DOWNLOAD EBOOKNursing involves skill, judgment, compassion, and respect for human life whether or not the nurse is a Christian. Is there anything distinctive, then, about Christian nurses? The authors of Transforming Care address the question of how Christian faith molds nursing practice. Suggesting that such faith entails something more essential than evangelism or a certain position on moral dilemmas, they deal with the ordinary, everyday nature of nursing practice. The first part of the book articulates the relationship between Christian faith and nursing practice while analyzing the concepts of nursing, person, environment, and health common to nursing literature. The second part describes and evaluates nursing practice in three different health care contexts: acute care settings, mental health facilities, and community care contexts. Sidebars throughout the book offer thought-provoking quotations from well-known authors and nursing experts. Contributors: Cheryl Brandsen Bart Cusveller Mary Molewyk Doornbos Mary Flikkema Ruth E.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere is a great need for church nurses to render services in their assembly and community in the Name of the Lord; God wants us to love and serve Him as well as others. For "What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefit toward me?" (Psalm 116:12) Enclosed in this book is significant information concerning the gift of church nursing (for those implementing a nurse's guild or working on a nurse's guild) from the perspective of the author who has been a church nurse for over 30 years and a professional nurse for 27.5 years. The author contends as faithful stewards of God's Grace, each of us should use our gifts granted to us from God, to serve Him and others (1 Peter 4:10; paraphrased). The text expounds on the development, the purpose, the duties, the skills, the regalia, the need, servicing the community, and much more concerning church nursing. An intercessory prayer of the author is that God continue to bless church nurses all around the world as they serve in their assemblies, and that they continue to ." . . serve one another humbly in love" (Galatians 5:13).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe real crisis in medicine today is not about economics, insurance, or managed care--it's about the loss of the fundamental human relationship between doctor and patient. In this wise and passionate book, one of our most eminent physicians reacquaints us with a classic notion often overlooked in modern medicine: health care with a human face, in which the time-honored art of healing guides doctors in their approach to patient care and their use of medical technology. Drawing on four decades of practice as a cardiologist and a vast knowledge of literature and medical history, Dr. Lown probes the heart and soul of the doctor-patient relationship. Insightful and accessible to all, The Lost Art of Healing describes how true healers use sympathetic listening and touch to hone their diagnostic skills, how language affects the perception of illness, how doctors and patients can cultivate a relationship of trust, and how patients can obtain the most complete and beneficial care through a combination of healing techniques and conventional practices. As Dr. Lown explains, the art of healing does not mean abandoning the spectacular advances of modern science, but rather incorporating them into a sensitive, humane, enlightened approach to medical care. With its urgent message and poignant, fascinating vignettes, The Lost Art of Healing is a book of vital, universal importance.
