I found the Bible to be pretty good especially Psalms.

bump... to add... “ The Traveler's Gift: Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success”           Andy Andrews   Quote from Walt *war-eagle My re-newed motto for the rest of my journey is: "I will persist without exception - I will find a way where there is no way". (Andy Andrews - The Traveler's Gift)

Here's another book that I have not seen mentioned here:

"There's No Place Like Hope"
by Vickie Girard

Available at Amazon and most brick and mortar stores.
My wife and I have purchased at least 20 copies to share.
It's a wonderful book, I hope you enjoy it!

Bluebird    -  Hi -  Another good book for your library would be  -  Beyond Kegels--by Janet  A Hulme   Fabulous four exercises and more.... to prevent and treat incontinence    Phoenix Publishing      Thanks      Brodie                                                      

  Thanks Gordy, Partial quote from Gordy to Sandy *belindafeathers thread: Husband's Advanced Prostate Cancer First thing to do is, if you don't already have one or more, get a book or books on PCa. Those by Scardino or Walsh or Stephen Strum are particularly good. Strum is great for explaining ADT, which is the therapy your husband is on with the Casodex and Lupron. They stop the body from producing testosterone which is what feeds the tumors. One of the side effects, and there are many, is osteoporosis. I believe what you called "Zebeda" is actually Zometa which is a heavy duty bone strengthener to help prevent the osteoporosis and also will help against the bone mets. Read, read, read books and make Google your best friend. And ask questions here and of the docs.     “A Primer on Prostate Cancer: The Empowered Patient's Guide”   (2 nd edition) by: Stephen Strum, MD, FACP                  Medical Oncologist Specializing in Prostate Cancer by: Donna L.

Partial quote taken from  Ten Cancer Tips    thread started by TimG Hamilton Jordan, Chief of Staff for President Jimmy Carter, died of cancer today at age 63. He had prostate cancer, which was surgically removed, but died of another type of cancer.   Here are 10 tips for cancer patients from his book, No Such Thing as a Bad Day.  It is good stuff to remember for all of us.          "No Such Thing as a Bad Day": A Memoir        by Hamilton Jordan     Help support HealingWell by ordering from HW’s BOOKSTORE    Click here to order and to help support HealingWell.com http://www.wellnessbooks.com/cgi-bin/search.pl?Operation=ItemSearch&Keywords=no+such+thing+as+a+bad+day&SearchIndex=Books&templates=search     http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/156352578X/ref=sib_dp_pt#reader-link Look inside this book

Some favorites of mine, all of which helped me decide to pursue a course of Active Surveilance combined with major diet and lifestyle change:

The China Story by T. Colin Campbell, PhD

Zen Macorbiotics for Americans by Roger Mason

Kamakazie Cowboy by Dirk Benedict

Two years from DX, I am in better health and condition than ever before. 

It appears that this initial post was never completed by adding clickable links to it. You can write down the names of the books you are interested in and then click the wellnessbook.com post on the top left of the post (look for the yellow smiley icon) and then type in the title in the search box that comes up, that will take you directly to the book, and also lists other books containing the same search words, such as prostate cancer. Hope this kludge helps you get your books...

thank you for having this information available to us. i just ordered 6 books for gifts using the wellness link and i feel good that healingwell gets something from it.

I ordered the book by Dr 'Snuffy' almost 4 weeks ago, nothing yet. Is it usually this slow??

Books on our site are ordered from Amazon.com, so I would inquire with them.

I'd like to put in a plug for my urologist's book, which I found to be very helpful:

The Complete Prostate Book: What Every Man Needs to Know
--by J. Stephen Jones

It's available on Amazon.
