Organ procurement is a world-wide concern. There exist insufficient donors, and thousands who could be saved are dying daily. One potential solution is "presumed consent," which stipulates that upon death, the deceased is presumed to have given consent to have his viable organs donated to a person in need. A provocative and relevant topic cloaked within an adventure, Presumed Consent leads investment advisor Jon Levine, physician Alyssa Martin, and FBI agent Matthew Johnson to become ensnared in a series of adventures which embroil them in the issue. The three travel first to a Chilean offshore island where a reclusive American-trained transplantologist operates, then to several dialysis centers in Florida, and finally to an obscure transplant hospital in Bolivia. Unexpectedly, Levine and Johnson are offered the opportunity to play golf with the President, as a result of which both are appointed Presidential Advisors. Ultimately, this allows Alyssa the opportunity to make a presentation directly to the President himself, espousing the concept of presumed consent.

Did God have a beard when He appeared to Abraham (Gen.18:2)? Was God dressed in a satin robe when he confronted Moses and the elders of Israel (Ex. 24:9-11)? Did Isaiah see a crown on top of the head of God when he saw "the Lord, high and lifted up" (Isaiah 6:1)? Why did God not appear as a woman to these men, or as a little child? Why did Paul or Peter not experience God in the same way as Moses?Finding the answers to these questions is part of the complex problem associated with explaining an experience of God. Whether God is experienced as a man with a beard, dressed in a robe and crown, and not as a little child or a woman is governed by the rationality within which this experience occurs. This explains why God is not presented in the New Testament as appearing to Paul or Peter like he appeared to Abraham, Moses, or Isaiah. Different rationalities are at work which represent different ways of thinking about God. This rationality also determines whether a specific experience is considered a genuine experience of God, an illusion about God, or a delusion. How to discern one from another embodies the essential character of theological activity. This book provides a way to discern this distinction in explaining the experience of God.

In Emotions, Luck, and the Myth of Momentum, the second volume in his The Golfing Brain series, psychiatrist and golfer James H. Grubbs once again draws from the latest brain science to offer new insights on what works (and what doesn''t work) in the quest for successful golf. If it''s common knowledge that our unconscious mind "runs the show," asks the author, why would a golfer use conscious techniques to overcome unconscious obstacles to good golf? He explains why techniques such as previsualizing good shots, "faking it till you make it," or trying to suppress fear and anxiety can undermine performance in golf rather than promote it.
