This book is concerned with people who are approaching the end of their lives, as well as with the personal and professional caregivers who accompany them during this last stage. It describes attitudes and coping techniques among seriously or terminally ill people, as well as the care, support and environmental conditions that can help them shape the end of life in the best way possible in accordance with their own ideas. The author=s aim in the book is to provide support for people in developing an accepting attitude towards the finiteness of life and in clearly articulating to their caregivers what their ideas of a good life are. ?This is a major work that places all end-of-life issues in a kinder, more serious, and more confident light. Well worth reading for everyone in relation to their own life, and for doctors, nurses, pastoral caregivers, counselors and all those voluntarily involved in providing humane care for seriously ill, very elderly and dying people. A book that is a wonderful read.= Dr. Matthias Mettner, Director of Studies for ?Palliative Care and Organizational Ethics & Interdisciplinary Continuing Education Switzerland=, and Program Director of the Health and Medicine Forum, Zurich.

William James was a philosopher who spoke out against the arrogant attitude of scientists who viewed religion as a biased relic of the past. His writings frequently examined the relationship between science and religion. He also tried to defend society from the inhumane tendencies of science. His arguments against the cult of science and technitzism were quite effective and led to the new philosophical pragmatism movement. Many consider The Varieties of Religious Experience as one of the seminal works in establishing a psychology of religion. This collection also includes The Principles of Psychology and Pragmatism.

In this book you will find honest answers to questions such as: Why doesn't God seem to answer me? Why does He allow physical and emotional suffering in my family? Is it possible to overcome trials? Can I overcome a crisis of faith? Where will I find comfort? Is there power in prayer? Is spiritual warfare real? This book will help you discover that when you suffer, there are people around you whom God uses to help you feel His embrace. "I cried when I read Patty's story, because I know it is true. That's how Patty is… and I'd like to be like her, putting bitterness aside. The Bible puts it this way: "Keep a sharp eye out for weeds of bitter discontent." (Heb. 12:15, MSG) I want to have Patty's attitude. In suffering, she chose to give thanks, turn to God, and find strength in Him". Kim A. Pettit

"You can take down an individual, you can take down an organization, but you can't destroy a movement." Paul Watson Captain Paul Watson, honored with the Jules Verne Award for his environmental activism in 2012, is a fighter with a clear mission: to protect the world's oceans from illegal exploitation and environmental destruction. "If the oceans die, we die." For decades, Paul Watson has risked his life for the conservation and well-being of marine life. At the age of 27, he founded the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. In 1978, the Sea Shepherd became the first ship of the now world-famous fleet with the Jolly Roger flag, modified with a trident and shepherd's crook. In a new expanded edition, including a second interview and numerous extraordinary images from the Sea Shepherd archives, Watson vividly recounts the exciting stages of his unique life, opening up an exclusive insight into his highly politicized arrest in Frankfurt in 2012 and his adventurous escape that sent him on a nerve-wracking journey filled with storms and obstacles.
