Book Description
Imagine having to pay attention to every step as you run a race so you don't trip and fall. Imagine wondering when the blisters and burning in your feet will start. Imagine standing at the starting line of a race and wondering if you will have enough energy to finish the race. Author Christine Wodke does not have to imagine. As an athlete with Charcot-Marie Tooth Disorder, she faces these challenges every time she lines up to compete in marathons and triathlons. Charcot-Maire-Tooth Disorder, or CMT, affects 1 in 2,500 Americans or 155,000 people across the nation. It is the biggest disease no one has ever heard of. When Wodke was diagnosed with CMT in 2010, she realized she was lucky to be running and doing triathlons at all. Patients with CMT were once told to go home and rest. It was thought exercise would accelerate the condition. It didn't seem right to Chris Wodke that no one have ever heard of a disease affecting so many Americans. She set the goal of running the Boston Marathon and other high-profile events to change public awareness and perception of CMT. This is the story of her journey.

Book Description
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 Description
In the last few decades, Western medicine has seen incredible advances in technology to treat the sick. That's the good news. The bad news is that with the demands on their time, falling reimbursements from the government, improved medications, and restrictions imposed by insurance carriers, doctors often depend more on computers than on their own instincts and experience in caring for their patients. As a neurologist who deals daily with crippling and sometimes fatal conditions, Dr. Bhupendra Khatri has become increasingly aware of the mind-body connection and the incredible power of the subconscious to heal, postpone death, and deal with unspeakable circumstances. The many stories in Healing the Soul: Unexpected Stories of Courage, Hope, and the Power of Mind describe the lessons the author has learned from his patients, as well as current research about the resiliency of the human spirit. Within these pages are stories of courage, inexplicable medical miracles, and disappointing transactions with intractable insurance companies. Dr. Khatri has been encouraged many healthcare providers, journalists, and patients to share these stories, as well as his research into issues he raises in the book, in hopes of inspiring patients and their families and shedding light on little-known contradictions in the U.S. healthcare system.

Book Description
When Linda Crabtree was growing up in a small Canadian city in the early '40s, the future for a little kid with a disability didn't look too promising. Seventy-five years later she writes about her forays into education, journalism, running a charity, publishing, art, antiques, designing a house and her travels. The emotional undercurrents of love, the question of children, marriage, alcoholism, divorce, marriage again and great loss are explored. And then there's her love of dogs. It has been a roller-coaster of a ride and this passionate, entrepreneurial woman has kept plugging away all the while dealing with an inherited neuromuscular condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, named after three doctors, that has slowly progressed over the years to take away her ability to walk and is now robbing her of the use of her hands. The recipient of 28 awards, medals and honours, Linda is proud to be a Member of the Order of Canada and the Order of Ontario and has been in Canada's Who's Who for the past 20 years. Find out why. Excerpt: " ...With $15 for paper and envelopes and a few postage stamps, I typed letters to editors of all of the newspapers in Canada, telling them that I had a rare disease with a strange name, knew no one else with it, and was looking for information and people to share our concerns and triumphs. My letters were published in newspapers across the country and within a few weeks I had received so many letters from people also diagnosed with CMT, or suspecting they had it, and wanting information that I knew I was onto something. My curiosity was piqued. How many people with CMT were out there? Now I had a real challenge. How many could I find? I went back to the library and photocopied all the addresses for the newspapers in the United States. Those letters went out and, before I knew it, I had more than 350 replies from people all wanting to know more. Trouble was, I didn't have more to give them. We'd have to learn from each other. And there was no way I could type 350 individual letters in reply. I had to figure out a way to answer them all at the same time. Personal computers were a rare commodity at that time. The solution to my dilemma turned out to be a mass mailing and in the summer of 1984 the CMT Newsletter was born. It wasn't much - only eight pages, the columns typed, cut out and pasted down and then everything photocopied - but it was something."

Book Description
Competition talent shows have been among the most popular on television in the 21st century. The producers of these shows claim to give ordinary people extraordinary opportunities to change their lives by showcasing a specific skill leading to a new career trajectory. Most participants will claim that they entered to get a big break and to develop a career they have always dreamed of. To what extent do these shows deliver on such promises? Following through what happens to leading contestants in singing, entertainment, modelling, cooking and business entrepreneur competitions, this book shows that few go on to achieve lasting success in their chosen career. Many return to obscurity or to their previous lives. Some enjoy a low level career in the new direction delivered by the competition they entered. Just a few become truly successful. The pop and entertainment themed contests have discovered just a handful of major pop stars and entertainers out of many hundreds who have taken part after the initial auditions. Turning to the cookery or business franchises, there are few who go on to achieve lasting success in their chosen career. In these it is equally likely that the winners go on to enjoy success with media careers rather than as chefs or entrepreneurs. The most successful franchise of all is the fashion model competition (Next Top Model), which has yielded a high hit rate in terms of career success. What the analysis here also reveals is that it isn’t only the winners who ultimately benefit the most from their appearances in these shows. Moreover, television picks its own stars by recruiting contestants because they are telegenic or have a good backstory as much as for their relevant talents. In this way, a talent hungry medium has co-opted these franchises to replenish its own needs.
