Life-Support Books

I purchased this book and it was in the quality the seller indicated and my husband and I loved the book.

I love all of Robert Witlow's books and this one was excellent!

Robert Whitlow's second in this series of two books, Life Support and Life Everlasting,grabbed this reader's attention in such a way that I completed the book in one day. The story was captivating and the spiritual message throughout the book was inspiring. I will be looking for more books like this one.

This book was truly awesome. In the first book Life Support, I enjoyed the story and the characters. This book was so riveting I could not put it down. I stayed up late every night because I never found a spot slow enough to put it down. Now I'm catching up on my sleep. The characters and story have stayed with me and I look forward to finding more gems from Robert Whitlow.

Whitlow is a master at peeling back the secrets and layers of Southern settings and characters. After one of his best books, "Life Support," I was thrilled to see a sequel. To be honest, though, I wasn't sure what material he had to work with. Others may disagree, but I loved the open-ended conclusion of "Life Support."

Once again, we are pulled into the psychotic world of Rena, a woman living with guilts and secrets. She begins seeing mysterious visions, and unwinds before our eyes. Whitlow portrays her with perfection. Along the way, Alex, her lawyer, begins to look for ways to disengage herself from this nightmarish client, while also looking for ways to build a deeper relationship with Ted Morgan, a Christian music minister. Their relationship goes through ups and downs, but they are drawn closer as the troubles of Rena's past loom larger.

The ending provides some satisfying emotional moments, even if a few of the mystery aspects are wrapped up a bit quickly. Although the book didn't hold the same sway over me as the first in the Santee Series, it's definitely a must for Whitlow fans.

As a nursing student I loved this book. It gave a great perspective on some areas of nursing that nursing students may not be exposed to during clinicals. Toward the end of the book it did get into nursing/hospital politics and policy, which slowed things down. I wish that the author had ended with something better and more inspiring.

It's often said that in today's society we have no heroes. If you read this book, you will soon learn otherwise.

I really liked the aspects of this books that dealt with the three nurses performing their jobs in their perspective fields. That was great- but all the talk about nursing jobs getting cut really gets boring after a while. So much so I've been dreading reading the last chapter. Great book, just has some boring parts.

A must read for all those working IN or WITH the profession of nursing. Gordon discusses how the changes in our health care system have affected both the nurses role and quality patient care issues. The essential need for collaboration of all health care personnel is woven throughout the content. I required this book for a senior nursing course I just taught at Wayne State University in Detroit and the students were most impressed with the book and its approach to nursing, medicine and health care. A must read for nurses, physicians, hospital administration, potential students and the general public. Afterall, we are all potential patients and we should be aware of what is happening to the largest population of health care providers, the nurses!

The most under rated people in our society are nurses,this is an introduction to the ever present caregivers in healthcare today.The most varied role and most significant in all aspects of health care is the nurse.This was a wonderful read for all of those who may ever be the receiver of any aspect of their care from nurses in our country, basically everyone,a must have.For those considering the profession as a career,and the family members who would like an overview of "all in a days work", this will invoke serious thought.Yes, I am a nurse and for me to recommend a book written on nursing....kudos to all involved in the creation.

Each of Bean's short reflections is down-to-earth and inspirational. A great choice for a busy Mom with just a moment to gain fresh perspective in quiet reflection. Definitely recommend!

Written by homeschooler and mother of eight Danielle Bean, Mom to Mom, Day to Day: Advice & Support for Catholic Living is a repository of wisdom especially for Catholic women and mothers. Danielle Bean is author of the popular daily blog [...]. and when her readers send her questions about motherhood, family, and general living advice, she provides answers grounded in her day-to-day life experience. Mom to Mom, Day to Day is a deeply spiritual book, blending equal parts of practical family members and reverence for the divine. "We humans cling to the false notion that ultimately we are in control of our lives. Finding ourselves unexpectedly pregnant reminds us of the uncomfortable truth: We are not in charge. Sometimes the hardest words in the world to pray and to really mean are 'They will be done.' We fear God's will might not match our own. We forget that when God sends us a new challenge, he also sends us the graces we need to handle it." Especially recommended as a giftbook for recent Catholic brides.

Danielle's second book is written especially for younger moms who are overwhelmed and still trying to figure out how to work out a lot of the details of smoothly running their homes (and lives). These moms tend to feel guilty for not "having it all together" and wonder how older, more experienced moms with more kids ever manage their large brood and complex family life. I know I felt that way when I was a younger mom and I would have very much appreciated the gentle wisdom contained in this book.

I found this book "light", but inspiring; helpful, but not preachy. Her writing deserves to be called wise, because she manages something that so few parenting/advice books do - she draws out practical truths that really do apply to everyone and then gives examples of how she applies them to her own family.

The book is organized into six main sections (that are divided into smaller essays):

How Can I Survive the Preschool Years Without Losing My Mind?

How Can I Fill My Marriage with More of `The Better' and Less of `The Worse'?

What Kind of Role Does a Catholic Mom Play in This Great Big World?

How Can I Get on Top of the Housework When It Feels Like I'm Smothering Under It?

How Can I Make Our Faith an Integral Part of Family Life?

Can I Really Have a Spiritual Life While Caring for All These Little People?

She tops it off with a simple, but helpful resource guide for Catholic families.

If you don't know Danielle Bean's writing, you might not know what to expect from a book with the subtitle, "Advice and Support for Catholic Living."

You might pick it up thinking, "Who is this woman to give me advice? Has she lived so long and so perfectly that she can dish up the goods on my life when she doesn't even know me?"

Then, you might open it, and read Danielle's preface, and find out that she is the kind of woman to pick up an advice book (you know the kind I mean: one with a rigid prescription for how to eat, drink, live, marry, parent, sleep, breathe and forego sugar) and think:

(from the preface):
"Who does this woman think she is? I find myself furiously thinking as I flip to the back cover to read the author's bio. Is her family really so perfect? Doesn't her husband ever leave his balled-up, smelly socks on the bedroom floor and she snaps at him about it? Don't her kids ever argue about who's looking at whom and who got the last cookie last time and who got it the time before that and ...."

And, you might next think, "Hey! I love her! She's just like me!"

And, you'd be right (unless you're the author of the aforementioned book that initially raised Danielle's ire, in which case, I don't even want to know you.)

Which is why you'll love this book and this author. She's so very real. I want her to live next door to me and come over for lots and lots of coffee while we ignore our children and catch up with each other. Because once in awhile, that's what real mothers do.

What's in this book? Let me start by telling you what's not in it.

Danielle Bean will not advise you to rise every morning at four a.m. in order to squeeze in that bit of extra prayer time that you need (but, she does have excellent advice on prayer and lovely prayers at the end of each section.) She will not try to convince you that you can whip up gourmet meals six nights out of seven without breaking a sweat (but, she does know how meal planning can keep you sane.) She will not tell you how to create the perfect craft, such as carving bath toys out of soap, thus saving money and mess (but she will offer twelve months' worth of real ideas for observing the liturgical calendar with your kids.)

In other words, what Danielle Bean will give you is a bunch of truths. Truths about how the little things can pile up and make even the best of moms yell at little people (but she'll remind you that you're not alone) ; about how marriage takes work (but is still the best thing we humans have got going) ; about how boring it can sometimes be to stay home (and yet how ultimately fulfilling and holy it is.) She will talk to you, as if you were having lots and lots of coffee together, about how to get the upper hand on the housework, how to live your faith with your kids, and about how prayer time really works at her house.

Because this is what Danielle Bean is about: striving for the very-real sacred in the midst of the very-real everyday. It's all connected: the yelling, the commitment, the smelly socks, the prayers, the boredom, the faith, the toilet-scrubbing, the journey to heaven. We moms don't get to travel a pristine path to holiness. Ours is peppered with dirty diapers, cranky kids, blown fuses and fishsticks. It's a path that evokes an "Eeewww!" from many. It's not pretty. And yet, it is the most exquisitely beautiful thing in the world.

Danielle Bean has seen that paradox, as genuine and strange as The Event it mirrors. Motherhood is a kind of crucifixion, a dying to self. From suffering and death come Resurrection. And from the struggles of motherhood joy, beauty and new life emerge.

That's what Danielle Bean knows, and it's what she'll tell you in this book: That it's hard. That there are ideas that will help you. Here they are. Take them and use them. And, along the way, let your vocation transform you.

This isn't "advice." This is friendship of the very best sort. Because that's what moms do. Mom to mom, we take care of each other.

Let this book take care of you for awhile.

I really wanted to like this book.

I was looking for ways to bring the Catholic faith into our home, how to be a better Catholic mother and wife - with the emphasis on "Catholic."

I was disappointed that much of this book is just sensible, non-denominational advice even secular mothers could benefit from. Not that the advice, stories and reflections weren't good, but they weren't always centered around being Catholic. Most often they were centered around Motherhood as a whole.

If you want a book written by a wonderful Catholic mom about the general challenges of parenting and being a good wife, this is a great book. But if you are looking for something more, well, religious in nature, as I was, this may not be the right choice for you.

"Stepping Out of the Bubble : Reflections On the Pilgrimage of Counseling Therapy by James P. Krehbiel is an amazing and outstanding book that provides help and direction to the many people that are suffering from problems described in this book.

I was amazed at how many of the problems and challenges, that the author writes about, are problems and challenges I have seen many people suffer with.

The counseling theory and practice information in this book provides a direction for people that have a problem and are willing to go to counseling and risk moving forward in their journey toward finding personal growth and development, and eventually stepping out of the bubble.

Many people have problems and challenges that they never seek help for and they and their loved ones continue to suffer. This book goes a long way in bringing the thought of counseling to people and helping people to better understand the counseling process.

To author James P. Krehbiel thank you for writing your great book. I am convinced your book will help many people and because of your book many more people will step out of the bubble. I recommend this book very highly and also feel it would be a great college text.

After reading Stepping Out of the Bubble a year ago, I went back and read it again for a second time. I was able to pick up even more information this time around that helped me understand and overcome some of my own internal conflicts. This is a book you can read at any point in your life and always find information that pertains to that particular moment. Krehbiel has a way of explaining things that others may consider unexplainable. Whether you are a student, a teacher, or just a guy like me, this book can and will change your life.

For me, "Stepping Out Of The Bubble" was reminiscent of the renowned books of author, M. Scott Peck, in the style of presenting profound insights into sensible, easy-to-understand language and clear ideas an average person can relate to. Practicing Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Cognitive-Behavioral Therapist and author of "Stepping Out Of The Bubble", James Krehbiel proficiently shares a portion of his expertise, condensing great weight into accessible and workable solutions for a more fulfilling life's plan.

The "bubble" represents our security and comfort zone, but it is also the inner place where we store the pain of our past experiences and the unpleasant reality of that not being made conscious which keeps us bound in unhealthy and self-defeating patterns. Staying within this bubble limits our emotional responsiveness as we numb ourselves to the coexistence even as unresolved issues unconsciously filter forth. To step outside of the bubble is to courageously examine the contents in all honesty and to face life's reality outside of the bubble. Once outside the bubble, one can move forward to experience life in more emotional depth, fullness and passion. "Being a fully functioning individual is about being true to whom you are and letting things be the way they are," explains author, James Krehbiel.

With brilliant and compassionate understanding, Mr. Krehbiel briefly details methods used and pertinent case examples within his therapy practice. "Self-regulation is a goal of therapy. I educate people in the fact that all the answers are ultimately within." "Stepping Out Of The Bubble" strives to do the same, by giving information on how we become trapped in the bubble and how beneficial the making of conscious choices to leave, can be.

Some of the many topics included within this book are: being assertive, characteristics of an "authentic" person, the integration of each of our different personality parts, the difference between true guilt and false guilt, setting boundaries, addictions and addictions to "manic" relationships, awareness (staying in the moment or mindfulness), grounding, honoring one's inner voice, panic attacks, OCD and mood disorders. The section regarding kids and parenting was exceptional, in my opinion, and I found many points about discipline that made much sense. Also appreciated was the section relating to religion (dogma) versus faith (spiritual) as well as what needed to be said about pop culture.

I enjoyed reading "Stepping Out Of The Bubble" and would recommend it to anyone. It is enriching and inspirational.

James P. Krehbiel's Stepping Out of the Bubble was a fascinating read. I found myself underlining various passages. His explanation of how we get stuck in the bubble (comfort zone), and how we find our way out is powerful. It provided me with hope as I move through my own personal journey. I found myself experiencing an emotional reaction to many of the case examples and concepts he explored. He definitely hit some "hot buttons" in my life. But Mr. Krehbiel also provided specific guidelines and tools for stepping out of the bubble. At one point he says, "Courage can be defined by those who live outside the bubble as opposed to those who live in it. I like to compare stepping out of the bubble to wading into the water."

His chapter which includes ideas on multidimensional thinking is appropriate in today's political climate. He indicates that true dialogue takes into consideration the appreciation for differences in opinions. He makes some profound statements about pop culture's affect on the lives of today's children. He also gives parents tools and resources for assisting their children in bettering their behavior. The book ends with a resounding "yes" to life with a hopeful, powerful way of perceiving and reframing life's problems. This was an excellent book!

Stepping Out Of The Bubble by James P. Krehbiel, Is an outstanding book on Counseling Therapy. Krehbiel, is able to put life patterns and fears into perspective so that the lay person can fully understand the mystery that most think is behind counseling. His approach to show that so much of what we seek answers for is within ourselves and with the right counsellor we can become free and step out of the Bubble or Bubbles that a lot of us are in.

This book should be a gift to every teen and their parents, no home should be without it.

The concept of raising my own support is very scary; this book really gave me some practical advice and encouragement to get started.

the book gives great advice in all aspects of support raising. i find it very helpful.

If you are raising support or are getting ready to. This book is a must have. My wife and I have recently got this book and it is revolutionaling the way we view support raising. It not only goes into the biblical and theological purposes for raising support but also gives practical how to dos on raising support. This book has changed how me and my wife do it and I know it will change yours. Spend the 8 bucks and make a very worth while investment that will benifit you the rest of your life! God Bless and go reach the world!

I was recommended to read this, (borrowed it from a friend) to assist in my support-raising ... not even halfway through, i have already seen the truths of what she talks about, many of the points she makes are ones that I have had to learn already. Very much recommended for anyone starting out who needs some good advice or encouragement.
I have bought my own copy of the book and plan to take it with me on the mission field for its reminders of God's promises, support-raising tips, and uplifting stories that confirm my own experiences.
Get a copy for your church, yourself or any friends who rely on God's use of other people to supply for ministry expenses.

Thanks to Betty Barnett for her excellent book on personal support raising. Her emphasis on trusting God and building relationships with donors is right on. When raising support, it is all about sharing your vision and life, and Betty helps us understand how to do both. Thanks Betty!

As a minister in the house hold of God.I know couples of people going through what the author had personally experienced.She came out strong from depression, loving herself, and then able to love people around her through prayers and the power of her determination.

I recommend this book to everyone that would love to see this world a better place for all to live.I'm looking forward to have the author invited for a talk with the people going through depression in my community.

Great work!Patiently waiting for her next book.Please keep me informed when it is out.

On the Periphery of Death

I read Ta'Wand's book without knowing what it was about beforehand. As i read each page I was struck by the storyline and the common thread revealed in each persons life. There is a loneliness and indeed helplessness that and how we can realate to it. There is a loneliness and indeed helplessness that can come from our modern day lives. Ta'Wand has found words to express those feelings.

I won't discuss the specifics so as not to spoil the story for others.
But I will say this book is an easy read and many, as I have done, will re-read the book more than once.

I only hope she writes a second. I would buy that in an instant.

AFTER READING THIS BOOK...WE KNEW WE HAD TO HAVE THE AUTHOR ON OUR SHOW THE RANDALL REPORT.
THE BOOK TAKES YOU INTO A WORLD OF A WOMEN FINDING HERSELF AND DEPENDING ONLY ON HER SELF TO MAKE CHANGE IN HER LIFE.

THEN ON TOP OF THAT....HER STORY OF SURVIVAL COMING FROM HER OWN MOUTH.......HAD LISTNERS OF THE RANDALL REPORT IN AWE. MORE THAN A HALF A MILLION PEOPLE DOWNLOADED THE SHOW. THAT SHOWS YOU THE POWER OF PASSION FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN.

GOD BLESS THE CHILD WHO HAS GOT HIS OWN.

[...].
BRJ / THE RANDALL REPORT

Ta'Wand Allen opens up her heart to others sharing her story about depression and suicide. This book is a must read for anyone who has been depressed and knows others who have battled with suicidal thoughts. As a matter of fact this book is for everyone.

None of us got an owners manual for our brains or emotions. The information here can help anyone live a much more fulfilling life and raise their self worth.

She conquers a subject that has such a stigma with plenty of resources to empower oneself. Her commitment to help others is heartwarming.

I highly recommend you read this book and share it with love ones and friends.

Dr. Mike Shapiro

Dear Author,

After reading this book I will never be the same. About two years ago, I begin to have depressing thoughts. I would try to block them out, but I soon begin to notice that almost anything I perceived as negative would trigger them.

I was in an abusive relationship that left me with low self-esteem. I had heard of depression, but never in a million years thought I would experience it. My family has no history of mental illness.

To make a long story short. I credit this book with giving me a new outlook on life. As I read some of the passages, I felt as if you were talkign directly to me. There is such a negative stigma attached to depression in this country that I was really afraid to get help. I was wondering what others would say about me..

Reading your powerful story gave me the courage to get help. I am in therapy now, and for once in my life I feel optimistic about my future. I thought noone understood what I was going thru, and then I got a copy of your book. Finally, an easy to read book that is written by an everyday person (like me) who's sole desire is to change one person's life by sharing your powerful personal story of overcoming depression.

It is with tears in my eyes that I write this review and say THANK YOU!THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Everyone needs to read this book-really they do..

Don't put this book on a book shelf...it should be on the cordenza within easy reach of every executive director, board member, missionary, pastor or fund raiser. Bill Dillon has made his 30 year expertise in fund raising available to everyone. This is a must have for any person who is raising funds (and developing friends) for a worthy cause.

This book is primarily written for missionaries raising support but as a church planter it proved to be a useful resource as well. I didn't really use it the way it was designed - as a small group resource with discussion questions. But I did read through it and sometimes stop to think through the questions at the end of each chapter. In the overwhelming process of raising support, this was a very helpful and encouraging guide.

Fundraising for most missionaries, especially new ones, is often a daunting and even scary task. Next to confidence in God's call to serve in missions and faith in God's provision for this call, this book provided me with the tools to get through two missions works. In clear and brief chapters, the book biblically defends the practice of fundraising and then lays out a clear path for fundraising that anyone can follow. Fundraising is still hard, and will challenge your faith in ways that few other things will, but the advice and plan laid out in this book will successfully guide you through the process. May God use this book to bless you in your missions endeavor .

For missionaries that are responsible for raising their own support, this book is a must. Regardless if you are new to mission work and new to support raising or a veteran missionary with a continuing need to raise support; this book has definite and practical guidelines and tips that anyone will understand. The text not only brings the Biblical basis for raising support and deputation to light, but also illustrates how to train yourself.

The design of the book shows you, in example format, real life scenarios and encourages study within a self-paced atmosphere. Because of its design, many people can come together and use the group study portion of the book, which allows for discussions and other interaction. The examples are clear and in step-by-step format. It even shows you how to write letters and word them to be more effective.

I highly recommend this book to any and all missionaries interested in gathering financial or prayer support. Fund and support raising is not something I was excited about until after I finished this book. I was so pleased with People Raising, I recommended it to several of my close missionary friends who are in need of financial support.

Thanks to Bill Dillon, his book, his videos for training thousands of missionaries to take the gospel all over the world. He has done the kingdom a great service. His book is very practical and easy to use. I have read every word of it. Thanks Bill.

Every woman need to know this "life skill" that they don't teach you at school. Practical & easy to understand.

This is an amazing book that gives information on things most people would not think of. It is also entertaining and every woman should own a copy!

This book prepares you for those emotional, financial, legal, and wise decisions any woman going through a divorce should know. How to protect your income, child support, family court, visitation, dating and more!

Don't get caught without it. Let you ex know you mean business. Things your mother never told you are here explained simply and in good humor. Enjoy it; I did.

Christina Rowe's book is a must to everybody who considers to divorce, who is about to divorce, is in the middle of the process or even who has already taken the step to divorce.

The Seven Secrets of Successful Divorce offers more than practical advice how to manage the different and usually painful situations and issues of the divorcing process. It is a book that helps you to be your own therapist when confronting the pain and feelings of disappointment, frustration, unsuccess, bitterness and uncertainty. It helps you to look forward into the future and prevent getting stuck in details. Also it helps you to observe and take different aspects into consideration, aspects that you would easily miss in the midst of your crisis.

Christina Rowe's book is practical, encouraging and healing. I can truly recommend it to everybody to whom divorce is of concern.

The Winning Helix: The Art of Learning and Manifesting Your True Potential

I found this book to be very informative. Any woman who is thinking about asking her husband for a divorce should read this book. I like how clear, detailed instructions are given on how to protect yourself financially while going through a divorce. I would also highly recommend this book if you are going through a tough divorce or have just gotten out of a bad marriage.

Lessons Of The Turtle: Living Right Side Up by Steve Goodier (founder and publisher of the e-zine 'Your Life Support System) is an engaging and spiritual parable about a turtle who gets turned on his back. Unable to right himself, he fears he is going to die... yet this is his one chance to truly reexamine his life and how to open oneself to change, hope, and an uplifting future. Goodier articulately expounds on the turtle's dilemma to everyday life and how human beings can open themselves to new and better things. Lessons Of The Turtle is a gentle, memorable, insightful story, metaphor, and self-help book for readers of all ages.

This is a wonderfully helpful book that enables you to organize your time and your life in quick, simple,practical steps. I like it, its useful no matter what life changes you might want to make. It inspired me to keep moving on to the next level to achieve my goals, and I will be able to use it over and over again for the rest of my life.

This was one wonderful book. If you take your upsets in your life and see the blessings derived from them, you will not be as discouraged during your time of trial. I really appreciated this book during a time when it was speaking directly to my need. I shared this book with my neighbor and she said the same thing. You will be very inspired by this reading. It is worth buying more than one to give as a gift too.

Throughout the last ten years, I've read many self help and inspirational books plus have listened to countless tapes and CDs on the same subject. But somehow, this little book sums it all up in a nutshell. In other words, a quick, easy read! After all, who has the time these days to read a 500 page tome or listen to tapes for 30+ days on how to think positively? Not only that, the author has presented the valuable lessons of a rewarding life in a most delightful way. The parable begins with a little turtle who stumbles one day and ends up on his shell facing life upside down. Although, in his eyes his fate appears to be doomed, he soon learns to see things from another perspective at this new angle. He see things he never saw before -- treetops, clouds, butterflies, mountains, etc. During the time he is in this uncomfortable situation, however, he gains an abundance of knowledge and insight about what is most important in life. Situations he took for granted and accepted as truth in the past are now seen in a new and more positive light. I LOVED the story and highly recommend it for young and old alike. No need to buy tons of self help books any longer ---this one says it all. I bought a copy for my 25 year old son for Christmas and plan to buy more as gifts for family and friends this year.

Written by a long-recognized contributor to the military community whose tireless labor has included serving as a founding director of CFB Petawawa's Military Family Resource Centre, My Love, My Life: An Inside Look At The Lives Of Those Who Love And Support Our Military Men And Women is a special tribute to military spouses worldwide that deals with the heartbreak of separation and the fear of losing one's loved ones forever to their terrifying yet necessary duty. Filled with anecdotes of military spouses and family members in their own words, My Love, My Life is emotional, meaningful, and a highly recommended experience and giftbook that offers a unique picture to those unfamiliar with the life challenges of a military spouse, and cameraderie to those who understand such challenges all to well.

I had read Dianne Collier's previous book about the challenges and joys of being a military wife "Hurry Up and Wait", but she has definitely reached a new level of understanding with this latest title by interviewing military wives from other services besides her own Canadian one. She admits she has taken criticism for focussing only on wives instead of all spouses, but I believe she is being true and authentic to her own experience--which is considerable--and should be commended for adding My Love, My Life to the existing literature on the military life. Now more than at any other time in our history, it's important to acknowledge and understand those who keep the home fires burning. Collier has definitely done that!

After finishing My Love, My Life, I feel compelled to spread the word re: the good work Dianne is doing for the military community. When I say community I am not only refering to the military members, but their families as well.

It explores the stuggles and accomplishments of those supporting the men and women of the Canadian Forces.

Dianne has created a much needed system of support for family members of CF personnel.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is or has been affiliated with the Canadian Forces, or even if you are curious about our "way of life".

To Dianne - I thank you whole-heartly!
Keep up the good work.
