This book lays out the simple truth--having any chemical imbalance that affects mood is no more "sinful" or shameful than having poor vision that requires glasses to correct. Helps us to get past the judgments we lay on each other--that if there were enough faith or a "real" conversion, then this kind of problem just would not be present.

Instead, in encouraging, scripturally-based writing, Dr Mullen brings correction and solutions to problems most believers want to deny are even present. Thank you, Dr Mullen!

The myths and misconceptions and guilt we had were corrected by this eye opening book. Thankfully, there is a source of information that taught us the reality of depression--that it isn't something you can just "get over"; it isn't just a "bad mood". But, also, that it isn't hopeless--there are answers out there. It is also comforting to know you are not the only family out there dealing with this. With more understanding from books such as this, there is hope that the embarrassment and stigma will disappear, and the healing will begin for many, many more.

I was in 7th grade in Aptos, CA when the Loma Prieta earthquake hit Northern California. I didn't remember a whole lot about that time, so I bought this book to refresh my memory.

This is a great book for anyone who loves Italian food. The low-fat recipes are delicious, use mostly common ingredients and are easy to make. The only illustrations are a small selection of photos in the middle.

The book starts out with a brief description of the ingredients and some suggested menus. Fat & calories are listed for each dish. Each recipe has a sidebar with severing suggestions, recipe variations, or background on the ingredients.

Recipes include appetizers, soups, breads, fresh pastas, sauces, polenta, salads, pizzas, desserts, and liqueurs. There are also many main dishes with vegetables, seafood, meat, and poultry.

Some of my favorite dishes include the spinach calzone, lemon risotto and chicken piccata. My friends loved the ricotta & basil tortellini. The chocolate and raisin biscotti served with coffee is also divine.

The testimonies of church leaders add impact to their methods, charts, and programs. Especially useful to me were suggestions for melding fund-raising activities and stewardship education throughout the year.

A thoughtful, yet disturbing chronicle of a 20 something. Sorting out what intimacy means and defining what might be the new reality. Dark, passionate and sensitive writing. You will not put it down until the surprising ending. .
