Prayers for People in Hospital consists of a wide-ranging collection of case histories, each based on actual events, covering the numerous areas of work within the modern hospital. The narratives relate not only to the patients, but also to those involved in every aspect of the hospital,including medical care and support services. Each case is accompanied by a specially written prayer or meditation with, in some instances, appropriate short Biblical quotations taken from the REB.In an introductory chapter, Neville Smith addresses the often difficult questions that arise when praying in the context of the situations that arise in hospital.This is a unique, stimulating, and often deeply moving book that will aid all who seek to deepen their prayers and understanding in this field, and it will be an invaluable aid to all who lead corporate worship.

Allergy is a common problem which seems to be afflicting more and more people. Allergy to wine causes headaches and allergy to shellfish may cause skinrashes. Cosmetics are described as hypo-allergenic and duvets and pillows as non-allergenic. Allergy to medicines may make the cure worse than the illness. One in seven primary school children carry inhalers in their pockets to alleviate wheezing, and for many people hot summer days are clouded by sneezing and a blocked or runny nose. The aim of this book is to provides readers with an understanding of what can cause allergy, what diseases result from it, which symptoms can be alleviated and which cured. It examines various types of allergies and also explores treatment of hay fever, asthma and lung diseases, eczema and rashes.
