Serials and Scenarios ~Health Care You Can Live With

The health care system may be a mess—

but you don’t have to be

Your health and wellness belong to you—and you alone. While it’s true that doctors and the health care system play a role in your care, they’re only one part of true wellness. If you’re ready to venture into real health, read this book.

Dr. Scott Morris, founder of the church Health Center in Memphis, TN—the largest faith-based clinic of its kind in the United States—shows how your physical health is being affected by your spiritual well being.


In Health Care You Can Live With, Dr. Morris explains how

• health care went wrong

• the church offers real answers

• you can take charge of your own wellness


Showing that healing—both physical and spiritual—is a key aspect of the Christian faith, Health Care You Can Live With provides an understandable framework for wellness and the encouraging real-life stories of those who found a better life within the overarching love of God.

With twenty years as a family practice physician serving a diverse population in Memphis, the nation’s poorest major city, Morris is uniquely experienced in the challenges of our health care system today and Health Care You Can Live With offers a surprising behind-the-scenes visit into the troubles we are currently facing around the issues of health care and health care reform. With a thoughtful yet candid approach, Morris invites the reader to question what we really know about health care. Who does our health care system serve, and what does it do or not do for others? Do we even know what medical research is really accomplishing? With clarity, Morris informs the reader, drawing from history, current research, and personal stories taken from the thousands of patients he has cared for, and equips the reader with both practical and valuable knowledge.

My Thoughts. None, other than the book intrigued me. I've really become more and more aware of what you don't know, do, or don't do can subtract quality of life. In an effort to baby-step towards health vs careen into a disease cocktail, I've made a lot of lifestyle changes. Working in a physician's office is a wake up call. Every year that I work there opens my eyes further. So when I was offered this book to review I jumped on it. Now. I just need to read it. And when I do I'll update this and post a review at Lunch and Amazon, too.

Summary

(San Jose, CA) Has that rush to make (and break) New Year’s resolutions already waned? According to Daniel Pink, author of Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, taking small steps every day will not only help you stay committed to your goal, but will also help you ultimately achieve that goal when obstacles come up. Author Kathi Lipp wants you and your friends to live out those dreams—and have some fun along the way.

As women, we forget the goals and dreams of our younger years. The busyness of everyday life gets in the way. To-do lists replace goals. The Me Project provides women with fun and creative ways to bring back the sense of purpose and vitality that comes with living out the plans and dreams God has planted in our hearts. Kathi Lipp’s warm tone and laugh-out-loud humor motivates women to take daily steps toward intentional goals. The end result? We get back our lives and enjoy living in the confidence of a purposeful life in spite of our chaotic schedules.

This handy guide coaches women to do one simple thing toward achieving our goals each day for three weeks. A woman experiencing the exhilaration of a rediscovered life offers more as a wife, mother, friend, volunteer, career woman.

Finding the balance between living day-to-day with purpose while pursuing the passions God has placed in our hearts is a delicate pursuit. In this refreshing, insightful book, Kathi lays out a doable plan that makes sense and helps make our God-given dreams a reality. Never stop dreaming, because women who dare to dream do make the world a better place.

My Review:

I hadn't read Kathi Lipp before I received the review copy of The Me Project. Kathi is an engaging author who doesn't hide her humanity behind a glossy mask of perfection.

I began reading this "how-to" because I'm drawn to the books that are designed to help me to become a better me. At first the Me Project came across as self-help more so that God-influenced. But as I got into the nitty-gritty of the different daily projects I began to feel the pull of conviction and challenge to stop and ask God what He would like me to work on, and to take an inventory of my dreams.

I will continue to work on this process. I did choose to adapt her initial suggestion to think toward a tighter time frame with a shorter to-do list. I think Kathi wouldn't have an issue with my choice. I am not completely through the book yet, and am still mulling over which 21 Day project will be my focus. If you looking for a little push or for a project to do with a few friends, the Me Project would be a terrific resource.
