The Holistic Practitioner's Business Bible is a comprehensive business guide specifically tailored to holistic health business owners who have received training in their respective fields of acupuncture, bodywork, coaching or psychotherapy, but have little experience in setting up an office and managing it effectively.

A breath of fresh air for practitioners struggling with cost/benefit concerns, this book's straightforward approach takes the mystery out of business basics and inspires immediate action. Designed as a quick and easy resource for graduates of accrediting schools, it is also a very useful tool for all small business owners.

Transforming Care: A Christian Vision of Nursing Practice, Doornbos, Mary Molewyk ISBN: 9780802828743

Nursing involves skill, judgment, compassion, and respect for human life whether or not the nurse is a Christian. Is there anything distinctive, then, about Christian nurses? The authors of Transforming Care address the question of how Christian faith molds nursing practice. Suggesting that such faith entails something more essential than evangelism or a certain position on moral dilemmas, they deal with the ordinary, everyday nature of nursing practice. The first part of the book articulates the relationship between Christian faith and nursing practice while analyzing the concepts of nursing, person, environment, and health common to nursing literature. The second part describes and evaluates nursing practice in three different health care contexts: acute care settings, mental health facilities, and community care contexts. Sidebars throughout the book offer thought-provoking quotations from well-known authors and nursing experts. Contributors Cheryl Brandsen Bart Cusveller Mary Molewyk Doornbos Mary Flikkema Ruth E.
