The alarming spike in autism in recent years has sent doctors and parents on a search for answers. And while many controversies have erupted around the issue, none have gotten us any closer to a definitive explanation, and many key concerns remain unexplored. Moving beyond the distractions of the vaccine debate, The Autism Puzzle is the first book to address the compelling evidence that it is the pairing of environmental exposures with genetic susceptibilities that may be impacting the brain development of children. Journalist Brita Belli brings us into the lives of three families with autistic children, each with different ideas about autism, as she explores the possible causes. She interprets for readers compelling evidence that environmental toxins—including common exposures from chemicals mounting in our everyday lives—may be sparking this disorder in vulnerable children. Belli calls for an end to the use of hazardous materials—like toxic flame retardants used in electronics and furniture, which have been banned elsewhere--insisting that we cannot afford to experiment with our children. The Autism Puzzle puts a human face on the families caught in between the debates, and offers a refreshingly balanced perspective.

In 1884, the distinguished German jurist Daniel Paul Schreber suffered the first of a series of mental collapses that would afflict him for the rest of his life. In his madness, the world was revealed to him as an enormous architecture of nerves, dominated by a predatory God. It became clear to Schreber that his personal crisis was implicated in what he called a "crisis in God's realm," one that had transformed the rest of humanity into a race of fantasms. There was only one remedy; as his doctor noted: Schreber "considered himself chosen to redeem the world, and to restore to it the lost state of Blessedness. This, however, he could only do by first being transformed from a man into a woman...."

THE DRAMA OF TRAUMA: VOLUME ONE, is unique when measured against other slants on trauma. Instead of talking about the miseries that victims endure, Dr. Winslow offers hope and genuine help, to hurting souls revealing that there is triumph over trauma. Rather than getting stuck in dead-end ruts put forward by theories and empty therapies, THE DRAMA OF TRAUMA is pre-emptive. It cites John 14:27 as it's presuppositional truth. Jesus commanded His followers, "Let not your heart be troubled." Or it could be said, "Don't permit your heart to be traumatized." You don't have to be a lifelong victim. You can be healed and pre-emptive before trauma ever occurs. Forgotten truths, however, need to be revived and re-learned. What's more, this holistic collection of ideas uncovers an insidious, ancient, and incessant, onslaught of trauma shaking all levels of human life globally, shared and individually. Dr. Winslow, therefore, exposes an ancient, demonic strategy, staged like a theatrical drama in its acts, script, finale, and a cast that targets an expanding audience, while addressing trauma sufferers, therapists, families, doctors, ministers, soldiers, and abuse victims. At the same time she respects the breadth of Christian theology, denominations and spiritual views. But most of all, Dr. Winslow takes this puzzling topic and connects it's pieces into a practical layout that brings hope to the heartbroken. In her many years of experience, talking with, ministering to and praying with trauma sufferers she's seen many trauma victims healed, often instantaneously. For that reason, this message is timely: for such a time as this.
