In the foreseeable future, those who are grossly overweight, with no genetic predisposition; those who abuse alcohol or drugs; and even those who do not exercise regularly, may be held responsible for payment of a large portion of their own health care costs for treatment of conditions incurred as a consequence of their lifestyle. Particularly for smokers, in centers of government and among insurance providers, the idea is evolving rapidly and with growing conviction, that smokers should be responsible for payment of a large portion of their own health care costs. The rationale is that those who smoke are guilty of deliberately inhaling toxins on a regular basis. These toxins have been proven to damage the human body and predispose it to suffering and disability from severe and often fatal lung and heart conditions. The cost of providing care for these conditions is staggering; therefore, the plan is to increase the health insurance premiums of smokers first, to help defray the cost of treatment, and, secondly, to act as a deterrent to smoking for all of society. What this means is that at least for smokers, the individual is now becoming accountable for his or her own health. Health care will no longer accept the full impact of cost for conditions which could possibly have been prevented by a change in living habits.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49592486789393,"sku":"GOR006998605","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51522386821393,"sku":"GOR014314832","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0615906850.jpg?v=1786120108"},{"product_id":"tale-of-quisquis-book-hugh-gilbert-osb-9780852447543","title":"The Tale of Quisquis","description":"Like his previous two, this book contains conferences delivered by an abbot to his fellow monks ─ in this case mainly based on retreat conferences given to other monastic communities. The first, Unfolding the Mystery, reflects on the high points of the liturgical year; the second, Living the Mystery, offers help in living the Christian life, using 'markers' from monastic life. This third volume looks at the Rule of St Benedict, by which monks and nuns have been living since the sixth century and which an increasing number of lay people also follow. There are many books on the Rule; this one is different and takes a look at it as 'story' - The Tale of Quisquis. The Quisquis (Latin for 'anyone') of the tale is 'anyone' who hears the call of the Lord and answers it. One of the purposes of the book is 'to uncover in the Rule a narrative of such an individual's return to God as it unfolds in his inner and outer life. As the chapters follow their at times disorderly order, it seems possible to discern a hidden story of a soul.' Hugh Gilbert OSB was a cloistered monk for thirty-seven years and Abbot of Pluscarden Abbey for nineteen. In the summer of 2011 he was called by Pope Benedict to become Bishop of Aberdeen and was ordained to that role on the Solemnity of the Assumption that year. He remains a Benedictine monk, though no longer residing in the monastery, and it is a great gift to the Christian world that he hands on in these conferences. As he points out, 'the Rule must be constantly rediscovered, its deepest intentions explored and re-expressed. It is this living validity of the Rule these pages would like to serve.'","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50332225208593,"sku":"GOR007353519","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008944439569,"sku":"NIN9780852447543","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52126696767761,"sku":"NLS9780852447543","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53581555007761,"sku":"GOR014969879","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/085244754X.jpg?v=1751234181"},{"product_id":"hope-for-alzheimer-s-book-hugh-gilbert-osb-9780692227190","title":"Hope for Alzheimer's","description":"This is a story of miracles and celebration, not just for my father and his family, but potentially for millions of other Alzheimer's sufferers and their families. The struggle faced by families in coming to terms with the stark reality of the effect of Alzheimer's and the numbing ripple effects which resonate in all directions is an area which has not been adequately addressed on any level. There is little or no professional help available to counsel family members through this protracted nightmare. For the most part we are left to flounder along, with each one of us dealing with it from his or her own personal perspective. It is an unsupportive and helpless environment with no hope for anything other than the certainty of a protracted physically, emotionally and often financially devastating terminal journey. This has to change in the future. However, in my efforts to come to terms with all of this I suddenly became aware of a very bright ray of hope for a potential cure and I was met with resistance on every level as I tried to get my father the chance he so desperately needed. How can a potential cure be simple and easily implemented? Your understandable current doubt and skepticism will gradually dissolve and you will be amazed at the potential of it all.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50683216757009,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50683216953617,"sku":"GOR010811530","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0692227199.jpg?v=1751327563"},{"product_id":"all-time-belongs-to-him-book-hugh-gilbert-osb-9780852449929","title":"All Time Belongs to Him","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51008868745489,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008871760145,"sku":"NIN9780852449929","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52661002633489,"sku":"NLS9780852449929","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0852449925.jpg?v=1751297659"},{"product_id":"free-the-unicorn-book-hugh-gilbert-osb-9780615795768","title":"Free The Unicorn","description":"The Unicorn of Scotland stands chained to the throne in England's Coat of Arms.
