Book Description
Ken Adams, as a trained medic, was sent out to the Far East and immediately saw action on the Malay Peninsula. Captured at Singapore he initially worked at Changi Hospital. Many moves and much worse capos in Thailand were to follow. He describes his life, work and the terrible conditions endured at the hands of the Japanese and Korea guards and worst of all, the Kempetai secret police.Illnesses such as dysentery, malaria, avitominosis, cholera and smallpox had to be treated with minimal or no medicines. Starvation was a fact of life.The author was frequently moved around and in 1945 took part in a march of many hundreds of miles which inevitably proved fatal to many of his fellow POWs.Liberation and repatriation are movingly described as, most significantly, is the whole process of settling back into normal life after so long in captivity of the worst kind.Healing in Hell is an exceptional account that demands reading.

Book Description
A son's courageous effort to clear his father's name, From Healing to Hell tells the needless tragedy of W. Henry Wall, M.D., a successful southwest Georgia physician and state senator of the mid-1900s. After Dr. Wall became unwittingly addicted to a prescription drug, he found himself trapped in a nightmarish chain of events. Arrested on federal drug charges, he was convicted and sentenced to the only U.S. prison for addicts. His community was shocked and his entire family including the author, then 17, was devastated. In prison, Dr. Wall was subjected against his will to the CIA's notorious MK Ultra drug experiments. The Wall family's half-century nightmare should give every American fair warning: while government is essential to protect us, its powers must never be left unchecked.

Book Description
In 2005 Pastor Darlene was grieving the death of her niece Michelle Larocque who was brutally murdered by her husband, when she heard the Lord clearly say "it is time to tell your story of childhood sexual abuse which lead to a life of addictions and years living in domestic violence." He said "this book would be a life line to many men and women who find themselves in abusive relationships addicted to negative behaviors and negative emotions that fuel those behaviors." Pastor Darlene candidly and transparently shares her life story of how she met a man that changed her life completely and delivered her from the path of destruction that she was on. She shares her life journey and the lessons learned that has transformed her from the inside out.

Book Description
How can a loving God send people to hell? Isn’t it arrogant to believe Jesus is the only way to God? What is up with holy war in the Old Testament? Many of us fear God has some skeletons in the closet. Hell, judgment, and holy war are hot topics for the Christian faith that have a way of igniting fierce debate far and wide. These hard questions leave many wondering whether God is really good and can truly be trusted. The Skeletons in God's Closet confronts our popular caricatures of these difficult topics with the beauty and power of the real thing. Josh Butler reveals that these subjects are consistent with, rather than contradictory to, the goodness of God. He explores Scripture to reveal the plotlines that make sense of these tough topics in light of God’s goodness. From fresh angles, Josh deals powerfully with such difficult passages as: The Lake of Fire Lazarus and the Rich Man The Slaughter of Canaanites in the Old Testament Ultimately, The Skeletons in God's Close uses our toughest questions to provoke paradigm shifts in how we understand our faith as a whole. It pulls the “skeletons out of God’s closet” to reveal they were never really skeletons at all.

Book Description
Join Chris Martin for a poetic walking tour of hell—or is it heaven? In this wickedly clever collection, Martin asks how we go about living in the tension between protesting lunatic politicians and picking up the kids from school, mourning a dying Earth and making soup, combating white supremacy and loving our dear ones. Martin’s poems pick at the tender scabs protecting our national and individual identities, and call for more honest healing. Things to Do in Hell channels 2016 anger into 2020 action with sophisticated, rhythmic verse that compels us to beat our swords into ploughshares and join the fight.

Book Description
When Going Through Hell...Don't Stop! A Survivor's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety and Clinical Depression--which describes the dramatic story of author and counselor Douglas Bloch's battle with, and ultimate recovery from, a life-threatening depressive illness. Although the managed care mental health system failed to provide him with adequate treatment, Mr. Bloch devised "a daily survival plan for living in hell" which he adopted until the power of spirit, acting through a group of committed, loving people, brought about his recovery. In addition to his compelling story, Mr. Bloch outlines a fourteen point "brain maintenance" program--a holistic approach to the treatment of anxiety and depression that includes: diet; nutrition; exercise; stress-reduction; medication; vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements; and the importance of creating strong bonds of social support (social isolation is both a cause of and a consequence of depression).
