Aging for Beginners by Ezra Bayda Pdf

We all grow old. This book teaches us how to take advantage of a new phase of life: a phase of renewal and inner exploration. We’re all beginners when it comes to aging. And although the fact that we are in new territory can certainly contribute to the difficulties in dealing with getting older, it can also have a very positive side. Aging can be seen as a new phase of our life: a phase of renewal. Nowhere is this more evident than in our opportunity to devote more time to reflection and inner exploration. The result, regardless of whatever physical limitations we may be experiencing, is the possibility of cultivating and living increasingly from kindness and gratitude—two of the essential qualities of a life of satisfaction and equanimity. With techniques that are both simple and richly unfolded, this book will help readers: • learn the subtle art of being with pain • uncover the fears that amplify suffering • tap into the true sources of meaningfulness and joy

Help for the Hurting Family by Larry E. Banta M.D. Pdf

Families are the foundation of our culture and an integral part of our churches, but they face attacks from the world, the flesh, and Satan. Larry E. Banta, M.D., an experienced psychiatrist subspecialized in child and adolescent psychiatry, explores how to build a strong family in a chaotic world. He answers questions such as: Why is building a strong family an essential component of the Christian experience? How can we structure and maintain a family that will withstand the pressures of life and come out strong? Why should ministry to the family be one of the main activities of the local church? Often, parents are unable to fulfill the purpose of a family, or do not know how to build a strong family. This leaves children unable to secure a firm identity and self-concept. They often don’t see the purpose of leaving home and being on their own, taking on the adult responsibilities of family and a job. Learn to build the family on the strong foundation of the Word of God and take on family challenges that the church sometimes misses with the wisdom in Help for the Hurting Family.

Suffer Less in Death by Vincent Dodd Pdf

Death is a clear-cut objective moment, but the process of dying and the choices we make for our own death and others is a wholly different subject. Not becoming educated on your ability to influence your dying process is leaving that potentially long helpless period to fate. Raw and informative, this book explores the truth and asserts your right to knowledge and your right to say “No” to medical procedures that ultimately only prolong suffering once imminent and inevitable death arrives. What can be done to decrease unnecessary suffering before inevitable death? This suffering is almost always influenced by a fear or lack of acceptance of death. For the most part, the healthcare field cannot stop this pain and suffering because of influences beyond its control, unless you know how to protect yourself. Ultimately, it is up to the patient or their medical guardian to ensure a peaceful and dignified death. It is obvious Vincent cares deeply about your awareness, knowledge, and choices, as well as your control of your body and your own health care. He cares to see your unnecessary fears of this often dark and taboo subject alleviated. His professional and personal caring perspectives come from 21 years of bedside emergency and intensive care nursing in teaching hospitals, followed by 14 more years of advocating for both the dying and the living to pilot their own health care. He takes a look at an otherwise bitterly-avoided subject that we all must face and turns it into a highly informative, easy, and, at times, even a funny read. There is a sweet icing on this normally hard-to-stomach cake known as dying and death: he also has some great input on how not only to stay alive, but to feel more alive.

Baby Boomer Lamentations by Lewis Tagliaferre Pdf

Today there are approximately seventy-six million Americans who were born in the years from 1946 to 1965the baby boomers. In their youth they thrived, voting for a number of entitlements based on assumptions of economic growth that no longer applies. Now, as baby boomers continue aging, they must face a number of potentially disheartening realities. From caring for ailing parents to funding their retirement to facing death, many issues weigh too heavily upon the minds of the baby boomer generation to allow for a peaceful, productive second half of life. Whats more, many of the spiritual belief systems passed down for so many generations no longer provide the comfort or support people need in order to face the challenges of the later half of life. The people need something new. In this second edition of Baby Boomer Lamentations, author and self-proclaimed religious philosopher Lewis Tagliaferre explores the concept of Theofatalism and addresses the rising spiritual concerns of the baby boomers, offering a new outlook to help readers make the inevitable transitions through the later years of life.
