Heart’s Ache is a collection of traditional-style poems that seeks to express for others what their own hearts have been struggling to express. It's about pain and love, loss and surrender, desire and youthful loneliness. It’s about fallen man’s longings for a higher experience of love; his memories of a fallen Eden, his visions of a distant heaven, and his painful awareness that pain and love are never separated. It’s the poetic result of one young person’s desire to allow pain to be felt, to express it in words, and then to continue trusting in God’s goodness to do exceedingly above all that we could ask or think. It’s about bravely connecting with the inner yearning for God’s love and the love of His people, even though pain is always sure to be present in some measure. It’s about loving, and then loving again, never ceasing to look in hope for God’s own abundant provision of love and reciprocation. He who loves deeply hurts deeply, but never will the soul of man experience love's rapture like those who bear their cross and wait for God’s blessing.

Heart-Aches explores the deep connections between heart health and emotional well-being. Dr. Ruediger Dahlke blends cultural history, medical insights, and psychological perspectives to reveal how symptoms often reflect deeper emotional realities. This holistic guide combines modern medicine with traditional wisdom, offering a comprehensive understanding of heart-related issues and the importance of a balanced approach to treatment. Perfect for those interested in holistic health and the emotional dimensions of medicine.

The question “what must I do to be saved?” Is answered as well, and the consequences for not trusting, leaning, and depending upon a holy and righteous god.

A seasoned cardiologist shares his experiences, opinions, and recommendations about heart disease and other cardiac problems A Strong and Steady Pulse: Stories from a Cardiologist provides an insider’s perspective on the field of cardiovascular medicine told through vignettes and insights drawn from Gregory D. Chapman’s three decades as a cardiologist and professor of medicine. In twenty-six bite-sized chapters based on real-life patients and experiences, Chapman provides an overview of contemporary cardiovascular diseases and treatments, illuminating the art and science of medical practice for lay audiences and professionals alike. With A Strong and Steady Pulse, Chapman provides medical students and general readers with a better understanding of cardiac disease and its contributing factors in modern life, and he also provides insights on the diagnostic process, medical decision making, and patient care. Each chapter presents a patient and their initial appearance, described in clear detail as Chapman gently walks us through his evaluation and the steps he and his associates take to determine the underlying problem. Chapman’s stories are about real people dealing with life and death situations—including the physicians, nurses, medical students, and other team members who try to save lives in emergent, confusing conditions. The sometimes hard-won solutions to these medical challenges combine new technology and cutting-edge research together with insights drawn from Chapman’s past experiences as an intern and resident in Manhattan during the AIDS epidemic, as a postdoctoral fellow at Duke University in the 1990s, and in practice in Nashville, Tennessee, and Birmingham, Alabama. Conditions addressed include the recognition and management of heart attack, heart failure, arrhythmia, valvular heart disease, cardiac transplantation, broken heart syndrome, hypertension, and the depression some people experience after a heart attack, as well as related topics like statin drugs, the Apple Watch ECG feature, and oral anticoagulants. Finally, the emergence of the COVID-19 virus and its disruption of normal hospital routines as the pandemic unfolded is addressed in an epilogue.
