Peters-Tanksley - Dr. Carols Guide to Womens Health

Dr. Carol combines her expertise as a medical doctor and her strong Christian faith to provide wise counsel for total wholeness for women in body, soul, and spirit. A book my wife wishes she had years ago! This is a valuable guide for husbands as well in understanding their wives spiritual, emotional, and physical needs, feelings, and whole-person health care.

Dr. Carols guide fulfills an unmet need in the area of womens health. In a reader-friendly style the author combines medical science with her practical and personal experience through a Jesus Christ faith-based perspective. Dr. Carols medical and ministry background gives her an extensive foundation from which to approach this subject. I enthusiastically endorse this book since it uniquely deals in a Christ-centered approach with difficult physical and mental/emotional health issues women face throughout the various stages of their lives. It will be a tremendous resource in womens health literature. I encourage the reader to go on this journey with Dr. Carols Guide to Womens Health.

Dr. Carol Peters-Tanksley is not only a scholar and physician, but also a discerner of wisdom. Dr. Carols Guide to Womens Health is a much-needed, valuable resource on womens health that offers not only practical information but also encouragement. This guide should be included in every church library, counselors library, womens ministry library, and should be available as a reference tool for all women. The crucial information in this book has the potential to influence a healthier, holier, and more hopeful generation of women. I strongly recommend it.

As the oldest health-cost-sharing ministry, we know that women often have their fear of health issues magnified because they see the topic as a mystery. When the mystery is reduced or removed, the road to health becomes a road of confidence and success. Healthy living is not just worthwhile but also possible. Step into the confidence needed to have a successful journey with this comprehensive, readable, and understandable guide to womens health written by a sojourner who knows the topic from inside and outside.

Dr. Carols insights into womens health will be a valuable resource for the women I help in their quest for healthy sexuality and spirituality. No question is too touchy for Dr. Carol. Her rich experience as a physician caring for women comes through to readers in a manner that both supports their faith and provides common sense. Each woman reading this will feel empowered to take charge of her health in every way. I gladly recommend this book for every woman who wants to live and feel better.
