Download or read book Don't Medicate Your Faith written by Dr. Shannon B. Johnson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have we medicated our faith? Have we replaced our faith in God with quick fixes? When we are sick, do we reach for the medicine only? Or do we also reach toward heaven to the One who made us? There has been a consistent increase in the amount of medications Americans are consuming over the past decades, and the numbers continue to increase. If faith increased at the rate that the intake of prescription drugs increased, miracles would become the norm, and healing would be an everyday occurrence. When Jesus was on the earth, faith in His ability to heal, out measured medications. Now we have more medicines than we have faith. The scales have tipped over. Jesus proposed this question to the disciples. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? It seems that the worlds faith in God continues to diminish instead of growing. When the Lord returns to the earth, I pray that He will find faith in the earth. The Lord is not against His children seeking the help of physicians and medicines, but He also wants His children to seek His help and Dont medicate your faith!
Book Synopsis Don't Medicate-Educate! by : Ilana Slaff
Download or read book Don't Medicate-Educate! written by Ilana Slaff and published by Ilana Slaff Medical Pllc. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Slaff writes about her personal and professional involvement in autism. She discusses her identical twin brothers' and daughter's life-threatening behaviors-one requiring surgery-and how her brothers' different residential placements have made them so different. She discusses the controversy of aversive skin shock, a research-based treatment that saved her brother's life. She describes the dangers of psychotropic medications, particularly for individuals with developmental disabilities, and how her brothers experienced devastating side effects. She examines how medication is frequently substituted for behavioral educational interventions. She talks about termination of services after individuals turn twenty-one. She writes about her own experiences treating individuals with developmental disabilities. She discusses her advocacy with school districts and other government officials and what must be done to improve services. She makes recommendations to parents to identify and obtain the treatments their loved ones need. Excerpts from Don't Medicate-Educate! Many individuals are not receiving the educational therapies they need, including applied behavior analysis, so their behaviors are not under control. Many end up needing residential placements and chemical and physical restraints just so no one gets hurt. The chemical restraints, as shown in my brothers' experiences, do not always work to stop the danger. One of the reasons for the system's reliance on chemical restraints is risk aversion: if a patient displays dangerous aggression or suffers a self-injury when behavioral therapies are not available, the doctor can be sued for malpractice for not prescribing medication or other treatment.The first four chapters discuss my personal experiences with my family members who have autism and the struggles to obtain effective treatment. The book discusses how one brother has been doing well with effective treatment, while his twin has done poorly. It also discusses effective treatment for my daughter.To determine if a treatment is effective or dangerous requires research. In chapter 5, I discuss published research on positive-behavior treatments, aversives, and psychotropic medications used to treat individuals with autism or other developmental disabilities. The discussion includes specific risks to individuals with autism and developmental disabilities in general. I also discuss what is actually being implemented in real-life settings and advocating for evidence-based treatment. Recommendations to improve access to effective interventions are discussed in chapter 6. In the appendix, I have included a history of evidence-based treatments utilized in autism to familiarize readers to topics discussed throughout this book. FROM KIRKUS REVIEWIn Slaff's debut book, a psychiatric chronicle that straddles the genres of memoir, case study, and position paper, readers learn the story of one woman's struggle to care for family members with autism. They also discover what that effort has taught her about medicine, politics, education, risk, and the necessity "to seek my own answers and not blindly follow others." After this affecting opening, in which the doctor and sister whom readers have come to admire sees her "nightmares of having a child with autism" come true, the book becomes a detailed support manual for people undergoing the same trials and a thoroughly researched testimonial to the effectiveness of aversive therapy. The lucid work also delivers a short, useful history of the ways that therapy has been misused (as a treatment for homosexuality) and mischaracterized (in reports by Geraldo Rivera and Connie Chung). "People do not choose to have autism or any other disability, but we can choose to love and take care of them," the author reminds readers. She proves herself a fine exemplar of this care and love in this engrossing and persuasive work.

Download or read book I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die written by Sarah J. Robinson and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
Book Synopsis Bipolar Faith by : Monica A. Coleman
Download or read book Bipolar Faith written by Monica A. Coleman and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overcome with mental anguish, Monica A. Coleman's great-grandfather had his two young sons pull the chair out from beneath him when he hanged himself. That noose remained tied to a rafter in the shed, where it hung above the heads of his eight children who played there for years to come. As it had for generations before her, a heaviness hung over Monica throughout her young life. As an adult, this rising star in the academy saw career successes often fueled by the modulated highs of undiagnosed Bipolar II Disorder, as she hid deep depression that even her doctors skimmed past in disbelief. Serendipitous encounters with Black intellectuals like Henry Louis Gates Jr., Angela Davis, and Renita Weems were countered by long nights of stark loneliness. Only as Coleman began to face her illness was she able to live honestly and faithfully in the world. And in the process, she discovered a new and liberating vision of God. Written in crackling prose, Monica's spiritual autobiography examines her long dance with trauma, depression, and the threat of death in light of the legacies of slavery, war, sharecropping, poverty, and alcoholism that masked her family history of mental illness for generations.

Book Synopsis Jesus Outside the Lines by : Scott Sauls
Download or read book Jesus Outside the Lines written by Scott Sauls and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether the issue of the day on Twitter, Facebook, or cable news is our sexuality, political divides, or the perceived conflict between faith and science, today’s media pushes each one of us into a frustrating clash between two opposing sides. Polarizing, us-against-them discussions divide us and distract us from thinking clearly and communicating lovingly with others. Scott Sauls, like many of us, is weary of the bickering and is seeking a way of truth and beauty through the conflicts. Jesus Outside the Lines presents Jesus as this way. Scott shows us how the words and actions of Jesus reveal a response that does not perpetuate the destructive fray. Jesus offers us a way forward—away from harshness, caricatures, and stereotypes. In Jesus Outside the Lines, you will experience a fresh perspective of Jesus, who will not (and should not) fit into the sides.

Book excerpt: “To prepare yourself to make difficult medical decisions in a distinctly Christian way, you won’t do better than to read Between Life and Death.” —Tim Challies Modern medical advances save countless lives. But for all their merits, sophisticated technologies have created a daunting new challenge, namely a blurring of the expanse between life and death. The dying process is often hidden behind a complex web of medical terminology, statistics, and ethical decisions, making it difficult for patients and loved ones to know how to approach the end of life in a dignity-affirming, Godhonoring, faith-filled way. This book offers a distinctly Christian guide to end-of-life care. It equips readers by explaining common medical jargon, exploring biblical principles that connect to common medical situations, and offering guidance for making critical decisions. In these pages, readers will find the medical knowledge and scriptural wisdom they need to navigate this painful and confusing process with clarity, peace, and discernment.

Book Synopsis Miracles : 2 Volumes by : Craig S. Keener
Download or read book Miracles : 2 Volumes written by Craig S. Keener and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 1459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity Today 2013 Book Award Winner Winner of The Foundation for Pentecostal Scholarship's 2012 Award of Excellence 2011 Book of the Year, Christianbook.com's Academic Blog Most modern prejudice against biblical miracle reports depends on David Hume's argument that uniform human experience precluded miracles. Yet current research shows that human experience is far from uniform. In fact, hundreds of millions of people today claim to have experienced miracles. New Testament scholar Craig Keener argues that it is time to rethink Hume's argument in light of the contemporary evidence available to us. This wide-ranging and meticulously researched two-volume study presents the most thorough current defense of the credibility of the miracle reports in the Gospels and Acts. Drawing on claims from a range of global cultures and taking a multidisciplinary approach to the topic, Keener suggests that many miracle accounts throughout history and from contemporary times are best explained as genuine divine acts, lending credence to the biblical miracle reports.

Download or read book Love & Death written by Forrest Church and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearing his final days, a beloved Unitarian minister meditates on life, love, and death: “The goal is to live in such a way that our lives will prove worth dying for.” On a February day in 2008, Forrest Church sent a letter to the members of his congregation, informing them that he had terminal cancer; his life would now be measured in months, not years. He went on to promise that he would sum up his thoughts on the topics that had been so pervasive in his work—love and death—in a final book. Church has been justly celebrated as a writer of American history, but his works of spiritual guidance have been especially valued for their insight and inspiration. As a minister, Church defined religion as "our human response to the dual reality of being alive and having to die." The goal of life, he tells us "is to live in such a way that our lives will prove worth dying for." Love & Death is imbued with ideas and exemplars for achieving that goal, and the stories he offers—all drawn from his own experiences and from the lives of his friends, family, and parishioners—are both engrossing and enlightening. Forrest Church's final work may be his most lasting gift to his readers.
