Healing Hope  A groundbreaking gift book of illustrated original aphorisms with succinct explanations. You'll see how to tap into specific hopes that help you take effective action when you can, and help you wait when there's nothing more you can do.  Your focus on healing hope helps you get good care and live as fully as possible today, tomorrow and every day. 

Happiness in a Storm   Practical philosophy and science-based knowledge help you get good care and find some happiness while dealing with a medical challenge. You’ll learn how to set the stage for the miracle of physical healing by (1) obtaining sound knowledge, (2) nourishing realistic hope and (3) taking effective action.

When a Parent Has Cancer with Becky and the Worry Cup Awarded the 2006 Consumer Book Award by the American Journal of Nursing, this book set combines a book for adults with an illustrated children's book. Together, they offer information, advice and inspiration for dealing with the many issues that arise when a parent (or other important adult in the life of a child) is ill. 

After Cancer This reader-friendly guide helps you through the medical, emotional and practical issues that arise during the months and years following completion of cancer treatment. Written in a clear and concise question-and-answer format, After Cancer guides you to good follow-up care and helps you create a "new normal" that is the best it can be—in certain ways, even better than before. 

Diagnosis: Cancer This classic work has helped tens of thousands of cancer patients and their families through the challenges of diagnosis, evaluation and treatment. The third edition includes “Harpham’s Decision Tool,” a unique chart for helping you decide on your best course of treatment. This book educates and inspires people who are dealing with a new diagnosis—a first-time cancer diagnosis or a recurrence, as well as those who are in the middle of treatment.

Only 10 Seconds to Care Engaging and inspiring short stories encourage you to think and talk about everyday problems in patient care. Patients benefit from a rare view of the challenges that their healthcare team faces when providing expert and compassionate care. Clinicians benefit from an inside view of the struggles of their patients.
