Navigating True North: My Journey from Blind Faith to Bold Faith
Author: Natalie Dee Latzka JD
Publisher: AuthorLoyalty
ISBN: 1632695588
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
In the uncertainty of today's world, many feel lost, often leading to anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. Attorney Natalie Dee Latzka knows this feeling well. When life got difficult, Latzka begged God to help her. His deafening silence left her doubting the faith she had been promised would protect her and intellectually questioning everything she once believed. As an attorney, Latzka understood the importance of evidence, yet it had become painfully apparent she had somehow accepted blind faith. Despite being raised Christian, she could barely articulate what she believed, much less provide evidence for why she believed it. Lost and determined to find direction, she set out on a journey searching for answers to difficult questions: ● Is there evidence that God exists? ● Who is God? ● What does God want from me? Readers are invited to along on Laztzka's journey from blind faith to evidenced-based bold faith―to examine and weigh the evidence for themselves.

Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Pharmacists who refuse to fill prescriptions for contraceptives. Surgeons who pray in the OR. Pro-life clinics and end-of-life interventions, intelligent-design activists and stem-cell-research opponents. Is this the state of modern medicine in America? In Blind Faith, Dr. Richard P. Sloan examines the fragile balance and dangerous alliance between religion and medicine—two practices that have grown disconcertingly close during the twenty-first century. While Sloan does not dispute the fact that religion can bring a sense of comfort in times of difficulty, he nevertheless believes, and in fact proves, that there is no compelling evidence that faith provides an actual cure for any ailment. By exposing the flawed research, Sloan gives readers the tools to understand when good medical science is subverted and, at the same time, provides a thought-provoking examination into the origins and varieties of faith, and human nature itself.

Touch the Top of the World
Author: Erik Weihenmayer
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 9780452282940
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
The incredible bestselling book from the author of No Barriers and The Adversity Advantage Erik Weihenmayer was born with retinoscheses, a degenerative eye disorder that would leave him blind by the age of thirteen. But Erik was determined to rise above this devastating disability and lead a fulfilling and exciting life. In this poignant and inspiring memoir, he shares his struggle to push past the limits imposed on him by his visual impairment-and by a seeing world. He speaks movingly of the role his family played in his battle to break through the barriers of blindness: the mother who prayed for the miracle that would restore her son's sight and the father who encouraged him to strive for that distant mountaintop. And he tells the story of his dream to climb the world's Seven Summits, and how he is turning that dream into astonishing reality (something fewer than a hundred mountaineers have done). From the snow-capped summit of McKinley to the towering peaks of Aconcagua and Kilimanjaro to the ultimate challenge, Mount Everest, this is a story about daring to dream in the face of impossible odds. It is about finding the courage to reach for that ultimate summit, and transforming your life into something truly miraculous. "An inspiration to other blind people and plenty of us folks who can see just fine."—Jon Krakauer, New York Times bestselling author of Into Thin Air

Book Description
Fourth Printed Edition: Updated June, 2016. The continuing story of how one man reversed wet macular degeneration in eleven weeks. This update includes follow-up results of a Fluorescein Angiography scan (with dye) that showed no bleeding in either eye. The author's Ophthalmologist said that the wet macular degeneration was completely reversed and that both eyes were very healthy. This has been accomplished without any medical drugs. "John Crittenden is one of those rare clients who goes way above and beyond the support and encouragement he receives and clearly doesn't take no for an answer. His intuitive nature and persistence, along with a passion to learn and the ability to listen, have allowed him to defy all odds outlined by conventional medicine. BLIND FAITH is a true story of encouragement, empowerment and hope. I encourage everyone with a chronic disease, or anyone that cares for someone suffering from a chronic disease, to understand that John's case outlines something greater than macular degeneration; this approach can be applied to any chronic disease state." Dr. Brian Davies, BSc, ND Comparison with current Anti-VEGF Injections published results: Avastin - 9.7 letters gained (in 52 weeks) Lucentis - 11.2 letters gained (in 52 weeks) Eylea - 13.3 letters gained (in 52 weeks) Crittenden Protocol - 35 letters gained (in 11 weeks) Crittenden Protocol - 50 letters gained (on August 28, 2015) If the author can do this then perhaps you can too. He is not writing about something he read or was taught in medical school. He is passionately writing about what he actually did and explains the full details of the protocol he developed and used. Like many of you he was told by his Ophthalmologist that there was no cure. This has been proven to be wrong. Now his Ophthalmologist (who is a professor and current head of the Retina Division at the University of British Columbia), says he has never seen this kind of regeneration before and told him to "keep doing what you're doing, you may change a lot of our minds." What You Will Learn From This Book 1. How the author reversed macular degeneration with his own naturopathic protocol in eleven weeks with continual monitoring by his Ophthalmologist. 2. How the author connected the dots between several fields of science to develop his food-based protocol. 3. Full details of his protocol and how it may be personalized for others by a Naturopathic Doctor. 4. More than 200 printed pages and more than 90 links to the science for those who want to do their own research. 5. How our bodies are creating new cells all the time, why this does not cure disease for many people, and what we can do to change that. Much, much more... BLIND FAITH is the true story of how one man discovered the answer to reversing wet macular degeneration thru diet and nutrition alone. The results are proven and cannot be challenged.

Blind Faith, Blind Ambition
Author: Eric W. Schaffert
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780983375906
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
Blind Faith, Blind Ambition is more than just the compelling story of a common man with uncommon faith creating extraordinary results. It's a recipe for how anyone can achieve this for themselves. Eric Schaffert was modestly born and raised in steel country, in Mahoning County - and has lived most of his life in that region. Yet he has become one of the most decorated sales professionals in the history of the world's largest pharmaceutical company. His secret to success is so simple, it's available to anyone. In the author's words: "Everything we see, experience or create in our life, our world, starts with a dream. The ability to dream big dreams is what has historically made America and Americans especially unique. There seems to be, however, a mentality in many areas that the American dream of finding success, however you wish to define it, is dead. More than a few have intimated that dreaming big dreams is a romantic endeavor without much utility in the real world. If someone had told me in 1976 that I would achieve both financial independence and fulfillment in my chosen profession, I would have said that's a wonderful vision. If that same person said I would also be associated with one of the world's pharmaceutical giants, be inducted into their sales Hall of Fame, and to then accept this award during a ceremony at Mar-a-Lago, the home of Donald Trump, I would have said this person's ability to dream big dreams exceeded even mine. Every one of us has a 'Mahoning County' in our personal history - where we were born, where we grew up, where we started our careers. I also believe each and every one of us has a 'Mar-a-Lago' in our personal dreams - that special destination we hope our life's journey will lead us to both professionally and personally. My story is not only about finding success and fulfillment in sales or business, but more importantly the business of life. Follow my journey to Mar-a-Lago. It is my sincere wish that I inspire you in at least some small way to not only dream but to also find the faith I have found, one that will sustain you in the pursuit of your dreams."
