Christianity & Bioethics
It's difficult to see a family member suffer, yet is it right to take actions to relieve that suffering which might hasten their death? Is human cloning something we should allow to happen? Should doctors be allowed to assist patients who choose to die rather than continue to live in pain or with a disease? As medical technology improves, the challenges to your ethical and religious convictions will certainly increase. Sooner or later, you will find yourself making medical choices that have faith implications. This book will help you begin the process of determining what you believe God would want you to do in the face of these challenging situations. This is a must read book!
Prelude to Philosophy
Unlike a full introduction to philosophy, Mark Foreman's book is a prelude to the subject, a prolegomenon that dispels misunderstandings and explains the rationale for engaging in philosophical reasoning. Concise and straightforward, Prelude to Philosophy is a guide for those looking to embark on the "examined life."
How Do We Know?
Epistemology, the study of knowledge, can often seem like a daunting subject. In this brief introduction, James Dew and Mark Foreman guide students through the important discipline of epistemology. By asking basic questions and using clear, jargon-free language, they provide an entry into some of the most important issues in contemporary philosophy.
Christianity and Modern Medicine: Foundations for Bioethics
Raises and considers common issues, cutting through the moral fog in medical science Christianity and Modern Medicine raises moral questions that were merely hypothetical just decades ago. Moreover, traditional moral models are incessantly challenged by the medical community at large, shifting the conversation to patient and societal rights within a framework of moral relativism and rendering the decision-making process morally vague and confusing. In Christianity and Modern Medicine, bioethicist Mark Wesley Foreman and attorney Lindsay C. Leonard delve into the major ethical issues facing today's medical professionals with the purpose of providing principles and guidelines for making critic...

Wholly Jesus: His surprising approach to wholeness and why it matters today
In compelling fashion, Wholly Jesus clarifies the foundational (and frequently misinterpreted) meaning of Jesus' offer of salvation and heaven: that to follow Him is to find wholeness in body, mind and spirit. The clarification has huge implications for the effectiveness of today's Christian church and subsequently for the redemption of lives and cultures.
Living Through the Tension
The dissertation first surveys the ongoing debate on the place of religious reasons in supporting or opposing public policies, delineating three basic positions on the question and exploring the views of representatives of each position. It then moves to an analysis of Meilaender's conception of Christian ethics which informs his position on the question of religion and public policy. Two salient themes emerge in this analysis: tension and limits. These two themes play an important role in the third part of the dissertation which explicates Meilaender's specific position on the place of religious reasons in supporting or opposing public policies. Meilaender's position is further illuminated through considering some of his publications and his work with government-sponsored bioethics commissions. The last part of the dissertation evaluates Meilaender's position by placing him in conversation with others from a variety of perspectives on this question and closes with some final comments on Meilaender's view. I conclude that his position is both consistent with his conception of Christian ethics and that it is respectful and tolerant of the views of others.
Never Say No
The question Mark and Jan Foreman are most often asked is: How did you raise your kids? Never Say No takes you on a personal journey to learn first-hand how they raised Jon and Tim of Switchfoot. They share practical advice for instilling wonder in a media-saturated culture, cultivating specific gifts, and balancing structure with individual choice. Our purpose as parents is the same as our child’s: to live creatively beyond ourselves, bringing the love, beauty and nature of God to this world. Let the adventure begin.

Mark Forman's Great Race
Gr 1-3 Foreman gives new dimension to the term 'funny car' in this headlong, world-spanning rally. A vast assortment of imaginary wheeled vehicles appears, including not just common hot rods but a host of wildly customized entrants as well. Taking a variety of shapes from fish and fast food to a big rubber ducky, they roar off in a cloud of exhaust, up and down mountains, through desert and jungle, past pyramids and the Great Wall of China, across an ocean, to a final spectacular, double-foldout crash just in front of the finish line. Out of the wreckage rolls a tiny puppy on a skateboard, the race's surprise winner. Young viewers will enthusiastically turn back to previous scenes, either to play 'spot the puppy' (who has been there all along), or just to laugh at all the crazy paint jobs, bizarre body work, and comic mishaps. The busy but uncluttered cartoon art takes center stage; the text is just a jingle, one line per page, ending with a Briticism that will throw American readers: 'The race is over, who has won?/The crowd are (sic) cheering a new Number One.' Race-car enthusiasts and casual browsers will linger over this confection. John Peters, New York Public Library-
