Based on a study of fourteen families in which a child had contracted paralytic poliomyelitis. Passage Through Crisis: Polio Victims and Their Families, first published in 1963, was widely praised for its penetrating--and, for its time, innovative--analyses of doctor-patient communications, and for its interpreta-tion of the meaning of physical disability in American society. In his new opening essay, Davis reflects on the enduring sources of this profound problem in human relations as wel...

WHERE IS GOD WHEN THE WORST HAPPENS?When a yellow school bus rolled into Fred Davis, pinned him against another car and dragged him forty feet through gravel, he sustained multiple life-threatening injuries.

This book was an idea to help kids see that Jesus Christ laid down His life, and he came as a mere man and the Lamb of God and is also known as the Lion of Judah. So my thought was that Jesus has all the same powers as God and portrayed Himself as that defenseless lamb when in actuality, He had all the powers of God inside a man. He had to be a lamb. But I wanted to illustrate that He also was God inside that lamb and could change anytime into God, the Super Lion.

I saw two different news broadcasts on a CEO getting a microchip in his hand. And then the employees were next. The phrase they used on the local news at 6:00 was, the C.E.O is leading the way. "They are starting today at the top of this company starting with the C.E.O, of the company, leading the way" The blind leading the blind.

This world is living just like they were in Noah's days, seeing nothing wrong with living in sin, but Fred Davis wants to ask everyone. Where do we draw the line? On sin, and on living right, and on how the Bible teaches how we are supposed to be living. Especially in the last days and JUST before Jesus Christ returns for his people that are supposed to be watching and praying! N...
