¡EL CIELO!… ¿ABURRIDO?
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99La vida eterna: ¿es un sueño hecho realidad o una amenaza ominosa? Para aquellos que se preocupan de que flotar en las nubes y tocar arpas suene increíblemente aburrido, este libro ofrece una perspectiva única, atractiva y convincente sobre el cielo. ¡El Cielo! … ¿Aburrido? se aparta de las exploraciones típicas del cielo para examinar el concepto de la vida eterna desde nuevos puntos de vista. El autor Greg Thomas, MD, combina historia, biología, cosmología, filosofía y experiencia vital, junto con anécdotas caprichosas y relevantes, para estimular el intelecto mientras entretiene al mismo tiempo. Examina cómo la ciencia moderna arroja luz sobre la relación entre lo temporal y lo eterno, y cómo esto puede profundizar nuestra apreciación por la promesa bíblica de la vida eterna. Explora cómo nuestras experiencias sensoriales actuales tanto revelan como ocultan lo eterno. Lo más importante, Thomas ofrece reflexiones sobre cómo la promesa del evangelio de la vida eterna es, de hecho, una buena noticia. La promesa de la vida eterna no es una noción sentimental o un pensamiento ilusorio; es un asunto serio. Este libro es para todos aquellos que alguna vez se han preguntado: “¿Me aburriré en el cielo?”

A Hero’s Life
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99The story of a war hero who is faced with a choice between what he believes is moral on the one hand, and his job, his family and the security of his country on the other.
Steve Pritchard was a World War II fighter pilot hero who returned from England in 1945 to his home in Los Angeles. He was a double ace with twelve downed Messerschmitt ME-109’s to his credit. Steve had married his high school sweetheart, the prettiest girl in town, went to work at Western Aircraft Company, the largest aircraft company in Southern California and moved into a new home with swimming pool on the Palos Verdes peninsula. Steve and Ellen quickly had three children and settled down to a comfortable post-war life.
He earned a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering at UCLA night school and became his company’s chief troubleshooter. The company’s design team listened to his suggestions and respected his opinion. All was going well when he was assigned a special mission by the company president to investigate multiple crashes of the company’s new, supersonic fighter jet. It would be a simple task, one that he was sure he could solve in a few days.
But those few days turned into months of futile probing, political infighting, Air Force interference, threats on his life and lack of support from his company’s management as well as from his family. Using his experience in airplane design and applying his flying skills, could he finally identify the cause of the crashes? If he identifies the problem, should he reveal the faulty design and lose his job, his home, and his family, or cover up the problem, get the promotion for which he had been working, and continue to live a comfortable life? A man who had been hailed a hero just a few years before in World War II was now to find out what it really meant to lead a hero’s life.

As globalization and urbanization increase, we will continue to encounter unknown viruses and the so-called Disease X. Since there is no cure yet, we must research and deploy standard and alternative measures.
In China, more than 500 plagues were recorded in the past 3000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine grew up struggling with those mainstream medical crises. TCM has formed mature theories on integrated treatment plans and has accumulated and recorded rich therapeutic experiences.
Diseases like influenza, SARS and Covid-19 have utilized TCM theories and have benefitted from its robust history. This book details TCMʼs role in the treatment of Covid-19 in three primary parts.
Initially a retrospection of TMC history of plagues is offered, including the earliest theories of antiserum therapy and ancient vaccines and variolation. This section also includes information on the various schools of TCM and their various approaches in understanding and treating plagues. Next, we explore modern TCM theories on the etiology and pathogenesis of Covid-19. Finally, we discuss prevention strategies as well as treatment of accompanying and underlying patterns and immune disorders associated with Covid-19. We include examples of how early physicians dealt with contagions and patients and how they tried to do their work, but not contract the diseases they were treating. We also include a section on the various stages of Covid-19 infection from initial to critical as well as the sequelae of this infection. TCM has been found to be especially useful in the post-infection phase for patients with lingering symptoms.
This book is based on a combination of scientific research emanating from Western as well as TCM sources.
