It's
Not About the Bike : My
Journey Back to Life
by Lance Armstrong,
Sally Jenkins (Contributor)
When Larry Burkett
got cancer, all his financial expertise couldn't help him. But his
faith in God could. In this book, Burkett reveals how he and his
family weathered this crisis and shares what any family can do when
confronted by devastating news.People around the world have found
inspiration in the story of Lance Armstrong--a world-class athlete
nearly struck down by cancer, only to recover and win the Tour de
France, the multiday bicycle race famous for its grueling intensity.
Armstrong is a thoroughgoing Texan jock, and the changes brought
to his life by his illness are startling and powerful, but he's
just not interested in wearing a hero suit. While his vocabulary
is a bit on the he-man side (highest compliment to his wife: "she's
a stud"), his actions will melt the most hard-bitten souls: a cancer
foundation and benefit bike ride, his astonishing commitment to
training that got him past countless hurdles, loyalty to the people
and corporations that never gave up on him. There's serious medical
detail here, which may not be for the faint of heart; from chemo
to surgical procedures to his wife's in vitro fertilization, you
won't be spared a single x-ray, IV drip, or unfortunate side effect.
Athletes and coaches everywhere will benefit from the same extraordinary
detail provided about his training sessions--every aching tendon,
every rainy afternoon, and every small triumph during his long recovery
is here in living color. It's Not About the Bike is the perfect
title for this book about life, death, illness, family, setbacks,
and triumphs, but not especially about the bike. --Jill Lightner

No
Such Thing As a Bad Day
by Hamilton Jordan,
Jimmy Carter
This book is
the moving account of one man's successful battles against three
cancers- non-Hodgkins lymphoma, melanoma, and prostrate cancer-
over a dozen years. In each fight for his life, Hamilton Jordan
sought out the best treatment available. But this is not ultimately
a story about medical miracles; it is a more powerful story of a
patient beating cancer by taking charge of his own battle and becoming
a full partner in his cure. Attitude and information are the critical
keys, and the book concludes with a self-help section to show others
how to follow his example.

offered the revolutionary message that we have an innate ability
to heal ourselves. Now proven by numerous scientific studies, the
connection between our minds and our bodies has been increasingly
accepted as fact throughout the mainstream medical community. In
a new introduction, Dr. Bernie Siegel highligths current research
on the relationships among consciousness, psychosocial factors,
attitude and immune function. "Love and peace of mind do protect
us," Siegel writes. "They allow us to overcome the problems that
life hands us. They teach us to survive...to live now...to have
the courage to confront each day."

Kitchen
Table Wisdom
by Rachel Naomi Remen, Dean Ornish
Philosophy and Religion Editor's Recommended Book Daily we are inundated
by stories in television, movies, and the news, and yet so few of
these stories actually make intimate, soulful connections with our
lives. An eminent physician of the heart, mind and body, Rachel
Naomi Remen establishes this connection through stories of her own
that radiate warmth and wisdom. Dr. Remen may be a scientist at
the forefront of a paradigm-shift in the Western science of medicine,
but what comes across in this moving book is a deep love for people,
an awe at the mysteries of life and a mind expansive enough to accept
all possibilities.

Amazon.com review: Sound Body, Sound Mind is a phenomenal experience.
Dr. Andrew Weil, trailblazing pioneer in the field of integrative
medicine and a bestselling author, teams with Anna Wise, a leading
authority on brain waves and healing. Together with producer-composer
Joshua Leeds, they collaborate on a peerless sound and healing experience.
Utilizing psychoacoustics, the trio has created an hour of music
chosen to enhance the listener's well-being and sense of health
by specifically addressing brain waves. On disc 1 Dr. Weil guides
the listener through a meditation followed by music based on the
themes of Bach, Brahms, Mahler, and Mozart. Combined with healing
sound frequencies, the overall effect facilitates the listener's
experience of "the deep," an encounter of complete safety and harmony.

Ten years ago,
Gregory White Smith's doctors gave him three months to live. He's
still here. Discover how he, and many others in this life-changing
book, beat the odds and survived.
The New York Times Book Review, Gina Kolata: I opened Making
Miracles Happen with skepticism. But they have managed to write
a medical miracle story that not only is gripping in the best tradition
of these tales but also steers clear of most of the pitfalls. As
I read their book, I found myself poised to start objecting....
Yet Smith and Naifeh ... met my every objection almost as soon as
I could voice it.

Tuesdays
with Morrie: An Old Man,
a Young Man, and the Last Great Lesson
by Mitch Albom
This true story
about the love between a spiritual mentor and his pupil has soared
to the bestseller list for many reasons. For starters: it reminds
us of the affection and gratitude that many of us still feel for
the significant mentors of our past. It also plays out a fantasy
many of us have entertained: what would it be like to look those
people up again, tell them how much they meant to us, maybe even
resume the mentorship? Plus, we meet Morrie Schwartz--a one of a
kind professor, whom the author describes as looking like a cross
between a biblical prophet and Christmas elf. And finally we are
privy to intimate moments of Morrie's final days as he lies dying
from a terminal illness. Even on his deathbed, this twinkling-eyed
mensch manages to teach us all about living robustly and fully.
Kudos to author and acclaimed sports columnist Mitch Albom for telling
this universally touching story with such grace and humility. --Gail
