A Medical Doctor Should Never Say That...: Itinerary of an AIDS specialist

      A Medical Doctor Should Never Say That...: Itinerary of an AIDS specialist 35 million people are still infected by the HIV virus across the globe, despite undeniable scienti c progress. In France, 140,000 people are currently diagnosed HIV-positive, while 30,000 are unknowingly infected. In the words of Dr. Alain Lafeuillade, author of a work intended to shake up our certainties and take a critical look at France's public institutions, "The War Is Not Over".

Conversations with Paul

Image
    Conversations with Paul What happens when a woman who trusts science, logic and reason meets a man whose life was defined by faith? Find out when you read Conversations With Paul. Professor Elizabeth Carpenter is confident, disciplined and firmly grounded in what she can measure and explain. God, in her view, is a question that science should be able to answer, but then she meets Paul—not a metaphor, not a dream, but the Apostle Paul, sent across time for a promise she never expected. Conversations With Paul is a powerful, personal encounter between a modern skeptic and one of history’s most persuasive voices of faith. It’s not a sermon, it’s a dialogue; honest, challenging and quietly transformative. As Beth walks her own modern Damascus Road, she begins to see that faith doesn’t silence reason—it deepens it—and that the answers she finds might be much more than she ever asked for.
