    Belonging: A Journey of Healing, Forgiving, and Manifesting Everything I Ever Desired is a soul-stirring memoir that dares to ask—what if everything you've ever needed was already within you? 
    From surviving childhood trauma and navigating abandonment to becoming a national youth leader, spiritual visionary, and respected scholar, Dr. Shawn Boone chronicles a path marked by pain, purpose, and profound awakening.

Framework™—a powerful process rooted in Stillness, Embodiment, Expression, and Discernment. These guiding principles help readers align with their highest self, break free from inherited patterns, and manifest a life of meaning and purpose.

    This is small copy of the introduction of the book: Welcome to the fascinating journey through the life and legacy of John Calvin, a remarkable figure in the annals of Christian history. In this book, we will delve into the life of a man whose ideas and teachings have left an indelible mark on Protestantism and the broader theological landscape. As a seasoned historian with over four decades of experience in studying the complexities of ancient, medieval, and modern history, I'm excited to be your guide through the life of John Calvin. This book is not just a recounting of events but a journey into the heart and mind of a French theologian and pastor who reshaped the religious landscape of his time. 
    John Calvin was born on July 10, 1509, in Noyon, Picardy, France. Little did the world know that this unassuming birth would lead to a seismic shift in the Christian faith. His journey encompasses pivotal moments in the Protestant Reformation, theological debates, and the establishment of Reformed Protestantism. 
    Throughout this book, we will explore the significant events that shaped Calvin's life. From his early education in Paris to his conversion to Protestantism and his influential work, "Institutes of the Christian Religion," we will walk alongside him as he faces exile, controversy, and the challenges of religious leadership in Geneva. Calvin's impact extended beyond his time, as his theological writings, commentaries, and letters continue to inspire and influence theologians, scholars, and believers around the world.

    Bestselling author and psychologist Tony Bates has spent his whole career examining and seeking to understand the lives of others. Here, he turns his therapeutic eye on himself and describes the events and people in his own life that have made him the insightful thinker and teacher that he is today.
    Tony recalls traumatic events in his childhood that reverberated throughout his life for many years and describes how, with therapy and time, he was eventually able to heal those internal wounds. He recounts the stories of people in pain that affected him most deeply and informed both the direction of his work and his philosophy as a psychologist.
    By interweaving his own life story with reflections on how psychology and society treat people with mental health vulnerabilities, Tony invites us to reflect with compassion on the meaning of emotional struggles in all our lives.
    'A searingly honest, lucid and inspiring account of a life, moving from deep childhood trauma to the hard-earned wisdom of a wounded healer. A compelling read and remarkable achievement.' Richard Kearney
    'I was moved by Tony's honesty; humbled by his courage; fascinated by the way he used psychology to make sense of his personal suffering; and inspired by the place he has arrived at this point in his life. Beautifully written, poetic in parts, Tony's book is a treasure trove of wisdom. Everyone should read it.' Alan Carr, PHD
    'What a generous gift, so typical of Tony, to those who need to know that in their loneliness or depression they are not alone' Dr Mary McAleese
    'This is an emotional read in which the psychologist bears their own soul and highlights why they are so skilled at their work' Niall Breslin

    Experts agree on the value of genetic testing when there is a family history of disease, or if the patient has an illness frequently caused by a mutation. Knowing the disease mutation lets family members find out if they have it too and need preventive care. The book explains that doctors can order tests with genetic counseling at relatively low cost and how this will help them prescribe preventive actions, make earlier diagnoses, and get better outcomes. The book's genetic discussions also delve into the implications of broad-based genetic screening without a family history. Policymakers are considering the benefits and drawbacks of this approach and I present both sides of this debate. 
     
     
     
    While working on this book I uncovered a family secret hidden for over one hundred years. Family lore had it that a heavy dressmaker's mirror fell on and killed my uncle when he was four. But the death certificate told a different story—his true cause of death was heart failure. My grandparents fabricated the accident to protect their surviving children's marriage prospects. Long before the discovery of DNA, my grandparents intuited and feared James Watson's message, "We used to think that our fate was in our stars, but now we know that, in large measure, our fate is in our genes." The book suggests genetic testing and associated medical intervention can change our fates.
