Book excerpt: Throughout my years of practice, people have often asked me why I decided to specialise in sexual health. The question is not surprising given that sexual health doctors are not held in the same regard as those who work in other medical specialties ... We sexual health physicians don't grow rich, but we have a wealth of stories-wry, funny, and sad-all illustrative of the human condition. Author and retired sexual health doctor David Bradford relates a remarkable set of stories about growing up as a gay child in a strongly Christian family, struggling with his sexuality, serving as an army doctor in Vietnam during the Vietnam War, working as Director of the Melbourne Communicable Diseases Centre at the time of the arrival of HIV/AIDS, and in private practice with hundreds of AIDS patients, many of whom did not survive. Here is a humane, wise, thoughtful voice, always conscious of the wonderful, the absurd, the fragile nature of life. David Bradford's story tells us much about who we are, how we've changed, and where some at least of our scars have come from. David Bradford was a gay Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS Physician in Melbourne and Cairns. He graduated as a doctor in 1965. After ten difficult years, including Vietnam, he discovered his specialty. During the AIDS epidemic, his patients became his life. In retirement, he and his husband live in Melbourne.

Book excerpt: An Asian/Pacific American Literature Award Honor Book Ok Lee is determined to find the perfect get-rich-quick scheme in this funny, uplifting novel that bestselling author Gene Luen Yang called “So funny and heartfelt.” Ok Lee knows it’s his responsibility to help pay the bills. With his father gone and his mother working three jobs and still barely making ends meet, there’s really no other choice. If only he could win the cash prize at the school talent contest! But he can’t sing or dance, and has no magic up his sleeves, so he tries the next best thing: a hair braiding business. It’s too bad the girls at school can’t pay him much, and he’s being befriended against his will by Mickey McDonald, the unusual girl with a larger-than-life personality. Who needs friends? They’d only distract from his mission, and Ok believes life is better on his own. Then there’s Asa Banks, the most popular boy in their grade, who’s got it out for Ok. But when the pushy deacon at their Korean church starts wooing Ok’s mom, it’s the last straw. Ok has to come up with an exit strategy—fast.

In the second book in the AWAKE AS A STRANGER trilogy, Treaz is forced to continue surviving and working from within the bodies of complete strangers—many of them with existences she never could have imagined living. She gains an improbable ally with which to rebel against the agonizing rules of her elusive employer. Despite unexplained moments of sympathy from her boss, punishment for Treaz’s rebellious acts is harsh. Grief, pain and humiliation threaten to consume Treaz if she cannot find a way back to her own life. After establishing a secret online friendship, Omani’s desire to flee from her meager existence on the compound becomes obsessive; her stark fear of her uncle’s retaliation is undeniable. Perhaps suicide is the better option. Nobody cares about her anyway. Or do they? The AWAKE AS A STRANGER trilogy follows the journey of Treaz and Omani. They reside on two different continents yet each are trapped in deplorable realities—Treaz living within other people’s bodies and Omani being held captive on her uncle’s compound. Both long to regain control over their lives, escape their merciless captors, and expose the haunting truths facing them and the world. Can they find freedom together?

Download or read book Tell Them I m Ok written by Phil Schultz and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people have told us that we should write a book, specifically speaking of the miracles, visions, dreams and messages God has given us personally and through our friends and family following our youngest daughter Christy's tragic auto accident and death at the age of 20. Including a visit by our daughter Christy from heaven, not to us but to a woman that walked away from her faith many years earlier. But God chose to give her 3 dreams, incredible dreams with details that she could have never known. The dreams ended in a message for us from Christy, a message that included an answer to a private prayer that I prayed on the night of her dreams. We can now see that God's miracles began early in our lives but before going further we want to be emphatically clear, the dreams, visions, messages, miracles and Godly inspired events provided to us personally, and for us through those that God has brought to us, are assembled in this book for you, to encourage you as you make your way through this life which is nothing less than a march through enemy territory. To help you take heart and to give you strength, as God's word says in (JOS 1:05) "No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you". As you read you too will see that many of these occurrences are incredible. Nothing less than God's hand in action can explain what we have seen with our own eyes and what has occurred.
