Jesus Germs and the Great...

Faith Christie RN

Is it possible to be a Christian and a nurse at the same time? 
When I first started out in my calling as a nurse, I thought the answer to that question was an easy "yes," but then as I walked the long halls of the hospital, I started to have questions:Is it ever okay to pray for a patient?Why do I feel so awkward asking for a chaplain?When death is real, does heaven have a place in the hospital? 
I tried to find resources written by other Christian medical professionals to help me, but all I ever heard were statements on ethics and the legal repercussions of bringing "coercive" faith to the bedside. 
Then I faced death myself in an ICU bed and learned that a lot of my fears were irrelevant in the Presence of the living God. And with that realization, I began to learn how God could make me a Christian and a nurse at the same time. 
Facing death in an ICU bed is a high-risk education not everyone can afford, so I've collected the lessons learned during my journey in this book. These spiritual case studies can be used to help nurses bring their faith to work. 
Discussion Questions included for small group study or personal growth.

The Frontier Below

Jeff Maynard

Triumphs and disasters in the deep sea
This is a journey through time and water, to the bottom of the ocean and the future of our planet.
We do not see the ocean when we look at the water that blankets more than two thirds of our planet. We only see the entrance to it. Beyond that entrance is a world hostile to humans, yet critical to our survival. The first divers to enter that world held their breath and splashed beneath the surface, often clutching rocks to pull them down. Over centuries, they invented wooden diving bells, clumsy diving suits, and unwieldy contraptions in attempts to go deeper and stay longer. But each advance was fraught with danger, as the intruders had to survive the crushing weight of water, or the deadly physiological effects of breathing compressed air. The vertical odyssey continued when explorers squeezed into heavy steel balls dangling on cables, or slung beneath floats filled with flammable gasoline. Plunging into the narrow trenches between the tectonic plates of the Earth’s crust, they eventually reached the bottom of the ocean in the same decade that men first walked on the moon.
Today, as nations scramble to exploit the resources of the ocean floor, The Frontier Below recalls a story of human endeavour that took 2,000 years to travel seven miles, then investigates how we will explore the ocean in the future.
Meticulously researched and drawing extensively on unpublished sources and personal interviews, The Frontier Below is the untold story of the pioneers who had the right stuff, but were forgotten because they went in the wrong direction.
The Frontier Below by Jeff Maynard is a captivating journey through the history of maritime expeditions, the science of physiology, and the economics of resource extraction. It is a testament to human endeavour and the indomitable spirit of exploration, offering a glimpse into the future of our oceans.
For fans of David Grann (Killers of the Flower Moon), Helen Czerski (Blue Machine), Ben Macintyre (Colditz), and Julian Sancton (Madhouse at the End of the Earth).
