The power of prayer brought me through a lifetime of brokenness. After having surgery for a broken back, I was taken into heaven. Jesus presented me with a heavenly Ph.D. He was signifying to me that I had passed my test. Now He wants me to testify to the world. This book is a written testimony of all that His miraculous hand has done in my life. As Jolene Moser says, "From the beginning my life was not easy. After years of enduring severe trials and brokenness, an uncommon event took me into heaven. God has now anointed me for a higher calling. Now, I will testify of Jesus to the world. Because He lives I can face tomorrow. "Just as Paul says in Acts 20: 24, 'My life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus, the work of telling others the good news about God's wonderful kindness and love.'"

"All through life, we run into negative people. They tell us who we are supposed to be, how we're. supposed to conform to. I chose not to listen to those voices of conformity and doubt and not believe the limitation the doctors and therapist had set for me in the days after the explosion. I chose to put my trust in God. In the Army, I learned never to give up, never surrender. " JP Lane Walking Again Lane a native of Ohio, hopes to give readers strength and courage through his testimony and help others find purpose in their lives, knowing that God is always on their side. He offers a candid view of how his devastating injuries affected not only him but his entire family. This heart-wrenching account of the process of learning to walk and talk again at the age of 23 is a story of hope and healing as only a double amputee can tell it. "Courage is a word we use to describe how we have our fears. But what word do we use to describe a devastating injury sustained in combat by a soldier who had already proven his courage? Justin Lane, like many other American military heroes, drew from the depths of his soul to overcome his wounds, that included the loss of both legs. To me, the word courage doesn't begin to describe how this warrior was able to face his future. Read his amazing story and find out exactly what he went through. I'm proud to call him friend."

Sherri, a popular high school sophomore and newly selected member of her prestigious high school drill team, loses everything in an instant of careless teenage driving. She is left in a coma with little hope of ever walking again. God's Miracles Within these pages Sherri describes her recovery and the miracle of growing up a second time. For Sherri, LEARNING TO WALK AGAIN WAS THE "EASY" PART. Learning to eat, to talk, to think, to make decisions and friends again were battles she faced every day during her recovery. Sherri's journey towards acceptance of her changed self was much more difficult-slow, frustrating, and painful-than her physical recovery. Her loving family, a dedicated psychologist friend, and talented medical and rehabilitative staffs, supported Sherri as she grew up a second time. At the heart of Sherri's healing was her deepening faith and trust in God. This is the story of her transformation from feeling anger at Him for letting the accident happen to her recognition of God's presence in her life and His unconditional love for her. It is this faith that allows Sherri to bury the "old Sherri" and begin a new chapter in her life. This autobiography, written by Sherri from her mother's diary and interviews with those who helped her grow up a second time, is a testimony to the ability of the human spirit to survive and overcome severe physical and mental disability. Individuals, families, and book clubs who read this story will be inspired by Sherri's courage, the commitment of her family, friends and medical providers to her recovery; her rediscovery of God; and her ultimate acceptance of herself.

Yet one day she found herself on a ship bound for New York, along with her sister, Johanna, and a boy named Michael Ward, a son of itinerant tinkers. Back home, her family hadn’t expressed much confidence in her abilities, but Greta discovers that in America she can fall in love, earn a living, and build a life. She longs to return and show her family what she has made of herself—but that could mean revealing a secret about her past to her children.

For millions of Americans living with chronic pain, Walking Well Again is the pathway to rapid recovery. It provides clear guidance for both patients and clinicians to properly investigate symptoms that may be severe, but are often easy to resolve without medicine, injections, or surgery. The most common symptoms addressed include back pain, knee and hip arthritis, and foot and leg pain. They make it difficult for people to walk well, stand comfortably, sleep comfortably, sit or get up from a seated position without pain, and bend over to pick things up. These symptoms are most often attributed to Arthritis, Spinal Stenosis, Fibromyalgia, Diabetic Neuropathy, Poor Circulation, Painful Swollen Legs, or Restless Leg Syndrome. Even if present for years or decades, symptoms can resolve within 1-2 days of proper treatment. Within the practice of the author, patients with these complaints rapidly improve over 70% of the time. Less frequently, he also sees improvement in neck pain, headaches, balance problems, and depression, as is addressed within the book. Over 85 stories of individual patients are included in the book, to help the reader best understand the evaluation techniques that identify the hidden causes of pain, along with tools properly manage them. These 85 are among the over 3500 patients that have enjoyed great relief of chronic symptoms under the care of the author, Dr. Stuart Goldman. Video interviews of over 120 patients, many from the stories within the book, are included on the web site WalkingWellAgain.com. Most of the information is presented so that it can be followed by non medical people without difficulty. Several sections are labeled "For the Clinician and the Very Curious," and have information in greater detail than would be needed by individual patients seeking help. Even those sections are written in a layman's language, with explanation of medical vocabulary. The book includes 28 chapters, and is formally divided into 4 sections. The first section provides a path to understanding symptoms, which are often mistakenly thought to be from common medical diseases or even the normal aging process. The second section focuses on Spinal Stenosis and PseudoStenosis, which are most often the hidden causes of pain. PseudoStenosis is an original classification of the author, who has published many articles related to the subjects of the book. The second section presents the classic understanding and treatment of Spinal Stenosis, Dr. Goldman's original Positional Management approach, and also provides great detail into the importance and management of PseudoStenosis. The third section focuses on common causes and patterns of chronic pain, and facilitates reevaluation of the symptoms and presents paradigms for management, based upon the use of information from Section 2. Conditions specifically addressed include Peripheral Neuropathy, Peripheral Artery Disease (poor circulation), Painful Swollen Legs, Arthritis including Fibromyalgia (two chapters), Shortness of Breath, Restless Leg Syndrome and night time symptoms, Balance problems, Depression, and the resumption of playing Sports. The fourth section has two chapters. Chapter 27 includes 40 stories that either provide new specific insights or reinforce essential concepts through the power of the tale. Chapter 28 provides an overview with direction for larger scale research, and the potential benefits of such research. Finally, there are two appendixes, and an index. In addition to many articles published in Podiatry, Diabetes, and Family Practice journals between 1997 and 2013, Dr. Goldman has also lectured at many Podiatry state and national scientific meetings. He is eager to share the information with both patients and clinicians, and is therefore pleased to present this book with a one month money back guarantee.

A passionate, thought-provoking exploration of walking as a political and cultural activity, from the author of Orwell's Roses Drawing together many histories--of anatomical evolution and city design, of treadmills and labyrinths, of walking clubs and sexual mores--Rebecca Solnit creates a fascinating portrait of the range of possibilities presented by walking. Arguing that the history of walking includes walking for pleasure as well as for political, aesthetic, and social meaning, Solnit focuses on the walkers whose everyday and extreme acts have shaped our culture, from philosophers to poets to mountaineers. She profiles some of the most significant walkers in history and fiction--from Wordsworth to Gary Snyder, from Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet to Andre Breton's Nadja--finding a profound relationship between walking and thinking and walking and culture. Solnit argues for the necessity of preserving the time and space in which to walk in our ever more car-dependent and accelerated world.
