Learn to live. They wait and stalk to lie and talk as if you were a child that they had owned, as if they’d known and roamed with you a while. They sell their drugs to hordes of mugs who pay to die with ease, to hordes of thugs who pay for slugs of poisons that they’d please. To gain their weight in customers, they branch about the town to push their drugs upon the mugs who’d pay to hoof them down. They steal and leave the blind to lead; to tragic roads they’d hike upon the bleak and endless paths that shadows crawl in fright. They steal away their confidence and try to stretch, “to rake” the sun that shines out from the minds of those who do not take. To just feel tough as long as hard would be the road that’s grave; for moments view upon the feud, they take the drugs they’d crave to ruin people’s calm and peace, replaced with evil fiends; they stalk the worlds that they’d observed to rule them in their dreams. Upon the role of custom, laws are breached aboard smite—upon the realm of chances and upon the dark of night. In paths that rehabilitate and those who do not care—the sun still shines for those inclined, to live life if they dare. To learn the meaning of our lives, it’s said we’ll surely know—upon the end and when we bend to lessons that we grow. Although it’s such an easy thought to trust, we learn to live as if it’s hard to see the yard and life the sun can give.

Light from Dark Places is an in-depth look at one individual's journey through the end of the Jim Crow South. As we follow him into the early years, there's murder and mayhem early on as we witness the scene and manage to keep a low profile. Then it's onto camp and after a dip in the river, we watch him rise to the top of the tower and become a poster child. Soon, it's onto meeting and dealing with the fearless leader and the around-the-way bunch. Then it's onto high school to hang out with a famous serial killer and walk on eggshells past tough and ruthless gang leaders. After this, we can stop by the island to pick up a quick nickel or a dime and have some fun playing the corner games. When the time comes to see that block-long rebel flag and meet the NAACP, we know then that after a drive to the airport, it may be time for a road trip. If we can get permission, we may be able to get back to business. That leads us back home where we can pose for pretty late-night pictures for the cops. This will get us a job in the capital, where we may get robbed and stabbed if we're not careful. Once we return home to play the game, it may be too late to fade to black. Now we make some life-and-death choices in hope of getting with a fine young lady. We find ourselves on the road to recovery. After watching God soften the hardest hearts, we find our way to redemption at the local homeless shelter and the Tuesday night beginners' meeting. Now if you have no clue as to the meaning of any of this, you have not read the book. It's all there and more. This is code used to describe a real life of crime and a full and complete turnaround due to what I would like to call a spiritual awakening and God's will after surrendering and some quick prayers on the steps.

“In The Radiant Midnight you will find not merely abstract ideas about the essence of darkness or how to go about facing it. You will also find humor, Wisdom. Honesty. You will find Melissa’s very bone and blood…it is here, then, in reading—rather, perhaps, listening to—her words, that your heart, trapped as it may feel in its own midnight, begins to see the first signs of dawn.” –Curt Thompson, MD, author of Anatomy of the Soul Grace and Hope for Long Dark Nights Have you ever suffered with depression, sadness, or the feeling that you just can't seem to get it together? Do you wonder if you could ever view your deepest wounds in a different light? Through candid storytelling, biblical truth, honest lament, and unexpected humor, The Radiant Midnight is a bold refusal to simplify the experience of suffering by moving too quickly to try to relieve it. With questions to guide you and practical suggestions to lead you through dark moments, this book takes you on a journey of surrender, suffering, rest, and restoration as it encourages and comforts you in whatever struggle you face. The message of The Radiant Midnight is fueled by the passionate belief that not only will God lead you out of darkness, He will be fully and beautifully present within it. You can find deep contentment in painful circumstances and discover a profound intimacy with a compassionate, tender God who is with you in every moment—in each hope-filled dawn and every radiant midnight.

This is a catalogue of the Edward C. Atwater Collection of rare books dealing with "popular medicine" in early America which is housed at the University of Rochester Medical School library. The books described in the catalogue were written by physicians and other professionals to provide information for the non-medical audience. The books taught human anatomy, hygiene, temperance and diet, how to maintain health, and how to cope with illness especially when no professional help was available. The books promoted a healthy lifestyle for the readers, giving guidance on everything from physical fitness and recreation to the special health needs of women. The collection consists of works dealing with reproduction [from birth control to delivering and caring for a baby], venereal disease, home-nursing, epidemics, and the need for public sex education. These books, covering areas largely ignored by the medical profession, made important contributions to the health of the American public, and the collection is a vital piece of medical history. The collector is Edward C. Atwater, Professor Emeritus of Medicine and the History of Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical School. Christopher Hoolihan is History of Medicine Librarian at the University of Rochester Medical School's Edward G. Miner LIbrary.
