Having doubt is part of the way we try to make sense of life. However, doubt also can become a heavy, dark cloud that obscures the light of the sun, casting shadows upon everything we do, believe, and feel. Faith is the antidote for life’s doubts—the wind that blows away the grey clouds, allowing the light to shine again on us and in us. This book is designed to help you understand your feelings of doubt and move beyond them to a light-filled vista of faith, hope, and love.

Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, S.J.

With an Undivided Heart

By: Silas Henderson

Saint Aloysius Gonzaga (1568- 1591) was a prince of the Holy Roman Empire who renounced his titles and wealth to serve God and the Church as a member of the Society of Jesus. While he lived a short life and is honored as the patron saint of youth, Saint Aloysius invites all Christians to reflect on how they are living their unique vocations to be witnesses to Christ. Using the saint's own letters and spiritual reflections, and other historical documents, this book offers unparalleled insights into his life and personality. Woven together with his biography are also portraits of other Jesuits and Reformation saints. The author explains the history of the Society of Jesus and shows how Aloysius Gonzaga played an important part in developing the Jesuit's educational apostolate. For those interested in Jesuit history, the Reformation, or simply this appealing saint, this book offers a unique perspective on an important period of Church history and what it means to pursue God's will without counting the cost.

Getting Through the Hurt

By: Silas Henderson,Francis Wagner,Keith McClellan,Ann Rohleder,Ronald Knott

Sometimes life just seems to get the best of us. The wounds can cut very deep on occasion: addiction, divorce, grief, feeling unloved and unwanted, and so many others. And the scars may never entirely heal. However, our Christian faith urges us to recall that Jesus rose from the tomb with visible but transformed wounds, demonstrating that nothing in life is wasted in the economy of God’s mercy. Getting Through the Hurt offers timely reflections on how God’s grace gently permeates our wounds to give them meaning and transforms them into the means of discovering new life. Ultimately, God asks us to trust that His goodness will secure victory over all distress, division, and death, and this book serves as a guide for that journey of faith.

Sangaya

By: Ncozana, Silas S.

Possibly the most outstanding Malawian church leader of the 1960s and 1970s was the Very Reverend Jonathan Sangaya, General Secretary of the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) Synod of Blantyre. To him fell the task of guiding his church into the post-missionary era and his dynamic leadership was a major factor in the success with which that transition was completed. This vivid biography offers many insights into the history of the church and society during his lifetime. It is a welcome addition to the literature covering the transition “from mission to church” in African Christianity, and will enable many readers to become acquainted with a great Malawian of a former generation.

Autobiography of Silas Thompson Trowbridge M.D.

Autobiography of Silas Thompson Trowbridge M.D.

By: Silas Thompson Trowbridge

Autobiography of Silas Thompson Trowbridge M.D. is a remarkable account of nineteenth-century medicine, politics, and personal life that recovers the captivating experiences of a Civil War–era regimental surgeon who was also a president of the Illinois State Medical Society and a United States consul in Mexico. First published in 1872 by Trowbridge’s family and even printed on a family-owned press, only a handful of copies of the initial publication survive. In this first paperback edition, Trowbridge’s memoirs are reprinted as they originally appeared. Indiana-born Trowbridge moved to Illinois in his early twenties. A teacher by trade, he continued that career while he began the study of medicine, eventually starting a medical practice near New Castle, which he later moved to Decatur. Though respected by the community, Trowbridge lacked an authentic medical degree, so he enrolled in a four-month course of medical lectures at Rush Medical College in Chicago. Autobiography describes the atmosphere of the medical school and delineates Trowbridge’s opinions on the lack of quality control in medical colleges of the day. Although three years of study and two annual terms of sixteen weeks were the actual requirements for the degree, Trowbridge was allowed to graduate after a single course of lectures and completion of a twenty-page thesis due to his previous experience. He then married a young widow and returned to Decatur, where he began a partnership with two local physicians and inaugurated a county medical society. In addition to practicing medicine, he was known and respected for regulating it, too, having supported legislation that would legalize dissection and prohibit incompetent persons from practicing medicine. In 1861, Trowbridge began service as a surgeon of the 8th Illinois Volunteer Infantry commanded by Colonel Richard J. Oglesby. Autobiography describes his experiences beginning in Cairo, Illinois, where the infantry was involved in several expeditions and where Trowbridge made his “debut at the operating table.” Revealing a litany of surgical duties, replete with gruesome details, these war-time recollections provide a unique perspective on medical practices of the day. Likewise, his commentaries on political issues and his descriptions of combat serve to correct some of the early written histories of the war’s great battles. After receiving an honorable discharge in 1864, Trowbridge returned to Decatur to resume his partnership with Dr. W. J. Chenoweth and devote himself to surgery. His reminiscences recount several difficult surgeries, his efforts to reorganize the county medical society (which had collapsed during the war), and his communications to the Illinois legislature to set higher qualifications for practicing physicians. He was later elected president of the Illinois State Medical Society and appointed by President Grant United States Consul to Vera Cruz on the eastern coast of Mexico, where he studied and challenged the treatment of yellow fever. The autobiography ends in 1874 with a six-day family vacation and the marriage of his daughter to a merchant of Vera Cruz.

Living in the Shadows

Finding Strength and Hope in Times of Illness

By: Silas Henderson

For one living with an illness, the world can seem an unrelenting stream of doctor’s visits, medical procedures, pain, fatigue, and isolation. And while this book can’t answer the question of “why” some must face these challenges, it does address the important question of “How can I face this illness with strength and hope?”
