The Poisonwood Bible for a new generation. Elizabeth Musser, author of The Long Highway Home

I felt torn between two worlds. Each with its own mystery. One more captivating than the other, but the other more real and breathing.

It took Lauren and her husband ten years to achieve their dreamreaching primitive tribes in remote regions of Nepal. But while Sam treks into the Himalayas for weeks at a time, finding passion and purpose in his work among the needy, Lauren and Ryan stay behind, their daily reality more taxing than inspiring. For them, what started as a calling begins to feel like the familys undoing.

At the peak of her isolation and disillusion, a friend from Laurens past enters her life again. But as her communication with Aidan intensifies, so does the tension of coping with the present while reengaging with the past. Its thirteen-year-old Ryan who most keenly bears the brunt of her distraction.

Intimate and bold, Of Stillness and Storm weaves profound dilemmas into a tale of troubled love and honorable intentions gone awry.

In this fine novel, Phoenix realistically captures the deep struggles enveloping a missionary family. Publishers Weekly

A Practical Guide to Global Point-of-Care Testing

# data[].attributes.description
Point-of-care testing (POCT) refers to pathology testing performed in a clinical setting at the time of patient consultation, generating a rapid test result that enables informed and timely clinical action to be taken on patient care. It offers patients greater convenience and access to health services and helps to improve clinical outcomes. POCT also provides innovative solutions for the detection and management of chronic, acute and infectious diseases, in settings including family practices, Indigenous medical services, community health facilities, rural and remote areas and in developing countries, where health-care services are often geographically isolated from the nearest pathology laboratory.

A Practical Guide to Global Point-of-Care Testing shows health professionals how to set up and manage POCT services under a quality-assured, sustainable, clinically and culturally effective framework, as well as understand the wide global scope and clinical applications of POCT.

The book is divided into three major themes: the management of POCT services, a global perspective on the clinical use of POCT, and POCT for specific clinical settings. Chapters within each theme are written by experts and explore wide-ranging topics such as selecting and evaluating devices, POCT for diabetes, coagulation disorders, HIV, malaria and Ebola, and the use of POCT for disaster management and in extreme environments. Figures are included throughout to illustrate the concepts, principles and practice of POCT.

Written for a broad range of practicing health professionals from the fields of medical science, health science, nursing, medicine, paramedic science, Indigenous health, public health, pharmacy, aged care and sports medicine, A Practical Guide to Global Point-of-Care Testing will also benefit university students studying these health-related disciplines.

Biochemistry is a major new textbook designed and created specifically for briefer courses in the subject. Written by Prof. Terry Brown of the University of Manchester (author of Genomes and Gene Cloning), the book provides the necessary detail and rigor expected for these courses, but without the extraneous material found in the larger textbooks.

With an increasing number of students taking a shorter course in biochemistry there is a growing need for a book that covers the subject concisely and succinctly. 

Biochemistry has been designed from the outset for these shorter courses; it is not a cut-down version of one of the larger books that dominate the market. 

Although it is shorter, there is no compromise in content, style and coverage. The book is attractively designed in full color throughout with all the pedagogical features expected in a major textbook. It covers what your students should be expected to know and is written in the clear and accurate writing style for which Terry Brown is widely lauded.

With its competitive price and resources for adopting lecturers (all of the illustrations and diagrams from the book, and answers to the end of chapter questions), Biochemistry will become the textbook of choice for any brief biochemistry course.

Noah Cathcart, Associate Pastor of his fathers church, is married to Grace, the Pinup Girl of Pastors Wives, and they have an 8-year-old son, a 3-legged Chihuahua and a mortgage. So far, Noahs life has gone according to plan.

One morning, he is rousted out of bed by his estranged brother, Anthony, asking him to help a friend, Secret Agent Mel, move into a shelter before he gets himself arrested. Noah heads to the homeless camp, planning to do a good deed and be home before Grace wakes up. Instead, he ends up in jail.

Grace says hes going to ruin everything. Why isnt he sticking to the plan? He has to get back on track and he knows it, but he cant stop thinking about Secret Agent Mel, or Justice, the accordion player he met in the police van, or the little girl wandering through the homeless camp in panda bear slippers. Or her mother.

Church board members arent happy and his father is sorely disappointed. His life at home isnt going any better. Grace isnt as pious as he thought and his son, Gabe, who sucks his thumb and confides in a ratty, no-eyed rabbit, is in big trouble over what he took to show and tell. Now Anthony wants another favor and this one could threaten Noahs career and relationship with their father.

Noahs best friend and fellow Bigfoot Hunter, Charlee Radcliff, who has her own problems, comes to Noahs aid and they set out to put his life back in order. Will the Bigfoot Code they penned when they were kids help? Or will it take a tragic event to give him the courage to risk his plan and find out who Noah Cathcart is, what he wants in life and what it takes to be a father, husband, brother, son and pastor. The answer may be closer than he thinks.

Bigfoot Hunters Never Lie is a story of friendship and intimacy, forgiving and forgetting, spiritual awakening and the meaning of family.

This is the beginnings of what we, as the Christian Church, have collected and held fast to regarding our spiritual heritage, outside the Holy Scriptures. These variant writings have been handed down through the ages as being the foundation for much of our inherited doctrine, from which we have a ready reference to the customs and practices of the Early Christian Church. "The Ante-Nicene Fathers" ranges from the Apostolic Fathers to various third and fourth century sources including the liturgies and ancient Syriac documents. It was intended to comprise translations into English of all the extant works of the Fathers down to the date of the first General Council held at Nicaea in 325 A.D. The Ante-Nicene Fathers set enables modern readers to see for themselves what the early Christians believed on a variety of subjects such as baptism, communion, salvation, eternal security, predestination, gifts of the Spirit, life after death, war, abortion, and the Trinity. 

This is Vol. 2 Bk. 1.
