Summary of Wendy Suzuki & Billie Fitzpatrick's Healthy Brain, Happy Life
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had wanted to be a Broadway star, but I was expected to pursue a serious career. I was fascinated by the process of biological dissection, and I wanted to know what was inside a human body. #2 I was a serious and dedicated student in high school, and I didn’t have the time or energy to be both a science geek and a Broadway fan. I was painfully shy, and never went on a date in high school. #3 I was accepted to the University of California, Berkeley, and I was thrilled. I quickly packed my bags and was ready to start my new adventure. I fell in love with the campus and the town, and I knew that it was the right school for me. #4 The brain is the most complex structure known to humankind. It is the structure that defines how we see, feel, taste, smell, and hear the world around us. It defines our personalities and allows us to go from crying to laughing in a blink of an eye.

Rising from the Ashes
This is a true and incredible story of a Japanese adolescent, Shinji Mikamo, who miraculously survived the first atomic bombing of human kinds. He was on top of his house roof with nothing to shield him at only 3/4 of a mile (1,200m) from the epicenter in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 toward the end of the World War II. But what made Shinji stand out from most of the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or even of many other man-made disasters in our history, he never hated Americans as aggressors. He somehow saw things from a much bigger perspective even in the very strict Japanese military government's mind control of civilians during the war. As one of his three legacy-carrying daughters, Dr. Akiko Mikamo wrote his story to send out the messages of human love and power of forgiveness to remind the world our worst enemies of yesterday could become the best friends of tomorrow.
Journey Through Trauma
As a therapist, Gretchen Schmelzer has watched far too many people quit during treatment for trauma recovery. They find it too difficult or frightening, or they decide that it's just too late for them. Schmelzer wrote Journey Through Trauma specifically for survivors to help them understand the terrain of the healing process and stay on the path. She begins by laying out three important assumptions that support a survivor's healing: that it is possible, that it requires courage and that it cannot be done alone. Traumas that happen more than once - child abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, gang violence, war - are all relational traumas. They are traumas that happen inside a relationship ...
Ministry Among God’s Queer Folk, Second Edition
This practical pastoral care handbook, written by two self-described queer people of faith, covers the basic skills that religious caregivers and ministry students need in order to be effective, enlightened, and supportive pastoral care providers to LGBTQ persons in congregational and other community settings. Authors Schlager and Kundtz distinguish pastoral care from pastoral counseling: while the latter is reserved for those with special training in the practice of therapy, the former can be developed by ministers and lay people with sufficient education and practice. This book requires of the reader no previous experience with LGBTQ communities and treats the following topics: the definition and functions of pastoral care; effective care in challenging times; coming out of the closet; creating communities of care; and caring for a wide variety of LGBTQ relationships. The authors provide case studies throughout the book to ground and illustrate their theology of pastoral care.
