Much is new in Family Medicine since the last edition of our textbook. For example, not only is the therapy of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) much different than a few years ago; the epidemiol ogy of the disease has also changed and more than half of the family physicians in a rural state such as Oregon have already managed patients with HIV disease or AIDS. 1 There are new immunization recommendations for children and new antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections. Computers are bringing medical informatics and on-line consultation into office practice. Medicare physician payment reform is underway and the reality of rationing medical care has been recognized. There has been a recent increase in student interest in a family practice career,2 coincidental with a Council on Graduate Medical Education (COGME) recommendation that at least 50 percent of all residency graduates 3 should enter practice as generalists. Also there is increasing awareness of the need for a 4 Center for Family Practice and Primary Care at the National Institutes of Health. This all-new fourth edition is intended to present the scientific and practical basis of family medicine with special attention to what's new in family medicine. The emphasis is on how the physician provides continuing and comprehensive care for persons of all ages, with clinical content selected from the perspective offamily physicians. The format ofthe book, like the practice of family medicine, continues to change.

We're created for a purpose.One that makes Christ known and brings Him glory upon the earth. Deep down, we know what we're called to do. We may not tap intoit because it's uncommon, or we may try it and experience frustrations and wonder if we were really made to do it. We settle for second best instead of God's best because we can't figure out why or how to push through. The message being preached through socialmedia seems to be one that says, "Things happen overnight." The frustration we experience tells us that if we're not overnight successes, we're in the wrong place. But how do we deal with the emotions we feel as we journey through life? How do we do what we're supposed to do when it seems like there's not a blueprint or there's too many blueprints? How do we push past settling and pursue what God has called us to do with passion and purpose? Abraham was called to set out for a place that God would reveal to him. It wasn't given tohim immediately, he had to be obedient and step out. Along the way, he experienced various tests that taught him lessons and deepened his faith. He was told he'd be the father of many nations. As we know, it didn't happen as soon as he thought it would. Oftentimes, it's the same with us. We know in our heads what we're called to do, and we set out to do it. We experience hardships, pushbacks, frustrations, and more. So what gives? What is going on? How do we handle it? In Training Ground: From Anointing to Appointing, I come alongside you and walk you through the process that peels back motivesand exposes authenticity. We'll walk through what this journey consists of and how to get through it. At the end of the book, you'll walkaway with a deeper understanding of the work God is doing in your life, a greater faith, and encouragement to continue in obedience.
