A Case for Faith Sharing Ancient Secrets for Longer Life, Health and Happiness
Author: Mark Mellow, MD
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1685264417
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
In his book, Dr. Mellow, a physician and clinical researcher, makes the case for faith, religiosity, and spirituality as important practices providing significant physical and mental health benefits. In reviewing the extensive medical literature, he concludes that faith and spiritual practices have significant positive effects on the incidence of the most common physical illnesses (heart disease, hypertension, many cancers, and most importantly, on overall mortality) as well as mental illnesses (depression, anxiety, addiction, and suicide). Given the record levels of diseases of despair in America today, especially in our younger generations, the health benefits of faith and spirituality should be of considerable interest to all of us. Dr. Mellow reviews the emerging medical literature on the effects of the major faith teachings, that of compassion, on our body’s functioning at the basic cellular level. Compassionate practices result in positive changes in our gene function, decreasing the activity of the harmful inflammatory disease-causing genes, and decreasing the rate of aging of the cells in our body. There have always been reasons for the dislike or distrust of established faiths. Throughout history, many major atrocities have been committed in the name of religion, as they have at the hands of atheistic regimes. Sadly, that is human behavior. However, while one can find fault with some faith leaders and practitioners, faith teachings are difficult to fault. Given the health and societal benefits, Dr. Mellow presents information on how one might choose a faith community best suited for you and your family.

Author: Margaret Cornell
Publisher: BalboaPress

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Set in a small village in Cambridgeshire, Margaret recounts her dramatic conversion in 1970, which led to her heart and her home being open to sixty-five people in forty-five years. Led by God, Margaret and her husband, Tony, moved from three to six and then ten bedrooms to accommodate their growing family. Their Liquorice Allsort residents added great richness to their lives. During their early Christian life, their son was killed in a road accident which, far from crushing their faith, made them stronger than ever, and their witness resulted in a small revival in their Anglican church. Eventually, in 1982 they made room in their hearts for many more people when, controversially side by side, they pioneered and pastored a lively and successful Charismatic church for twenty-five years .It was prophesied that they would be like two Shire horses pulling a plough. Margaret clearly heard God speak and direct her to minister to others and to trust God for everything from her own clothing to buying houses. As a result, she is very keen to teach others how to hear God for themselves. It has always been Margarets aim to love God and love people, whatever the cost.
