Called for Life
“Kent, bud. We got your test result. And I’m really sorry to tell you that it is positive for Ebola.” Dr. Kent and Amber Brantly moved with their children to war-torn Liberia in the fall of 2013 to provide medical care for people in great need—to help replace hopelessness with hope. When, less than a year later, Kent contracted the deadly Ebola virus, hope became what he and Amber needed too. When Kent received the diagnosis, he was already alone and in quarantine in the Brantly home in Liberia. Amber and the children had left just days earlier on a trip to the United States. Kent’s personal battle against the horrific Ebola began, and as thousands of people worldwide prayed for his life, a miraculous series of events unfolded. Called for Life tells the riveting inside story of Kent and Amber’s call to serve their neighbors, as well as Kent’s fight for life with Ebola and Amber’s’ struggle to support him from half-a-world away. Most significantly, Called for Life reminds us of the risk, the honor, and the joy to be known when God and others are served without reservation.

Isus
Dumnezeul care-ti cunoaste numele Isus. Probabil ca ai auzit de El. Poate chiar ai studiat despre El sau te-ai si rugat Lui. Dar nu ti s-a intamplat sa simti ca Isus nu are cum sa stie prin ce treci tu zi cu zi? Timp de treizeci si trei de ani, Isus a simtit ceea ce simtim si noi de multe ori. Slabiciune. Oboseala. Tristete. Respingere. Picioare ostenite. Dureri de cap. A fost ispitit si puterea I-a fost testata. Pare irelevant sa ne gandim la Isus dintr-o astfel de perspectiva, nu-i asa? Este mult mai simplu sa lasam umanitatea in afara intruparii. Insa doar atunci cand Ii permitem sa patrunda in noroiul lumii noastre, Isus ne poate scoate din el. Devenind om, El a facut posibila relatia no...
Nu te ingrijora
Nu va ingrijorati de nimic, ci, in orice lucru, prin mijlocire si rugaciune, cu multumire, faceti cunoscute cererile voastre inaintea lui Dumnezeu. Iar pacea lui Dumnezeu, care depaseste orice intelegere, va va pazi inimile si gandurile in Cristos Isus. Ingrijorarea refuza sa stea in aceeasi inima cu recunostinta. Un „multumesc“ din toata inima va lasa ingrijorarea fara suflare. Am fost invatati ca viata de crestin este o viata plina de pace si, atunci cand nu avem pace, presupunem ca problema este la noi. Nu numai ca ne ingrijoram, dar ne si simtim vinovati din cauza aceasta. In consecinta, intram intr-un cerc vicios din care nu putem iesi si ne intrebam daca mesajul Scripturii: „Nu v...

Inferno is his account of the epidemic that nearly consumed a nation, as well as its deeper origins. Hatch returned with the aid organization International Medical Corps to help establish an Ebola Treatment Unit. Alongside a devoted staff of expats and Liberians in a hastily constructed facility nestled into the jungle, Hatch witnessed the unit's physic...

Plague
On July 22, 2009, a special meeting was held with twenty-four leading scientists at the National Institutes of Health to discuss early findings that a newly discovered retrovirus was linked to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), prostate cancer, lymphoma, and eventually neurodevelopmental disorders in children. When Dr. Judy Mikovits finished her presentation the room was silent for a moment, then one of the scientists said, “Oh my God!” The resulting investigation would be like no other in science. For Dr. Mikovits, a twenty-year veteran of the National Cancer Institute, this was the midpoint of a five-year journey that would start with the founding of the Whittemore-Peterson Institute for ...

Global Epidemics, Local Implications
How fear and stigma affected the lives of African immigrants during the global Ebola epidemic—and the resilient ways in which immigrant communities responded. In December 2013, a series of Ebola infections in Meliandou, Guinea, set off a chain of events culminating in the world's largest Ebola epidemic. Concerns about the virus in the United States reached a peak when Thomas Duncan, a Liberian national visiting family in Dallas, became the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola and die of the disease on US soil. In Global Epidemics, Local Implications, Kevin J. A. Thomas highlights the complex ways in which disease outbreaks that begin in one part of the world affect the lives of immigrants in another. Drawing on information from a community survey, participant observations, government documents, and newspapers, Thomas examines how African immigrants were negatively affected by public backlash and their agency and resilience in responding to the consequences of epidemic. Ultimately, this book shows how these responses underscore the importance of immigrant resources for developing public health interventions.
