Today blacks live five to seven fewer years than whites. Black infant mortality is 2.2 times that of whites. Blacks lead in death rates in 14 of 16 leading diseases, many preventable. Diabetes is 33% more common in blacks, and cancer mortality has increased 50% for blacks since 1950 but only 10% for whites. Breakthroughs such as vaccinations, invasive cardiac procedures, cancer therapies, MRIs, and organ transplants have dramatically improved the health of Americans in the last century, but health care for African Americans has been dangerously deficient, even unavailable. An American Health Dilemma is the first comprehensive history to explore African Americans' disadvantages in the area of health. In the highly anticipated volume two, Byrd and Clayton complete the story begun in the first volume, bringing us from the turn of the century to the health-care disparities that persist. Clayton argues that health-care racism is a systematic culturally embedded problem that in the last hundred years has been marked by small gains, disastrous setbacks, and a passive acceptance of African Americans as a permanent health underclass. Even steps forward in the 1960's, they maintain, didn't do enough to change the present situation.
A monumental and original work of scholarship, An American Health Dilemma will be the essential reference about black medical health experience for years to come.

Deal with Hurt or the Hurt will Deal with You, offers as 12-step process to forgiveness and seeks to set people free from past hurts. Dr. Byrd has found through research and counseling, harboring unforgiveness traps the individual into self-defeating behaviors. This can impact important relationships including marriage, parenting and workplace dynamics. His book gently guides the reader to discover and uncover areas of their lives where this is applicable, and provides a practical guide to forgiveness and freedom. "People who are hurting, hurt themselves and those around them," he writes. "I have found that some people have difficulty moving beyond hurts or forgiving others, as well as themselves. This book can help individuals, families and congregations. Many churches and communities are filled with angry, bitter Christians due to unresolved hurts. Although many are new creatures in Christ, their actions and behaviors may continue to be motivated by past hurts."

Paul W. Carlin, Th.D, Ph.D. of The Therapon Institute. (An Christian counseling licensing and certification institution) writes theology and spiritual growth has grown since the 1990's. Christian counselors and clinicians now point to forgiveness as a useful and necessary part of the wounded person's healing process. Counseling, Forgiveness is overcoming of negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors not by denying the offense or the right to be hurt or angry, but by viewing the offender with acceptance ( if not compassion) so that the forgiver can be healed. Forgiveness is not denial or indifference, pardon, reconciliation, condoning, excusing, passive forgetting, weakness, or an interpersonal game. Forgiveness in do way cancels the crime, but it works to take care of the distortions caused by the unhealthy aspects of anger and resentment so that the person may achieve peace of mind and body. has imparted revelation truth in a simple and organized format that will be extremely helpful. Now, with the introduction of Michael's book, forgiveness focus groups, can become a reality. The work is Biblical and unforgiveness. Marriages fail, churches crumble and lives are eventually emotionally destroyed because of unforgiveness. Washed up on the beaches of rescue missions and the streets of our large cities are mentally impaired people who were drowned in the sea of unforgiveness. Carlin, Th.D, Ph.D.
