Book Description
From gruesome self-experimentation to exhausting theoretical calculations, stories abound of scientists willfully surrendering health, well-being, and personal interests for the sake of their work. What accounts for the prevalence of this coupling of knowledge and pain-and for the peculiar assumption that science requires such suffering? In this lucid and absorbing history, Rebecca M. Herzig explores the rise of an ethic of "self-sacrifice" in American science. Delving into some of the more bewildering practices of the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era, she describes when and how science-the supposed standard of all things judicious and disinterested-came to rely on an enthralled investigator willing to embrace toil, danger, and even lethal dismemberment. With attention to shifting racial, sexual, and transnational politics, Herzig examines the suffering scientist as a way to understand the rapid transformation of American life between the Civil War and World War I.3 Suffering for Science reveals more than the passion evident in many scientific vocations; it also illuminates a nation's changing understandings of the purposes of suffering, the limits of reason, and the nature of freedom in the aftermath of slavery.

Book Description
Twenty years ago, Jerry Sittser lost his daughter, wife, and mother in a car accident. He chronicled that tragic experience in A Grace Disguised, a book that has become a classic on the topic of grief and loss. Now he asks: How do we live meaningfully, even fruitfully, in this world and at the same time long for heaven? How do we respond to the paradox of being a new creature in Christ even though we don’t always feel or act like one? How can we trust God is involved in our story when our circumstances seem to say he isn’t? While A Grace Disguised explored how the soul grows through loss, A Grace Revealed brings the story of Sittser’s family full circle, revealing God’s redeeming work in the midst of circumstances that could easily have destroyed them. As Sittser reminds us, our lives tell a good story after all. A Grace Revealed will helps us understand and trust that God is writing a beautiful story in our own lives.

Book Description
Suffering is something that affects everyone. For many, it can be a stumbling block to faith in God and the catalyst to an unhappy life. But it doesn't have to be this way. In fact, it can be the catalyst to something greater: union with Christ.

Book Description
Suffering with Christ was not only the experience of the early church but is that of much of the church today. This volume presents up to date, global reflections on the different ways in which the church suffers: from class discrimination to government persecution; from interreligious conflict to tensions between different Christian groups. With a special focus on Pentecostal/Charismatic Christianity but also bringing Roman Catholic and Orthodox perspectives into the mix, this book provides both theological and practical insight.

Book Description
Does God’s perfect plan really include this? When her young son was diagnosed with brain cancer, Jessica Kelley couldn’t stomach Christian clichés. God’s will? Divine design? The Lord’s perfect plan? In Lord Willing?, Kelley boldly tackles one of the most difficult questions of the Christian life: if God is all-powerful and all-loving, why do we suffer? For Kelley, this question takes an even more painful and personal turn: did God lack the power or the desire to spare her four-year-old son? For those dissatisfied with easy answers to why evil and tragedy occur, Lord Willing? offers a refreshing, hopeful journey straight to the heart of God. Be prepared for something more beautiful, more pure, and more healing that you can dare to imagine.

Book Description
PREFACE The Commander, United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) directed that all Special Operational Forces (SOF) Medics be trained to a single, interoperable standard. He directed that the USSOCOM’s Advanced Tactical Practitioner’s (ATP) Critical Task List (CTL) be implemented into all SOF enlisted medical training as a minimum standard. Upon completion of SOF medical training, all SOF students are required to sit and successfully pass the USSOCOM Advanced Tactical Practitioner’s Certification Examination as official recognition and proof of the student’s knowledge of the CTL medical requirements. This study guide reflects the hybrid nature of the USSOCOM certification examination. Where applicable, SOF medical requirements and standards have been merged with the DOT based curriculum. The DOT/Civilian standards of care are always applicable to the military but there may be times when it is difficult to achieve. Many questions on the examination will be appropriate in either setting. Where so, there has been an attempt both on the examination and in this study guide, to differentiate the standard of care in the pertinent setting. The ATP student will find that like the Department of Transportation’s Curriculum and the National Registry’s Certification program and any other “Medical Certification” process; most of the material covered within the pages of this study guide will be covered during the student’s formal phase of instruction. However, some of it may not. The student must recognize that not all subject material can be taught in a formal setting. It is the ATP student’s responsibility to use this study guide to complement their formal instruction in preparation to successfully pass the USSOCOM ATP Certification Examination.
