The miracle of its survival was predicted - guaranteed.

Seed of Avraham

A 4000 year history of The Jewish Family

by Othniel Seiden, MD & Jane Bilett, Ph.D.

The written history of the House of Avraham has been born out by the pick and shovel of 20th century archeology. To doubt its validity in the face of all the evidence is foolishness. But maybe I'm mistaken for perhaps the family of fools is even older than the House of Avraham.

Like every family, the House of Avraham is a mixed lot. There have always been a few who saw little value in the birthright - tried denying it - -gave it up - but seldom with success or to their own benefit. Others faced agony, torture, death - rather than give it up. Those who survived hopefully found their reward; those who perished - who knows what prize awaited them for their sufferings. Such are the things faith is made of.

It was predicted. It has come to pass.

"I can't kill Nazis if I'm dead-" Solomon Shalensky

The Remnant

The Jewish Resistance in WWII

by Othniel Seiden, MD & Jane Bilett, Ph.D.

After researching the transcripts of the Nuremburg Trials and interviewing 'The Remnant' or Jewish survivors of the holocaust, many still living in Israel; Othniel Seiden was compelled to write their startling and remarkable stories of World War II. In this stunning and compelling historical novel about the Jews who were able to remain free and fight, Seiden documents their survival, their suffering, their missions and their guerrilla warfare tactics against the Nazi occupation forces.

Also, well documented, the tragedy of Kiev and now infamous ravine of Babi Yar where it is thought that nearly a million people, Jews and non-Jews alike were massacred. These brave few escaped the certain death of their co- religionists by acts of bravery and sheer determination to live. The myth that the Jewish people "went to their deaths like sheep to slaughter-" is put to rest forever in the stories of "The Remnant."

The Remnant is Othniel Seiden's fourth historical fiction novel following The Survivor of Babi Yar, The Capuchin, and The Cartographer - 1492.

The Hospice Experience

Making Your Most Important Final Decisions

by Othniel Seiden, MD & Jane Bilett, Ph.D.

Making the decision to use hospice is one of the most important final decision you'll ever make. Hospice is a blessing to those who avail themselves of the service. It is also a service to help their families and loved ones. However, as wonderful as hospice and its services are, the decision to use hospice is not a simple one. It, by its very nature, is an emotionally difficult decision to make. Because of our professional and personal experience with hospice, we were called to write this book to help you.

Dr. Seiden's expertise with hospice is two fold, through over 40 years of medical practice, advising patients and their families in making their final decisions and more important, from the knowledge he gained when his mother-in-law entered hospice and five years later when his own wife of 48 years entered hospice at the end of her battle with lung cancer.

Dr. Bilett's expertise comes from over 30 years in private practice in clinical psychology, and her experience dealing with the stresses of patients and their families facing their terminal time and the grief that follows for those family members and loved ones who must move on after the loss of their loved one.
