End-of-Life Books

This book gives information in an easy-to-read format about issues none of us really want to discuss. It's very necessary to make the plans discussed in this book.

Joe Green is known to most as an outstanding British scientist who played a key role in our understanding of the role of vitamins in human health. His passion for literature is manifold - his encyclopedic book on detective fiction is available in many reference libraries to the connoisseurs of this genre. But we think that Joe will be ultimately remembered as the author of the definitive works on the life of Jews in London between the wars. This minority played an important role in the formation of the modern British culture and society in general. Joe was an integral part of it and his superb command of the history and the English language makes this book not only full of interesting facts but a truly captive reading beyond those of typical history books. His autobiographical approach makes you laugh and cry as you race through the pages. The price of this hardcover book is high but you will be keeping it on your bedside for many years as great fun to read.

This book so inspired and encouraged me to know that the God of the Bible is still the same yesterday, today and forever. He still performs miracles for those who will put thier trust in him. This book was great and I recommend it highly!

Staying in Charge is an invaluable asset to anyone's library, whether beginning to contemplate their own eventual care or having to consider another's care. The topic of advanced and end-of-life care is not one we naturally gravitate toward for pleasure reading, but this is a positive, easily read book that can be accessed as needed. There are ample resources for help and information. Better to be aware, than rudely surprised.

I have been familiar with this subject since the sixties and read more than a just a few books concerning THESE times. Glenn Guest has covered many details that has never crossed my mind. This easy to read book certainly got my attention and Steps Towards the Mark of the Beast opened my understanding to the degree to where that I am better prepared to face THESE oncoming days that are here at our door. It is a terrible shame that Pastors across the land are so focused on prosperity that - due to their lust and greed - the blinded masses are about to be caught unaware and will unknowingly participate in the denying of the true Jesus Christ. Thank you, Pastor Glenn Guest, for being obedient to what the Lord has led you to do. I am praying and believing that you will continue to follow Him.

An insightful, readable exploration of human life as that of spirits clothed in a material body and living temporarily on earth.

Foreword

An English professor told his college class: "Learn to write. It builds vocabulary, develops thoughts, and so opens up communication with others."

Immediately a student asked: "What should we write about?"

"Anything at all," said the professor. "It's not what you write, but how you say it. Every person has at least one original story--the story of himself. We are all individuals, so each story is unique."

This is a marvelous part of human experience: we are each unduplicated, no two ever the same; and along with this fact is the less obvious but larger reality that a human being never ends. These two certainties express the meaning of personal life.

Scientists have taught that matter is indestructible; it changes frequently in form and function but never ceases to exist. God teaches that the human spirit, the soul to which matter relates itself, is forever; every soul, from the moment it enters the world as an individual, continues eternally to live.

It is imperative and wonderful to know that although physical equipment weakens and slows down, the spiritual self can keep right on growing and learning, developing and refining its immortal personality that began with being born.

This little book is about us--you and me and everyone. In discussing our inner lives, the feelings and thoughts which control all our outward activities, it tells a story without a plot but with a profound meaning: that individual build-ups of love and understanding are a person--and the person is forever.

This, then, is a story which never ends.

The author lives with a chronic illness and explains the emotional and spiritual struggles that, as Christians, we encounter when we are diagnosed with an illness. The best book by far that answers the basic questions such as Why must we suffer? and What about healing? Simple yet provocative reading for the seeker, new Christian or the lifetime Christian.

Wiegand's perspective is unique and makes this book a true gem: he is a licensed minister, Christian counselor and has lived since childhood with a chronic illness.

An excerpt worth noting:
It doesn't matter is individuals were recently diagnosed and are now struggling to
understand the illness and its limitations, or if they have had the condition of their entire lives; chronic illness changes their perception of who they are. As the truth of their chronic illness gradually begins to dawn on them, they begin to question their identity.

It doesn't matter if God instantly heals them or, if they have to live with their illness for the rest of their lives, they will never be the same. Once someone has been touched by unrelenting pain and the uncertainty of tomorrow, his/her life changes forever. After living in the shadow of death, even if only for a little while, it causes them, like Jesus, to be transformed into 'a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering. (Is. 53:3) (p. 74).

"If I could mail every person who contacts us a gift, it would be Struck Down. My copy is nearly highlighted in every color of ink from all of the times I've sat down and red it again. It's a must read!"

"Down these mean streets a man must go," wrote Raymond Chandler on the subject of the detective novel. Few knew he was paying tribute to another writer, now almost forgotten, who wrote about the mean streets of London's Docks around 1900. In TALES OF MEAN STREETS, CHILD OF THE JAGO, and THE HOLE IN THE WALL, Arthur Morrison wrote about the world into which he was born. (Interestingly, he also wrote some great detective novels at the same time that Doyle was writing his Sherlock Holmes stories.)

Some of the stories in TALES OF MEAN STREETS seem sentimental today: There is no lurid sex, the cursing is subject to the "code" of Queen Victoria's day, and much of the violence takes place off stage. If you accept the givens of that day, you will enjoy Morrison; and you will see how the American detective novel and the film noir owe far more to Morrison than to Conan Doyle or anyone else. Morrison deserved to be remembered and honored.

This is one of Tim Lafays best books that I have read. It is about 4 kids after the rapture that come to know christ and try and get others to follow him.

This book was great and I truly loved it! God's message is just so clear in these books, and I just want to soak it all in. But now that I've finished off 31 and 32, one thing really bothers me, when are the next pair coming out!!?? Always truthful, and always suspenseful, go out and read these books!
