The Husband's Guide
to Cancer Survival
ISBN: 0-9759516-0-2
$12.95
Publication Date: September 2004
Dr. Robert Kyle at the Mayo Clinic and other cancer experts have hailed this work as "advice that is right on target" and "a valuable resource combining personal and professional experiences into a roadmap for caregivers".
"Your Wife Has Cancer." This short sentence undoubtedly instills fear in the hearts of even the strongest men. Author Mark Elliott Miller heard these words in April 2003 and, over the following year, joined his wife, Robyn, on a heart-wrenching journey through cancer treatment.
Mr. Miller, an eldercare leader and hospice executive, spent much of his 20-year career reaching out to others facing serious illnesses. He also earned a Master of Public Health degree. However, when cancer entered his family's life, there truly was no experience or education that prepared him for what was to come.
In searching for greater understanding of his wife's cancer and his role as a husband during this illness, Mr. Miller wrote a journal while his wife slept after chemotherapy, radiation therapy and stem cell transplants. He also scoured the Internet, talked with other patients and their families, and asked many questions of the doctors and nurses entrusted with his wife's care. During his wife's final hospitalization, he pulled all the pieces together and wrote all but the final chapter of The Husband's Guide to Cancer Survival.
While Mrs. Miller was responding well to the stem cell transplant she received, on March 19, 2004 she unexpectedly died of a heart attack. As part of his mourning process, Mr. Miller completed the book's final chapter. "This is a testimonial to my late wife's amazing courage," explains Mr. Miller. "Her battle will surely inspire others and the book provides priceless resources for families coping with the uncertainty of cancer." A portion of all proceeds will be donated to organizations funding cancer research and family support services.
With its first printing of 2000 copies helping families around the world, additional copies of The Husband's Guide to Cancer Survival may be purchased directly from the publisher's bookstore, JustBookz.com, by clicking the link below for $12.95 plus shipping. The book may also be ordered through all major bookstores and on-line booksellers.

Advice For Life From the
Mouths Of Elders:
One Hundred Ways
To Grow Old Gracefully
ISBN: 0-595-27716-0
$11.95
Publication Date: May 2003
As Baby Boomers age, learning from elders has never been more important. This is essential reading for anyone who wishes to live life fully.
There is great wisdom in the hearts and minds of our elders. Too often, this wisdom is lost as time passes. What a tragedy! In writing this book, elder rights advocate and author Mark Elliott Miller emailed, mailed, and hand-delivered surveys to over 100 independent and assisted living eldercare communities in all 50 states. He asked activity directors, administrators, and other staff at these facilities to identify one or two residents "who have healthy attitudes towards life." Once identified, these elders answered questionnaires in their own words. Elders in 18 states participated by sharing timeless pearls of wisdom for all to enjoy!

Extraordinary Encounters In An Ordinary Life
ISBN: 0-595-21866-0
$10.95
Publication Date: February 2002
A fascinating book on living life with passion, parenting moral children, and enjoying the little things that often go unnoticed.
In Extraordinary Encounters In An Ordinary Life, Mark Miller writes of everyday experiences (growing up in a Jewish household, raising children) and unique experiences (interviewing the Dalai Lama, running for public office). Miller tells of colorful characters he has met as newspaper reporter, copywriter, and marketing manager, and describes the difficulty of raising children after divorce.
Reflecting on a career in hospitals, nursing homes and hospices, he recounts personal experiences with the dying, including members of his own family, providing insight into how health care systems often fail the poor and elderly. He asks questions about health care issues that become increasingly critical as Baby Boomers head into their final years. Finally, he gives personal accounts of celebrities he has met and interviewed, including Jimmy Carter and George Bush, which paint fresh portraits of the people behind the photos.
Mark Miller's experiences and life lessons can serve as reminders for us to pay closer attention to the people and the blessings in our lives and to live every day with open minds and open hearts.
