IN Shock:MY Journey from Death to recovery and the Redemptive Power of Hope
by Rana Awdish
View in Library Catalog
In Shock: My Journey from Death to Recovery and the Redemptive Power of Hope Book by Rana Awdish It is always an experience when we get the experience of living on the other side of the tracks. The author did an excellent job of expressing what her experience was like when she wore the robe of a patient instead of that of a doctor. She had the experience of lying in a hospital bed and watching and hearing the treatments that patients get from their medical team. She was able to experience the coldness, insensitivity, the mistakes, the delays, nasty attitudes and the attitude of being treated as a subject, as a bed #. She saw and heard, ego, self-satisfaction, received nonchalant attitudse from the medical team caring for her. This was an eye opener for her and made her determine in her heart that she would not display these attitudes in her practice.

Looking For Alaska
by John Green
View in Library Catalog
Looking for Alaska was one of my favorites when I first read it back in high school. Now a college graduate, and I wanted to see how it would hold up. There were still many things to love about this story. It's easy to read, has likeable characters, and is a fairly straight forward plot that does try to tackle some of life's deeper questions. From a slightly more mature perspective, I question these characters and their actions a little bit more than I did several years ago, but I still think it's worth a read, especially if you have never read any other John Green books before.

The Street
by Ann Petry

The book, set in the early 1940's is the story of a young black woman in Harlem trying to raise her son and better their lives amid violence and racial inequalities. It is extremely well written and I was riveted to the story to see the outcome. It is very sad story of the difficulties faced this young woman that prevented her from achieving her goals. It was published in 1946, won a literary grant for the author and has a million copies in print. I highly recommend it.

Effective Altar Ministry
by Robert E. Henson
View in Library Catalog
This book is recommended for those who desire to pray for individuals at a Pentecostal altar. By the laying on of hands and general guidance assisting individuals in prayer at an altar can create an atmosphere for them to seek God, repent of their sins, make a conscious decision that they need to be Baptized in Jesus name and at that very moment they can be filled with the Holy Ghost and speak in a new tongue. The person can be introduced to the Acts 2:38 Salvation plan. Acts 2:38 KJV: “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
