I have many, many, many new titles added to this list! Also included are the books remaining from the last list some with lowered prices. And, I also have some dupes from the last list either because I had duplicates or because someone had said they wanted the books, I held them for them, and they never paid. So, I am putting them back on the list. Many of my books are hardbacks. I feel they are better in the long run especially if you are using your books as a lending library to the ladies your serve. I have listed these alphabetically this time as it makes it easier for me to keep track of them. However, any title that starts with "The" is under the t's. I want you ladies to know that I appreciate your kind words towards us as we prepare for our move this summer. Besides this list that I've been typing for you, I have also been typing a separate list of our homeschooling books, and music books! You just cannot imagine the quantity of books this family of 6 has accumulated.

I will accept PayPal and personal checks.

What Women Really Want to Know
by Ruth S. Jacobowitz

 

"The hormone changes associated with menopause may affect up to three hundred different body processes. And while menopause is a natural transition, each woman experiences it differently. That's why this book is vital. It is a woman-to-woman guide that answers 150 essential questions about menopause, authored by a talented medical writer whose lectures have helped more than twenty thousand women take control of their health at mid-life. Based on national surveys and on questionnaires from ten thousand women, the book shares the latest medical research in straightforward language, and it is filled with real-life examples that guide and inspire. Ruth Jacobowitz's own distressing menopause experience spurred her to help other women avoid the same fate. Here she answers queries ranging from important basics ("What are the signs and symptoms of menopause?") to the more complex ("Is it safe to take estrogen?"); from questions of heart-health ("Does estrogen therapy really help prevent heart attacks?") to the heart-felt ("Sex used to be great. What happened?"); and everything in between ("Will vitamin E help my hot flashes?" "How can I find the right doctor?" "What else can I do to stay in my prime?"). She also reveals surprising news about how men feel about menopause, and clarifies the wide array of treatment options. Engaging and medically up-to-the-minute, this book is a reassuring guide for women at this profound, sometimes unsettling, milestone of life."

ALL GROWN UP and NO PLACE TO GO: Teenagers in Crisis
by David Elkind (author of The Hurried Child)

 

All Grown Up and No Place to Go spotlights the pressures on teenagers to grow up quickly. The resulting problems range from common alienation to self-destructive behavior. Quoting teenagers themselves, Elkind shows why adolescence is a time of "thinking in a new key," and how young people need this time to get used to the social and emotional changes their new thinking brings. Many of his ideas, such as the "imaginary audience" that makes teens so self-conscious, have become seminal in adolescent psychology. In this thoroughly revised edition, Elkind also explores the "post-modern family" in which teenagers are growing up. He helps parents and those who work with youth understand teens in crucial ways, because the root of so many adolescent frictions is the gap between what teenagers need and what our culture provides.

Though focusing for the most part on basic prenatal, birthing and developmental counseling, the book goes well beyond the minimum standard expected. For example, in the chapter ``Pregnancy and Ongoing Medical Conditions,'' the contributors discuss the effects of AIDS and herpes on pregnancy; an entire chapter is devoted to the medical, psychological and bureaucratic aspects of adoption; another counsels mothers on when and how to return to their jobs after childbirth."

MIRACLE FOOD CURES FROM THE BIBLE
Unlock the Miraculous Healing Power of Foods from the Bible
by Reese Dubin

 

In an illuminating guide to timeless remedies from the Old and New Testaments, this book offers readers a look to the Bible to heal the body and soul.

 

"This book is sort of a compilation of natural remedies taken from other similar books, with their permission of course, such as Secrets of The Chinese Herbalists, Miracle Medicine Foods, Miracle Medicine Herbs and a number of others, including some by John Heinerman. So you're getting a lot of great information from many books with out having to buy them all. Included are references to scientific studies when appropriate, written in an easy to understand style, when remedies are discussed along with many personal testimonials, which I always enjoy reading. Many if not all of the foods and herbs discussed are indeed mentioned in the Bible with numerous scriptures given where they are. There is an excellent index in the back which can be used to look up a condition and see what foods, herbs etc. can be beneficial for it or you can look up a food or herb and see a list of conditions they can be used for. This is very handy. A whole host of conditions are covered from arthritis, cancer, high blood pressure, cholesterol, ulcers, infections and many more too numerous to mention."

MOTHER-DAUGHTER WISDOM
Creating a Legacy of Physical and Emotional Health
by Christiane Northrup, M.D.

 

It's a rare book that delivers so completely on such a broad promise. Mother-Daughter Wisdom is written to connect the dots between a number of separate parts: logical and emotional morality, physical and mental health, friends and family, and in an overarching sense, the relationship between being a woman's daughter and raising a daughter of your own.

Author Dr. Christiane Northup (Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom) seamlessly blends personal stories with clear research in a way that creates a compelling read from start to finish, even if the specific topic isn't necessarily one that concerns you. Information is a welcome mix of old school medical advice and new school nutrition and stress relief. In Northup's world, whole foods and loving communication can play just as important roles as antibiotics.

 

The book is categorized somewhat loosely by age, beginning with pregnancy and labor, and continuing through infancy, childhood, adolescence and young adulthood. Each section is quite specifically tuned to relating to daughters: Mothers of sons will get some use out of sections on breastfeeding but emotional concerns and physical recommendations are tailor-made for women and girls, right down to the resource guide that ends the book.

 

Applying the unique holistic approach that made Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause such transforming forces in the lives of millions of readers, Dr. Northrup has created an uplifting, enlightening, entirely new map of female development. Mother-Daughter Wisdom blends soulful truths with groundbreaking clinical discoveries to help women of all ages thoroughly rebuild their health. Whether coming to terms with a painful memory, letting go of harmful beliefs about themselves, or celebrating the love that is passed down from mother to daughter, generation after generation, readers of this book will come to see this intimate bond in a completely new light.

ONE TINY HOPE
A Journal to My Adopted Child
by Kari Gilliam Palmer

 

Moving memoir offers insight into emotions surrounding adoption.

 

From the very first page, this compelling exploration of infertility and adoptions issues captivates readers. In journal style addressed to her future adopted child, Palmer writes candidly about her experiences and feelings while traveling the often rough road from infertility to adoption.

 

Although there are many books available that explain the adoption process, this one explores instead the emotional issues prospective adoptive parents must face. It is not a how-to for adoption, but rather a story of how one woman deals first with infertility and its impact on her marriage, then with the pursuit of adoption, despite overwhelming odds.

 

In this book, you'll learn:
- About the dark side of the adoption world and how to avoid it.
- Some of the myths surrounding birth mothers.
- That carrying a baby to term does not necessarily equate to love for a child.
- How important perseverance and hope are go the adoption process.

PLEASE DON'T TELL MY PARENTS
Answers for Kids in Crises
by Dawson McAllister

 

...I've lost my virginity....
...My parents kept telling me how worthless I am...
...I want to die...
...I'm tired of al the hangovers...
...My father raped me...

 

When others won't or don't listen - or you just can't tell them - this book provides a listening ear and a word of hope. It's based on real letters from real kids around the country. And it's about the kind of tough, painful questions you or someone you know are facing right now - things like: sex, drugs and alcohol, the occult, abusive parents, messed-up and broken families, loneliness, suicide.

 

For these and other painful situations Dawson McAllister offers loving, open-eyed answers that pull no punches, answers based on the conviction that only Christ an his love offer any real hope. That love - applied practically and powerfully - is his focus when he writes, "No matter what you do, don't give up. Don't give up on yourself. You are far too important and special. God loves you, and He has a bright future for you. You watch and see."

SURVIVING CHILDHOOD CANCER
A Guide for Families
by Margot Joan Fromer

 

This book is intended for children who have the disease and for their families. Not just mothers and fathers, but brothers and sisters too, for they are as severely affected - in a different way - as the patients themselves. It is also for grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends. The outlook for children with cancer has improved greatly in the past several decades. Still, cancer in a child is an overwhelming experience for a family. Surviving Childhood Cancer: A Guide for Families describes the illness, its treatment, and how it changes the lives of both the child with cancer and his or her family. Although there is no simple recipe for survival, there are ways to make the experience of cancer more bearable. Written with great sensitivity and understanding, this book provides practical advice about how to cope with emotions and stress; how to handle communication about the illness with the child as well as with family members, friends, classmates, employers, and others; where to obtain information and help; and how to develop honest and trusting relationships with medical caregivers. Interwoven throughout the text are many insightful and inspirational stories of those who have faced and survived cancer; through these, the reader learns how others have not only gotten through the ordeal but also emerged from it stronger and more aware of what is truly important in life.

TEACHING YOUR CHILDREN VALUES
by Linda and Richard Eyre

One of the greatest gifts you can give your children is a strong sense of personal values. Helping your children develop values such as honesty, self-reliance, and dependability is as important a part of their education as teaching them to read or how to cross the street safely. The values you teach your children are their best protection from the influences of peer pressure and the temptations of consumer culture. With their own values clearly defined, your children can make their own decisions -- rather than imitate their friends or the latest fashions. In Teaching Your Children Values Linda and Richard Eyre present a practical, proven, month-by-month program of games, family activities, and value-building exercises for kids of all ages.

THE 7 STAGES of MOTHERHOOD
Making the Most of Your Life as a Mom
by Ann Pleshette Murphy

 

"Motherhood is the ultimate transformation, a powerful and thrilling metamorphosis. Yet the vast majority of parenting books focus on the how-tos of baby and child care, not on the care or development of mothers. Looks at the emotional lives of mothers, at how we change and grow from the moment we get pregnant to the day we watch our kids graduate from high school.

The 7 Stages of Motherhood urges women to reflect on the seismic shifts they undergo at each stage of their children's lives and to focus on their own evolution. Only by doing so, says Murphy, can we give children the best of ourselves. Many new moms assume that once things "get back to normal," they'll jump right back on their pre-baby path. But there's no going back, according to Murphy, and that's actually good news. Each stage of motherhood has its own challenges and opportunities. Motherhood forces us to hone muscles we never knew we had; to question our choices and goals; to reshape our relationships with family, friends, our spouses; and, most important, to rethink who we are and where we're going. There's as much circling, sliding, falling back as there is surging ahead--and Murphy provides exactly the encouragement women need to overcome obstacles and celebrate their strengths. Writing with wit, warmth, and unfailing empathy about the challenges mothers face at each stage, Murphy offers insightful advice and gentle reassurance, showing moms how to make the most of their lives as they raise their children.

 

Murphy offers women invaluable advice about how to cope and how to thrive along with their children. She identifies periods of particular intensity in a mother's life and provides indispensable tips about how to manage at each stage, from the roller-coaster ride of early childhood through the ambiguities of adolescence and the tumult of the teen years. The 7 Stages of Motherhood is an exuberant, joyful, not-to-be-missed journey, full of life-changing insights and affirming wisdom and support: a buoyant contribution to the literature of maternity and self-discovery."

THE AMERICAN WAY of BIRTH
by Jessica Mitford

 

Mitford's probe into American obstetrics as well as the hospitals, clinics, and welfare agencies that supervise the prenatal care and births of American babies results in an indictment of the medical practices surrounding something that should not make us sick--giving birth.
She shows us how and in what circumstances Americans give birth. At the start, she knew no more of the subject, and not less, than any mother does. Recalling her experiences in the 1930's and 1940's of giving birth - in London, in Washington, D.C., and in Oakland, California - she observes, "A curious amnesia takes over in which all memory of the discomforts you have endured is wiped out, and your determination never, ever to do that again fast fades." But then, years later in 1989 - when her own children were adults, and birth a subject of no special interest to her - she meet a young woman, a midwife in Northern California who was being harassed by government agents and the medical establishment. Her sympathies, along with her reportorial instincts, were immediately stirred. There was a story there that needed to be explored and revealed. Far more than she anticipated then, she was at the beginning of an investigation that would lead her over the next three years to the writing of this extraordinary book. This is not a book about the miracle of life. It is about the role of money and politics in a lucrative industry; a saga of champagne birthing suites for the rich and desperate measures for the poor. It is a colorful history - from the torture and burning of midwives in medieval times, through the absurd pretensions of the modest Victorian age, to this century's vast succession of anaesthetic, technological, and "natural" birthing fashions. And it is a comprehensive indictment of the politics of birth and national health. Jessica Mitford explores conventional and alternative methods, and the costs of having a child. She gives flesh-and-blood meaning to the cold statistics. Daring to ask hard questions and skeptical of soft answers.

THE MOZART EFFECT
Tapping the power of music to heal the body, strengthen the mind, and unlock the creative spirit.
by Don Campbell

 

Anyone who has ever seen a two-year-old start bouncing to a beat knows that music speaks to us on a very deep level. But it took celebrated teacher and music visionary Don Campbell to show us just how deep, with his landmark book The Mozart Effect. Stimulating, authoritative, and often lyrical, The Mozart Effect has a simple but life-changing message: music is medicine for the body, the mind, and the soul. Campbell shows how modern science has begun to confirm this ancient wisdom, finding evidence that listening to certain types of music can improve the quality of life in almost every respect. Here are dramatic accounts of how music is used to deal with everything from anxiety to cancer, high blood pressure, chronic pain, dyslexia, and even mental illness. Always clear and compelling, Campbell recommends more than two dozen specific, easy-to-follow exercises to raise your spatial IQ, "sound away" pain, boost creativity, and make the spirit sing!

The Wellness Book reflects the cutting edge of health care, giving you the opportunity to gain more control over your own well-being. Use of the book, in combination with modern medical treatments, will aid in prevention and treatment of a number of illnesses and, according to USA Today, "legitimizes the mind/body connection in traditional medicine."

 

The editors and their associates at the Mind/Body Medical Institute of the New England Deaconess Hospital and Harvard Medical School hope to make their ``experience in treating chronic and stress-related symptoms available to those not able to attend'' their Boston-based behavioral medicine clinics. In 24 chapters, the reader is ``introduced to the essentials of healthy lifestyle, including the relaxation response, nutrition, exercise, and stress management.'' The workbook format includes short patient histories, space for write-in exercises and personal data, charts, and diagrams. Overall, this material is also covered in greater detail and a better format in the Wellness Encyclopedia ( LJ 2/15/91); the more personalized log in The Wellness Book makes it most appropriate for individual purchase.

WHY WOMEN NEED CHOCOLATE
Eat What You Crave to Look and Feel Great
by Debra Waterhouse
 
Food cravings are a result of brain chemistry rather than appetite--and in the basic difference between genders. Now, the best selling author of Outsmarting the Female Fat Cell offers a sound, five-week, five-point plan that shows women how to create a sensible eating regimen which anticipates and incorporates cravings for maximum mood management.

 

Debra Waterhouse, a bestselling author & nutritionist, has conducted groundbreaking research that shows that chocolate is the number-one craved food among women. And she has found that sensibly indulging your craving for chocolate or any other food is better than depriving yourself. Thats because contrary to popular belief, food cravings are not a problem to be treated. When you carefully give in to cravings, you can actually improve your mood, lift your spirits &, in the long run, develop sensible eating patterns. She teaches the food-mood connection that helps women lose weight, boost energy, & maximize mood-elevating brain chemicals.

 

...explains why the female biology triggers a need for chocolate and other foods—and shows how women can enhance emotional and physical well-being by feeding their hunger for these foods! Through Waterhouse's five-step plan, you'll maximize your mood-elevating brain chemicals, boost energy, lose weight, and learn how to satisfy your food cravings without guilt or overeating!
