"This is your only option....It's not a good option, but you will die if we don't transplant right now." All I could do was cry and pray "Dear God! What has happened? Save this man! He is my soul, my life!" David was a successful, 6ft, 230 pound, 46 year old engineer that was never sick a day in his life. His career was soaring and he was on top of the world! Within one month, he was reduced to a 150-pound shell of a man being kept alive by a respirator. His mind was as sharp as ever.....his lungs were giving out. David was a strong Christian man who was going to be tested time and time again during his two-year battle with IPF-Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. This is his struggle with his faith, his health, his shattered dreams and his end of life choices. He was an inspiration to every nurse, doctor, surgeon, and lung transplant patient at the University of California San Francisco pulmonary family. His courage, determination, and selflessness will touch the very depths of your soul. "A truly inspiring story of courage and love...a testament to the power of Christian faith in the face of death."

There are over 1.5 million Asian Indians in the Americas, most of whom have transplanted the religious customs of their homeland. Transplanting Religious Traditions is a study of how individuals, families, and small groups transport and sustain their religious practices and how they eventually construct stable religious institutions suited to the American context. The book centers on the Indian community in Atlanta, Georgia from 1979 to 1988 but relates the study to America's East Indian population as a whole. Social scientists, religion scholars and students, as well as all members of the East Indian-American community, will find this a valuable study.

Turning a difficult situation into a positive experience takes courage, faith, perseverance, and strength. How we deal with adversity defines who we truly are as human beings. In New Life: Lessons in Faith and Courage, we meet people who have overcome obstacles and inspired others around them along the way. Organ transplant recipients face not only serious illnesses, but sometimes life-threatening situations. Yet those same recipients have turned their frightening experiences into unique and inspiring examples of courage and achievement. New Life is a collection of heartwarming and compelling stories that will encourage not only transplant candidates, recipients, and their families, but people who are facing any kind of adversity. Through uplifting accounts of human achievement, readers are left with a deep sense of admiration for the accomplishments and triumphs of the individuals profiled. These stories show us how to overcome the most difficult of circumstances and go on to lead active, generous, and in many cases, remarkable lives. "Each of the vignettes in this book is a jewel. I am sure the book will have a positive effect on organ donation and increase the public's acceptance of transplantation."-Thomas E. Starzl, M.D., professor of surgery, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. "These are stories of incredible bravery. The overall message is enlightening and filled with hope. When our backs are against the wall, we human beings rise to the occasion and with the help of God, prevail."-Walter Ruzek, president of the Transplant Recipients International Organization, Long Island Chapter. "As a liver recipient, I love this book. Bob Violino deserves the highest accolades for his marvelous compilation of organ transplant stories. He puts faces on this lifesaving procedure. I feel certain the book will promote organ donation."-Larry Hagman, actor "This book will inspire not only transplant candidates and recipients, but anyone who is facing a health problem or other difficult challenge."-Dr. Robert Phillips, licensed psychologist and director of the Center for Coping, Hicksville, N.Y.

Type II diabetic, arterial blockage cleared by heart catheterization with four stents inserted, fall and resulting fractured L3 vertebrae, left lung transplant, heart attack in ICU while recovering from transplant, two more stents inserted and I leave the hospital 11 days after entry. Many believe my survival from surgery and health issues noted makes my life a miracle. I believe, as does my friend Tammie, that God has more for me to do. Thanks for your interest and may you be positively impacted by one man's miraculous journey. Charles Gary Godwin "Transplanting Faith recounts the experience of a truly wonderful and courageous man, who through a balanced combination of trust, faith and diligent self-seeking, wrestles with a deadly lung disease. Gary's journey inspires us all - patients, family members of the afflicted, caregivers, scientists, and physicians - to exercise faith in difficult circumstances." Dr. Victor J. Thannickal Director, Division of Pulmonary University of Alabama at Birmingham "I really enjoyed your manuscript and think it is well done - gracious, thankful, reflective, and exhortative in a good and appropriate way. I am thankful to get to walk through and reflect on these last years, and the miracles, again with you. God bless your work." Rev. Mark DiCristina St. Francis at the Point Montrose, Alabama "I love the idea of reflections at the end of chapters. You want people to personalize the story to their own situation and hear from the Lord themselves so that is great." Diana Scimone President Peapod Publishing, Inc. "As a research scientist I was well read on IPF but had never been in direct contact with someone diagnosed with the disease. After my first meeting with Gary Godwin I walked back to the lab with renewed purpose. Encouraged by his positive attitude, I was grateful for our brief encounter and unaware of the pivotal roles we were about to play in each other's lives." Dr. Louise Hecker Assistant Professor of MedicineUniversity of Alabama at Birmingham

Larry Gragg challenges the prevailing view of the seventeenth-century English planters of Barbados as architects of a social disaster. Most historians have described them as profligate and immoral, as grasping capitalists who exploited their servants and slaves in a quest for quick riches inthe cultivation of sugar. Yet, they were more than rapacious entrepreneurs. Like English emigrants to other regions in the empire, sugar planters transplanted many familiar governmental and legal institutions, eagerly started families, abided traditional views about the social order, and resistedcompromises in their diet, apparel, and housing, despite their tropical setting. Seldom becoming absentee planters, these Englishmen developed an extraordinary attraction to Barbados, where they saw themselves, as one group of planters explained in a petition, as 'being Englishmentransplanted'.
