About the BookAlfred C. Chu suffered a stroke when he was 28 years old. Not many people suffer a stroke at such a young age and not many live to tell their story. The causes were a combination of a skin condition he was born with called Psoriasis, a virus he contracted called "superbug", and the medication Cyclosporine. Enclosed are the memories of his tragic experience that includes knowledge he gained about the human body, certain medications, diet, exercise, and his outlook towards life before and during this experience. Along with his stroke were two life threatening comas. The first coma lasted for three weeks and the second lasted one week. Included with his stroke were over a dozen surgeries on various parts in his body, most of which were in the area around his left hip joint. What makes his story even more tragic is that not all people who suffer a stroke require surgery. All these surgeries have confined him to a wheelchair, but there's still the possibility of him walking slowly with a leg brace, a cane, a walker, or crutches. If it's possible, he is not going to give up. As of December 2019, he's living in Taiwan for medical treatment and physical therapy.About the AuthorAlfred C.

Once upon a time there was a Nice Church with a lot of nice people. Over time a problem developed. The Council of the Nice Church became pervasive in its effect (having control over people and events), yet nowhere in its responsibility (not being accountable or accepting blame). The Council's actions, its pattern and practice, made it particularly unapproachable and difficult to interact with. This made nice people feel left out and betrayed. The Nice Church also failed to adequately serve its community. In Two Books in One, author Charlie Jack Dean presents to us auction material, which is based on facts about auctioneers and auction business, and also church material, which is based on his disillusion with churches, but not necessarily with religion itself.

People think the Irish eat nothing other than corned beef and cabbage. There are those who suggest an eight-course Irish dinner is two potatoes and a six-pack. Nothing could be further from the truth! Having grown tired of people making fun of what the Irish eat, author John Camblin composed Potatoes with Everything II, a collection of real, and delicious, recipes that the people of Ireland really eat in their homes and restaurants. About the AuthorJohn Camblin was born in August 1941 in the city of Armagh in the province of Ulster. He was educated at Belfast Royal Academy and went to medical school at the Queens University at Belfast. While an intern, he told the kitchen staff at the hospital where he worked that the food was not as well prepared as it should be. Their response was "Here are the raw ingredients. See if you can do it better yourself." So he did-for both himself and all of the intern staff. In 1975, Camblin immigrated to the U.S., became a citizen, and served in the Florida Air National Guard and U.S. Air Force Reserves as a flight surgeon. He was also a civilian pilot and flight instructor for a time. He is married and lives with his wife, two dogs, and a fifty-year-old parrot. He still does most of his cooking at home. His wife, Cecelia, says, "I encourage him all I can since he is a better cook!"
