit and fake it even when it comes to their faith? According to the authors, the ADD children and adults they counsel face a host of hardships in their relationship to and participate at church or in their community of faith. They say that many Christian ADDers try to pass for normal as they fellowship and worship with other believers. Why? The core symptoms of ADD can challenge their ability to pay attention to the sermon, dismiss daydreams, battle boredom, restrain restlessness, stay seated, imped impatience impulses, and even get to church on time. The book by Halverstadt and Seiden goes beyond the classic symptoms of ADD. Co-author Jonathan Scott Halverstadt, LMFT introduces all six of the sub-types of ADD from the work of Daniel G. Amen, M.D., a pioneer in the use of nuclear medicine and SPECT* scans to study ADD. Halverstadt worked with Dr. Amen as a clinical associate in the Amen Clinic for Behavioral Medicine in Fairfield, California, and Dr. Amen provided one of two forewords for the book. Stories from the lives of real people help readers understand how the disorder affects people within the various subtypes. According to the authors, it is vital that people understand that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) is only one of six subtypes. So, readers learn the subtleties and the unique suffering related to Classic ADHD, Inattentive ADD, Over-Focused ADD, Explosive ADD, Depressive ADD, and Ring of Fire ADD. Among the materials on each subtypes, readers learn which regions of the brain are affected and how they appear on SPECT scans. Important to any ADD discussion, yet separate from Dr. Amen s subtypes, is a chapter on ADD with Tics. Pastoral Counselor and coauthor Jerry Seiden, M.A., who has written eight books on ADD for himself and others, provides basic information about Tourettes Syndrome (TS). Seiden says, TS is part of the ADD package for about 30% of us ADDers, and I happen to one of them. The chapter s is a mix of good information from experts and personal reflections by Pastor Seiden, who shares how TS has brought him hardships and taught him humility.
