Joseph R. Hearn, Niel D. Nielsen

Makes you think...
This is a thoughful and sincere way to plan for the unexpected. It makes you think and puts you in the survivor's shoes. I'm more at ease now that any questions that may arise can be more easily answered.
Everyone should have this book either for themselves or for a loved one.

Harold S. Kushner
Anchor, 2004
Fantastic read!
I chose to read this book because my Dad was diagnosed with Brain cancer and i found it to be extremely helpful, without being too 'religious'. I am not a church person, but i do believe in God. This book just seemed to wrap it's arm around me and let me think and feel exactly as i needed to, without offering any of that unhelpful help that others tend to, without thinking their words through ...

It's like having a 6-month psychotherapy session with a gifted and insightful therapist. If you read self-help books, this is a must-read! ...

It Can Happen Here: Authoritarian Peril in the Age of Bush 20 reviews
Joe Conason
Thomas Dunne Books, 2007
How Bush's authoritarian presidency could lead to fascism
This is the most forthright and incisive book on the Bush administration's lies, deceptions, subversions of the Constitution, and secret and illegal activities that I have read. Conason has a way with not only words but an ability to organize and present the damning facts in a clear and decisive manner.
He begins with a sort of reprise of some of the points made by Sinclair Lewis in his ...

What Happens When Women Pray23 reviews
Evelyn Carol Christenson
Evelyn Christenson Ministry, 2008
it changed my life.
This book (Chinese translation) was given to me on the day of my baptism by an old lady in my church. At that time I was a 13 years old boy in a Presbyterian church in Taiwan. The Chinese title of the book was "The Power of Prayer" so I never thought of it as a book written for women. I remember I wept many times reading through that book. At this particular end-of-the-chapter prayer in which I ...

Antonio Damasio
Harvest Books, 2000
A seminal work
I very seldom come across a book that is so groundbreaking in its content as to make me determined to fully understand what the author is trying to convey (even if it means rereading it three times!) Damasio's The Feeling of What Happens is an astonishing achievement and I believe that the science of consciousness has been vastly enriched with this contribution.
It may help you to know, ...
