How do you define right and wrong? Opinions vary. Detailed definitions of right and wrong have become as diverse as the people who hold them. People are even avoiding concrete terms in favor of more popular and vague generalities (Be as good as you can. Love everybody. Don't hurt anybody.). This is a rampant problem in our morally relativistic culture in which morality and immorality are personal preferences. Are we headed for a point when even talking about a definition of right and wrong is a mute point, because we can sum up the dominant view as "do whatever you want"? The bottom line is that most people's total view of right and wrong does not line up with the biblical revelation of right and wrong from God's perspective. One Wrong Bite takes us back to the fountainhead of humanity in the Garden of Eden, where the first sin was committed, to see what wrong really is and where human evil really began. By God's revelation to us, we can understand where we went wrong with Him, and then move on to understand how we can really get right with Him. By His grace, we see that what we really gain infinitely outweighs what we really need to give up. In short, One Wrong Bite is about getting people back to a concrete standard of right and wrong, as defined and revealed by God, in order to know why we need a Savior and how to live once we are saved, for all of God's glory and eternal best. Bela lives in southeastern Oklahoma with his wife, three children, and one grandson. He pastors a Southern Baptist church. He is a repentant connoisseur of forbidden fruit and thankful that the Lord has put him on the right spiritual nutrition plan.

No one likes to suffer. It hurts. We all suffer, though, in one form or another, at some time or another. What is God's heart towards his children as they suffer? Does God care like a loving earthly father would for his suffering children? If God loves his children, why would he allow them to go through pain in the first place? These questions are all too common--the very questions Catherine Rackley pleaded before God when she was pummeled repeatedly by multiple hardships, all starting with a cancer diagnosis at the age of twenty-five. "Is God really good?" "Does he love me?" "Is he hearing my prayers?" The hardships did not erase, but some answers did come. You are invited to walk through this vulnerable journey with Catherine where she wrestles with blood, sweat, and tears. . . . Her hope is that you will find those secret places where God led her.

ABSTRACT: Helping patients achieve an optimal quality of life through patient-centered treatment planning should be the ultimate goal of all oral health care providers. However, this issue extends beyond the realm of the individual clinician's office. This text presents quality-of-life research from various fields, including psychology, public health, and general health care; discusses how a patient-centered approach can be applied to basic oral and craniofacial research, clinical dental practice, community dental health issues, and dental education; and addresses how oral health-related quality of life relates to treating and understanding different patient populations, such as children with special needs, medically compromised patients, patients with oral cancer, and patients with chronic facial pain. Also discussed is how factors such as race/ethnicity, gender, and age can affect oral health-related quality-of-life concerns and treatment strategies. Finally, the book offers an outlook on the role that oral health-related quality of life will play in future research and dental education.
