The treatment of transsexuals turns medicine into a system of well organised prejudice, cruelty and mistreatment. Patients are abused while the perpetrators are convinced that this is necessary, good treatment! In volume I of Manufacturing Insanity Eva examines how it is possible that patients suffer and die while doctors watch in complete denial. Maybe this denial of patient's needs and rights, all the abuse and death is created by an inherent systemic inability of medicine to acknowledge just these needs? But doctors letting their patients suffer and die because they are incapable to accept their own shortcomings? That's insane! Well, maybe not! Because on her way through the jungle of medical history, politics, practice, self-understanding and the patient experience Eva finds that in the end this is all about sex, power and cultist beliefs! The one piece in the puzzle that is completely irrelevant is the emotional integrity of the individual patient! Welcome to Manufacturing Insanity!

LIFT UP YOUR EYES is a book of daily devotions written by a Christian pastor who over a lifetime of ministry has come to know the hungers and hurts, the hearts and hopes of humanity. It consists of 374 one-page devotions chosen from over two decades of religious columns written for the Saturday editorial page of the Temple Daily Telegram, by the Rev. Clyde E. Nichols, Minister Emeritus of the First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of Temple Texas where he served as senior minister for 23 years from 1963 to 1986. The book contains 365 devotions, one for every day of the year, plus eight for movable holidays (Martin Luther King Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, etc.). Each of the devotions is matched with a carefully chosen memory verse from the Bible. Using wonderful stories, humor, Scripture and anecdotes, this book speaks to the real life situations we all confront and helps us do a better job of meeting them. Each of the daily devotions is calculated to lift the spirit, focus the mind, and bring a more positive perspective on all we are facing. It is for young and old alike-children, teenagers, adults, senior citizens. Kept on the coffee table or night stand, LIFT UP YOUR EYES can be read daily with one's devotions or picked up, opened anywhere, and read two or three at a time for comfort, challenge, personal growth, self-development and self-esteem. To spend a year with LIFT UP YOUR EYES is to grow in the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Almost every entry in the book includes a verbal marker of depression or an outright mention of pain and hurting. Does it give the reader an opportunity to explore feelings? Of course it does. It occurs time and again. On that measure, Programmed to Self Destruct has to be counted a success. It feels simply barbaric to review this book, as if pondering on the aesthetics of the cries of pain. The aesthetics are excellent and works well, the writing is clear, direct, with minute details that startle even as the cumulative effect brings on numbness. I don't see a lot of middle preference for Programmed to Self Destruct; you'll either love it or you don't. Come to think of it, that all-or-nothing feeling, having to be the best or not exist at all. It's very painful. My heart wonders about Khan's true life experiences.
