An Everyday Miracle

In February 2015, everything changed in an instant for Jennifer Muszik. One moment she had a healthy, loving husband who embraced his role as stay-at-home dad for their three children. ¬The next moment, she was dealing with a shocking reality: Paul was on life support and the doctors did not think he would make it through the next hour—much less the night. Jennifer soon learned Paul was suffering from toxic shock syndrome and hung precariously between life and death while she helplessly watched. As family arrived for what they believed would be their last moments together with Paul, Jennifer realized she had a choice to make: either focus on the dire prognosis or focus on God and pray for Him to heal her husband. Jennifer fixed her eyes on God and engaged their community to pray with her on their journey. And what happened next was nothing short of an everyday miracle. In this moving story, a wife and mother shares how she prayed God would save her husband from almost certain death and, in the process, illustrated to others that He is always there, no matter how di cult the circumstances.

Delivering babies, caring for women, a lifetime's work: an open, honest, and sometimes controversial account of a 40 year career as an obstetrician and gynecologist in a maternity ward.

Salt is essential for life. We simply cannot exist without it. Too little and we're in trouble, too much and we’re in even bigger trouble. It's amazing to think that such a simple, everyday substance like salt can have such a dramatic impact on our health and well-being... but it does. In this book, you will discover all there is to know about this unique, natural substance and the health benefits that can be derived from the correct use of natural salt. This book is written in three sections. Section 1: all about salt, including the health benefits and the dangers, salt inhalers, blood pressure, salt baths, salt water, hidden salts, salt in cooking, sea salt, natural alternatives to salt, and much more. Section 2: discusses Himalayan salt lamps and their health benefits, and also includes a really useful buyer’s guide. Section 3: covers cooking using salt blocks and advice about their care… AND also includes 12 fabulous recipes! “After reading an internet article about salt, I thought I would do some research of my own, so I got this book and I’m so glad I did. Packed full of information, I read it from cover to cover. Couldn’t put it down. Very well written. I loved it. Highly recommended.” Jennifer Boardman “I was encouraged to get this book by a work colleague who was horrified by the amount of salt I added to my meals at lunchtime. A real eye-opener to say the least. I learned so much and I would definitely recommend it.” David Aspinall “The section about salt is well worth the purchase price alone, but on top of that, you get another section on Himalayan salt lamps, and yet another section on salt cooking blocks… including recipes! Probably one of the best value books you’ll ever buy!” Jessica Finch

Explores miracles as dimensions of everyday existence through the lens of religious naturalism. Miracles are usually regarded as an intrusion of a supernatural force upsetting the normal workings and laws of the universe, but if one is attentive to the natural world, one can instead find miracles beneath the surface of everyday existence. This outlook is part of Donald A. Crosby’s religious naturalism, which he terms Religion of Nature, a belief system that posits the natural world to be the only world, without any underlying or transcending supernatural being, presence, or power. In The Extraordinary in the Ordinary, Crosby explores seven types of everyday miracles, such as time, language, and love, to show that the miraculous and ordinary are not opposed to each other. Rather, it is when we acknowledge the sacred depths and dimensions of everyday existence that we recognize the miracles that constantly surround us. Donald A. Crosby is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Colorado State University and the author of many books, including The Thou of Nature: Religious Naturalism and Reverence for Sentient Life; More Than Discourse: Symbolic Expressions of Naturalistic Faith; and Nature as Sacred Ground: A Metaphysics for Religious Naturalism, all published by SUNY Press.
