become a little more excited about life. He is an inspiring man
permeated by joy, unafraid of sorrow, full of vitality and life!
His sense of humor is infectious and so is his story.He grew up, he
says, at 'belt-buckle level' and stayed there until Kevan's beloved
posse decided to leave his wheelchair at the Atlanta airport, board
a plane for France, and have his friends carry him around Europe to
accomplish their dream to see the world together! Kevan's beloved
posse traveled to Paris, England, and Ireland where, in the climax
of their adventure, they scale 600 feet up to the 1,400-year-old
monastic fortress of Skellig Michael.In WE CARRY KEVAN the reader
sits with Kevan, one head-level above everyone else for the first
time in his life and enjoys camaraderie unlike anything most people
ever experience. Along the way they encounter the curiosity and
beauty of strangers, the human family disarmed by grace, and the
constant love of God so rich and beautiful in the company of good
friends. WE CARRY KEVAN displays the profound power of friendship
and self-sacrifice.
Andrew T. Still's thorough account of osteopathic medicine details
the discoveries and cases which contributed to the development of
osteopathy. Written and published at the end of the nineteenth
century, Philosophy of Osteopathy is a manual which attempts to
overview the major aspects of the osteopathic discipline. Although
much of Still's understanding is outdated in comparison to modern
medicine, his accessible descriptions made this book a valuable
reference text for aspiring osteopaths and physiotherapists for
many years following its original publication. Chapters generally
concern distinct areas of the body, as well as some theoretical
questions which - at the time - hadn't received an answer. Andrew
T. Still regards good osteopathy as an art form, and thus does not
shy away from a passionate tone during parts of the text. Unusual
subjects, such as the uses of earwax and the possibility that man
has undergone a slow decline in his bodily resilience, lend color
to the book.
