The Perfect Gift

by Tibor and Anita Namenyi
"The Perfect Gift is a heartbreaking, true story of a sweet little girl, Kyra, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of four. Follow her and her family’s journey through suffering and many miracles in this book, written by her parents. After nine months of fighting this deadly disease, during an MRI-scan, she had a special encounter with Jesus. She had such a “childlike” faith in God that all of us could be jealous of. God gave her 5 years and 5 months on this earth, then took her home to Heaven to enjoy eternal life. She is 'safe in the arms of Jesus.'" Available here.

Dr. Denmark Said It!

by Madia Linton Bowman
"Dr. Denmrak, America's longest practiced pediatrician - 73 years - methods of baby and child health care best described as holistic, with moderate use of prescriptions only in cases where self treatment is not advised. Helps keep children out of the doctor's office with nutritionally sound advice and healthy living habits." Available here

Endocrine Disrupted

by Darlene Rose
"Endocrine Disrupted is written for the non-scientist. Many books exist on this subject but Endocrine Disrupted is easy-to-read and broken down into simple language for the average person seeking to improve their health. It is based on Ms. Rose's journey of multiple-chemical sensitivities, originating from the mercury fillings in her teeth and compounded by chemicals in cleaning supplies, cosmetics and processed foods. Sensitivities or symptoms, such as the wide-spread pain of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, internal tremors and headaches, she learned, were the result of endocrine disruptors; chemicals that often interfere with the endocrine system and produce adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects in both humans and wildlife. Study after study will convince you of the dangers regarding pesticides, herbicides, cosmetics and cleaning supplies but will not leave you powerless. Endocrine Disrupted includes recipes for healthy eating, home skin care and cleaning products, as well as sound, practical wellness suggestions for healthy living." Available here.
