"Duty and Healing" positions ethical issues commonly encountered in clinical situations within Jewish law. The concept of duty is significant in exploring bioethical issues, and this book presents an authentic and non-parochial Jewish approach to bioethics, while it includes critiques of both current secular and Jewish literatures. Among the issues the book explores are the role of family in medical decision-making, the question of informed consent as a personal religious duty, and the responsibilities of caretakers. The exploration of contemporary ethical problems in healthcare through the lens of traditional sources in Jewish law is an indispensable guide of moral knowledge.

Foremost religious leaders from diverse faith communities respond to the most controversial question of our time: Can we save the earth? The answer could hinge on the phenomenon of the fast-growing interfaith religious environmental movement. The author makes the case for environmental stewardship that cuts across old divisions of faith and politics. She presents 20 fellow religious leaders and eminent scholars (from rabbis to evangelicals to Catholics, Muslims and Buddhists) each contributing an original essay-chapter, with personal stories of awakening to the urgent need for environmental awareness and action. From all parts of the religious and political spectrum, they come together to tell why caring for the earth is a spiritual mandate, giving chapter and verse and offering plans of action that go beyond the walls of religious congregations and out into the broader community.

Every day, first responders immerse themselves in the chaos and confusion of other people's very bad days. Eventually, it takes a toll. How do you handle it? Suck it up and drive on - right? But which is best: to stuff it, employ temporary coping mechanisms and self-medicate in harmful ways, or to experience actual healing and resilience from God - your Creator and Healer? This interactive manual combines best practices from the medical and mental health communities with the timeless principles from the Bible that have addressed the effects of stress and trauma for centuries. In this manual you will find step-by-step principles that will help you: -Understand how the stress and trauma you experience in the line of duty affects you physically, psychologically and spiritually. -Become intentional about creating a healing environment for yourself and your family. -Adopt therapeutic spiritual disciplines. -Process your loss and grief. -Experience the freeing influence of giving and receiving forgiveness - from God and from others. -Rebuild your identity based on what God says about you. -Strengthen yourself spiritually against future stress and trauma. -Connect with those who will support you in positive ways. -Learn how to deal with Secondary Traumatic Stress, Burnout, and Compassion Fatigue. -Understand how to help your family as they respond to your stress and trauma. -Make plans for the future as a strengthened man or woman of God. While this manual is best employed in a small group environment where group members form a cohesive unit to encourage each other along, it can be used "solo" by a motivated individual who is serious about processing their stress and trauma and moving on to strength, stability and resilience for the future.

Every firefighter is a trauma survivor. Even veteran firefighters may not realize this. But constant exposure to traumatic events takes a serious toll. The body is affected, so is the nervous system, and so are the firefighter's personal relationships. Off-duty days can become something to dread rather than look forward to. It doesn't need to be this way. This book- written by a trauma therapist from a firefighter family-is a definitive manual for healing from trauma exposure for those who serve in the fire service and for those who love them. Feeling fit, healthy and unburdened by the effects of trauma can be a short-term therapeutic process. And there are steps firefighters can take on their own, immediately. This book is a good place to start.
