Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER Dr. Andrew Furey, an orthopedic surgeon, was sitting by the fireplace at his home in St John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, watching TV after work, when dreadful images of the aftermath of an earthquake in Haiti burst in on the cosy domestic scene. Human suffering on an epic scale was being documented in real time. Dr. Furey spent a sleepless night, and woke knowing he had to help in some way. In what has been a theme throughout Newfoundland and Labrador's history, he found himself answering the call. Dr. Furey formed a team of three--himself; his wife and pediatric emergency room physician, Dr. Allison Furey; and orthopedic surgeon Will Moores--and together they travelled from to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where they spent a week volunteering. The challenge seemed overwhelming: a multitude of badly injured victims, horrendous working conditions and overstretched aid agencies. But somehow the trio did not lose hope. Instead, they redoubled their efforts. After returning from that first mission, Dr. Furey founded Team Broken Earth--an expert, unbureaucratic, fleet-footed volunteer task force of physicians, nurses and physiotherapists committed to providing aid in Haiti. The organization has continued to grow, recruiting volunteers from all over Canada. It has carried out many more missions to Port-au-Prince and has expanded its operations to other countries like Bangladesh, Guatemala, Ethiopia and Nicaragua. And its mission has expanded in other ways, with education and training for local medical professionals now at the heart of its endeavour. Dr. Andrew Furey tells the story of Team Broken Earth's founding and remarkable work with vivid immediacy and raw honesty. He shares his doubts and failures and moments of near-despair. He explores how his Newfoundland and Labrador upbringing has informed his efforts abroad. And he reaches an optimistic conclusion that will leave readers inspired to bring about positive change in their own lives.

"Marsha Gullo Frerichs (1954-2008) was a native of State College, Pennsylvania, who believed in living life to the fullest. This passion exhibited itself not only in her love for her family but also through her interactions with others and her love for poetry. She was inspired by Carol Welsh's doctoral dissertation "Writing in Colors" which served as the catalyst for the present book of poems in which she records her feelings as she travels the bumpy road of breast cancer treatments. Never one to feel sorry for herself, Marsha found solace in her writings and a joy in sharing with others The Power of Hope. Her dream, cut short by an aggressive cancer, was to use her writings as a comfort and inspiration to others"--Back cover.

Book Description
My Children I Hope is a book that has been in process ever since the spring of 1977...and continues in process. "Hope deferred (put off to a later time; postponed) maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life." ""Proverbs 13:12 The front cover design, of a vine bearing grapes, depicts the success of an intervention. When you compare the same vine, of the book cover's backside, the wild and overgrown vine had been unattended for years. The process of literally drying up is at stake. After twenty-one years the author, Daniel Brian Simmons, witnesses his own personal experience of God's intervention and rescue to save his life, from the destruction and temptations, this present life, had offered him. The vine speaks of a lineage, that now has hope, but requires unwavering faith and perseverance in God to see our generation through, with real love. The written word will outlive us. What better inheritance can we leave behind? The author in this book has used a pencil and paper throughout the decades, to remedy the lack of a close friend. Inspiration came to mind; he believes by faith in God. Writing poems satisfies and succors each present situation. It leaves a sense of integrity and dignity: a worthwhileness to keep his present life clean and in order before God and others. Shall not the truth be conveyed from now on, whether by you or me and hopefully by those we leave behind? "As for me, this is my covenant (agreement) with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and forever."
