Backache, Stress, and Tension


Book Description

Today’s busy world provides too much stress and not enough time for exercise. Instead of walking, running, and doing physical chores, we sit for hours at a desk, use machines to do work for us, and drive a car for even the shortest trips. As a result, more than sixty-five million Americans experience back pain, neck stiffness, and tension headaches. Dr. Kraus explains the causes of back pain and tells you what you can do to prevent and alleviate it. He presents six simple tests to determine whether you have the strength to carry your own body weight and the flexibility to match your height. According to Dr. Kraus, if you fail any one of these tests, you are underexercised or overtensed, and the odds are high that if you don’t already suffer from back pain, you will in the future. Dr. Kraus provides various approaches to back and tension problems, the primary focus being a series of carefully planned exercises to strengthen the whole body and to correct specific physical deficiencies. Featuring a foreword by Robert H. Boyle, Backache, Stress, and Tension is an essential handbook for everyone in today’s overworked, overstressed world.




Say Goodbye to the Pain of the Past


Book Description

Protector, provider, confidant, husband, leader, spiritual head, my rock, the love of my life, handyman, king, soldier, superman; these are all positive adjectives that can describe a man. It is easy to believe that men have it all figured out and have it all together until you realize they don't. One tends to forget that men have issues too. This book will give you a glimpse into the lives of eight men who have dealt with some serious issues that have often times made them feel weak, broken down, and inadequate yet they called upon The Lord to guide them back onto solid ground. These men have prided themselves on the scripture 1 Corinthians 10:13 which says, "13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." (NIV) There is nothing too big for our Lord. Each testimony will allow one to see what these men think about their relationship with God, what their lives were like without God, how they see themselves as husbands, and what their most valuable lesson in life has been thus far. Buy this book to realize that you are not alone, not only do you have other men, but you have God: your Creator and Father.
