Dr. Tom Arno will tell you without reservation that Marcus Welby is an inaccurate portrayal of the American physicians demeanorgrossly inaccurate. Understandably, in the sixties, we wanted to think doctors were calm and self-assured, but Welby never showed himself emotionally. He was milquetoast-toast, a shoe salesman wearing a white coat. Ben Casey was considerably more believable if only because Vince Edwards, who played the title role, was intense and brooding, lending him an air of professional pique and borderline arrogance. Truth be told, ole Bens character is pretty close to the real thing with internship and residency when competition fierce and everyones jockeying for position with the higher-ups. Come to think of it, maybe Ben was cranky from fatigue, an occupational hazard, especially during training years. That is the truth, and I know because I lived through it. The American people need to be informed about the reality of medical school and beyond and how doctors are affected spiritually and physically, personally, and professionally. No one sails through it unscathed; no one is immune.

If you know my friend Eugene, you will recognize his heart and character in this work. His allegiance to Jesus is evident to everyone who knows him. And that deep loyalty is revealed in every thought, every word, and every chapter in this work. I dont know how long Eugene and I have been brothers. But I know that, for thirty years, he has been a source of encouragement, grace, and has a deeper commitment to Jesus for me. When Eugene writes that Jesus is his GPS that is more than a simple metaphor; it is the truth of his life. And it is the source of his amazing development into the man who lives beholding the glory of the Lord and being changed into his likeness (2 Corinthians 3:18 RSV). I am glad Eugene has written down his thoughts in this manuscript. And I encourage you to follow his words and his heart into the very presence of Jesus (Howard Bryan, preaching minister, Westside Church of Christ, El Paso, Texas).

Good Boy, Achilles!, a work of 128 pages, is based on the idea that, because we human beings are flawed and fouled-up, God has given dogs the task of helping us along. The story opens on a small farm somewhere in the Southeast, where a boy named Jeremy discovers that his familys dog, Ginger, has finally given birth to her long-awaited puppies. Ginger explains to her puppies that they must leave the farm for new homes where they will take care of their own humans, for that is the Fathers plan. Jeremys parents tell him that the family can afford only one dog, Ginger, and will have to give the puppies away. As the story progresses, however, Jeremy and his favorite puppy, Thunder, or, as Jeremy calls him, Achilles, become best friends, and Thunder comes to believe that he will remain on the farm as Jeremys dog. Will he? On the way to finding out, he and Jeremy learn some basic Christian theology and some important life lessons.

Her name is Edwina the Exquisite. (Her real name is Edwina Francis Small, but shh . . . she doesnt really like to talk about that.) Edwina the Exquisite is the story of a highfalutin fashion designer in eighteenth-century Europe, whose large hats and grandiose gowns are eclipsed only by her haughtiness and self-conceit. Having grown up as one of eleven children in a world of hand-me-downs and a room shared with ten siblings, Edwina strives to set herself apart in the newly emerging realm of fashion and consumerism sweeping across the Western world. Having reached the height of her career as the queens personal dress designer and setting the standard for all of English fashion, Edwina is completely caught off guard when the simple beauty of a flower from the hand of a mere peasant girl unearths everything she has come to know of true beauty. The course of her life is forever changed as one fateful flower stirs within her a desire to create something even half as lovely, only to find that her every effort falls short. For Edwina, what at first seems like failure turns out to be the greatest success of her life.

This collection of stories was woven and spun from the fabric of our familys childhood. As a bedtime ritual, John told our young children nightly stories with main characters of their choice. Our son always chose a rooster and our daughter chose a different item each night. Using these two topics, John would spontaneously create a fantasy story meant to spark imagination (and occasionally teach a lesson or moral; however, some were just plain silly and had us all laughing in stitches and reminiscing about them for days). Shannon secretly wrote down several stories and compiled them in a simple book which John received for Fathers Day, one year long ago. John was surprised and thrilled that his family had taken the time to commemorate his nightly creativity for posterity.

At special events, the necessity of appropriate readings serves a special need for many who find themselves speechless in their attempt to express the emotion of their heart. This book has in its entirety something for everyone.

From The Heart, is a Christian Song Lyric Book dedicated to praising and worshipping God and his Son our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. If you have a melody in your heart and enjoy singing, this is the book for you. My hope for you is that this book of Song Lyrics will uplift, inspire, refresh, encourage, and comfort any who immerse themselves in its pages. In Gods Word, the Bible in Psalms, scripture says, to make a joyful noise. Here is one example of my attempt to make a joyful noise. Mighty to Deliver: Verse: Gracious and merciful is Jehovah our God, mighty in power to deliver, His loving kindness it does surround, hiding us in the shadow of His wings.Hiding us in the shadow of His wings. verse: Holy and righteous is Jehovah our God, mighty in power to deliver, Abba Father, creator of all, the one and only true living God. The one and only true and living God. chorus: Yes, He is mighty to deliver: making ways where there are no ways, Yes He is mighty to deliver, and I will praise Him all of my days.

Truth Be Told was birthed out of an encounter with a man who had lost it all because of a series of his own bad choices, but he was somehow clinging to one of Gods greatest promises in a way that made me feel that he expected God to bless him even though he continued to make poor choices. As I thought about the truth of that great promise that he wanted to pluck from its context, I realized that it is so easy to do. In fact, as I thought back over my years of ministry, I found that I too was guilty of misquoting verses and clinging to them in the wrong way just because I heard someone else do it. Too much of Christendom is groomed by poor theology and poor hermeneutical guidelines. This book will take some of the verses that have been misused and shine the light of proper interpretation upon them. You will see that encouragement and application from Gods eternal truth can come without the cost of compromising Scripture.

The book contains testimonies from well-known former Major League players, Bobby Grich, Doug DeCinces, Joe Rudi, and others. These and others were players whom I partnered with in developing their skills. He tells of Gods intervention and prayers that were answered in the process of decisions being made.
