Confessions of A Gynecologist
Price range: $3.99 through $16.99Dr. Dresden leaves no stone unturned as he navigates through the exciting world of the development and practice of an obstetrician and gynecologist. From start to finish, his story is wrought with startling revelations and shocking exposes. His journey uncovers the needs, hopes, anticipations and expectations of men who choose to become physicians and, later on, obstetricians and gynecologists. He deals, without evasion, with the compromises that must be made in a physician’s personal life in order to first learn and then practice his chosen profession. He explores, in stark detail, the life experiences that motivate men to strive to serve women’s medical needs. He uncovers the self-serving and abusive nature of medical training and the resultant waste, inefficiency and danger. He confronts the flaws and dangers in the medical delivery system that threaten our expectation of quality medical care. He exposes the rot, self-interest and hypocrisy that pervade the political power structure of hospitals and medical societies. Lastly, he uncovers the power that drug companies can exert to control the pricing and delivery of pharmaceuticals and concomitantly keep physicians in line. The task is monumental and the author has met the challenge.

The Greatest Semester Ever: A Memoir of Studying Abroad
$11.99An old college journal found by accident led to an inspiration 34 years later. I had always told oral stories about my travels and encounters at parties and pubs to positive responses, and reactions. After a while, I thought I might actually have a book to write here?!
It’s like a “Let’s Go Europe” travel book for those who venture to go beyond their own comfort zones. Traveling isn’t just getting into long, endless lines at the airport during the holidays. Rail is the way to go if you want to see the actual country and not from 30,000 feet. That is, of course, if you don’t have thousands of miles to cover like one doesn’t have in Western Europe. In the Spring of 1989, the Iron Curtain was still standing, and the Soviet Empire still reigned over Eastern Europe. Therefore, we were limited on where we could go, however we did manage to go behind the Iron Curtain at one point and view the former Communist World.
It explores the trials and tribulations of college students going way out of their normal surroundings, not only just to continue their college educations, but also to learn a “metric butt-load” about the world and themselves most importantly. If you want to do something amazing, see something amazing, or even achieve your wildest dreams, you’re going to have to go beyond the horizon and venture into the unknown. While the pomp in that sounds glorious, fluffy, and boisterous, the reality is that it’s true. You’ll never see the world by staying in “Mayberry”.

As the sun set with crimson colors. I placed bright summer flowers on each grave. ‘Help me to do what I should do with my life,’ I said to my sons. It was clear what my path should be.

USE YOUR MIND OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MINDn
Price range: $10.99 through $20.99My name is Felicia Elizabeth Medlock. I am the author of this book {Use your mind or lose your mind}. She is clothed with strength and dignity: she can
laugh at the days to come. (Proverbs 31:25. My book is based on the trail and tribulations from the age of three years old into an adult. I briefly describe
situations from what I can remember as an adolescent to high school as I graduated high school. And, as I survive the struggles and the good days of my life the good days came into my life, when I believed in Jesus Christ, I kept the faith that all things are able. May God that gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had. (Romans 15:5). All you need is the size of a mustard seed so that you will succeed and have all you wish for. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up just in fact you are doing. (Thessalonians 5:11). Overall, material things in life doesn’t matter because without the love of Jesus Christ you will have nothing because the bible says Jesus is love and Jesus died for us on the cross and promised us that if we believe in him, we will not perish. At times when I had no way out, I prayed, and I ask God for guidance as you scroll through my book know he is the way the truth and the life. Remember we all have choices your choice can be to do right, and your choice can be to do wrong, and the wrong way is never the correct choice, so I hope this book does you well and will stay in your thoughts when you decide to do something you know will lead you down the wrong path. Know that God s way is the best way I am a living witness.
