Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A candid and moving memoir of how one woman’s pregnancy forced her to confront her definition of how to live a successful life “Slyly ironic, frequently hilarious, [Martha] Beck’s memoir charts the journey from being smart to becoming wise.”—Time This edition includes a new afterword about Adam. From the moment Martha and her husband, John, accidentally conceived their second child, all hell broke loose. They were a couple obsessed with success. After years of matching IQs and test scores with less driven peers, they had two Harvard degrees apiece and were gunning for more. They’d plotted out a future in the most vaunted ivory tower of academe. But when their unborn son, Adam, was diagnosed with Down syndrome, doctors, advisers, and friends in the Harvard community warned them that if they decided to keep the baby, they would lose all hope of achieving their carefully crafted goals. Fortunately, that’s exactly what happened. By the time Adam was born, Martha and John were propelled into a world in which they were forced to redefine everything of value to them, put all their faith in miracles, and trust that they could fly without a net. And it worked. Expecting Adam captures the abject terror and exhilarating freedom of facing impending parenthood, being forced to question one’s deepest beliefs, and rewriting life’s rules.

Book excerpt: “Coming out. Coming in. Coming home.” Adam Prashaw’s life was full of surprises from the moment he was born. Assigned female at birth, and with parents who had been expecting a boy, he spent years living as “Rebecca Danielle Adam Prashaw” before coming to terms with being a transgender man. Adam captured hearts with his humour, compassion, and intensity. After a tragic accident cut his life short, he left a legacy of changed lives and a trove of social media posts documenting his life, relationships, transition, and struggles with epilepsy, all with remarkable transparency and directness. In Soar, Adam, Soar, his father, a former priest, retells Adam’s story alongside his son’s own words. From early childhood, through coming out first as a lesbian and then as a man, and his battles with epilepsy and refusal to give in, it chronicles Adam’s drive to define himself, his joyful spirit, and his love of life, which continues to conquer all.

Download or read book Gesundheit written by Patch Adams and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1998-10-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiring and hilarious story of Patch Adams's quest to bring free health care to the world and to transform the way doctors practice medicine • Tells the story of Patch Adam's lifetime quest to transform the health care system • Released as a film from Universal Pictures, starring Robin Williams Meet Patch Adams, M.D., a social revolutionary who has devoted his career to giving away health care. Adams is the founder of the Gesundheit Institute, a home-based medical practice that has treated more than 15,000 people for free, and that is now building a full-scale hospital that will be open to anyone in the world free of charge. Ambitious? Yes. Impossible? Not for those who know and work with Patch. Whether it means putting on a red clown nose for sick children or taking a disturbed patient outside to roll down a hill with him, Adams does whatever is necessary to help heal. In his frequent lectures at medical schools and international conferences, Adams's irrepressible energy cuts through the businesslike facade of the medical industry to address the caring relationship between doctor and patient that is at the heart of true medicine. All author royalties are used to fund The Gesundheit Institute, a 40-bed free hospital in West Virginia. Adams's positive vision and plan for the future is an inspiration for those concerned with the inaccessibility of affordable, quality health care. Today's high-tech medicine has become too costly, impersonal, and grim. In his frequent lectures to colleges, churches, community groups, medical schools, and conferences, Patch shows how healing can be a loving, creative, humorous human exchange--not a business transaction.

Download or read book The Inclusive Bible written by Priests for Equality (Organization) and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While this new Bible is certainly an inclusive-language translation, it is much more: it is a re-imagining of the scriptures and our relationship to them. Not merely replacing male pronouns, the translators have rethought what kind of language has built barriers between the text and its readers. Seeking to be faithful to the original languages, they have sought new and non-sexist ways to express the same ancient truths. The Inclusive Bible is a fresh, dynamic translation into modern English, carefully crafted to let the power and poetry of the language shine forth--particularly when read aloud--giving it an immediacy and intimacy rarely found in traditional translations of the Bible. The Inclusive Bible contains both the Old and the New Testaments.

Download or read book Adam s Choice written by Roy Barrington and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-12-04 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of babies are born every day, arriving crying and wailing in a world that greets them with jubilation and happiness. Every child reinforces the future, is born innocent and brings great joy to its parents, joy that is unknown to the women whose future is blighted by a form of infertility that cannot be cured by the best medical care. Adams Choice reveals that a couples pain and agony of mind can be removed by the simple expedient of making the mans body suitable to provide the nourishing environment a baby needs. There are risks, maybe a 6-1 chance of non survival for the man because of infection but many men who love their woman say they want to do it and make their joint lives complete. Is not adoption a better way? Yes, maybe, but most couples want their own child and not the complications that too often arise when a third party is involved. In todays highly charged world of clinical research, of cloning and the numerous experimentation in the field of human fertilisation and InvitroFertilisation, doctors have all the necessary tools in their hands. They are being held back from making that one big step by fear, the fear of public disapproval and, maybe the anguish of those who see babies as purely womens work, and would consider male intervention a heinous act and one designed to demean them. It is, of course, nothing of the sort. In the years ahead, the act of chemically turning a man into a women with the use of hormonal injections, may become as celebrated as the first arrival of The Pill, an event that gave freedom, of a kind, to women. Nobody wants a Frankenstein sort of baby laboratory but we all want to help those women whose strongest, most important human emotion and desire, the wish to have a baby, is too often being cruelly thwarted. After all, nothing is more precious in our society than a baby, especially our own baby.
