>>Bill: In 1835 a man visited
a doctor in Florence, Italy. He
00:00:02.86\00:00:06.50
was filled with anxiety and
exhausted from lack of sleep. He
00:00:06.50\00:00:10.90
couldn't eat, and he avoided his
friends. The doctor examined him
00:00:10.90\00:00:16.30
and found that he was in prime
physical condition. Concluding
00:00:16.30\00:00:20.76
that his patient needed to have
a good time, the physician told
him about a circus in
00:00:20.76\00:00:24.63
town and its star performer,
a clown named Grimaldi. Night
00:00:24.63\00:00:30.90
after night he had the people
rolling in the aisles. "You must
00:00:30.90\00:00:33.46
go and see him," the doctor
advised. "Grimaldi is the
world's funniest clown. He'll
00:00:33.46\00:00:37.23
make you laugh and cure your
sadness." "No," replied the
despairing man, "he
00:00:37.23\00:00:42.03
can't help me. you
see, I am Grimaldi!"
00:00:42.03\00:00:47.83

stood the test of time.
00:01:03.16\00:01:04.10
God's book, The Bible
00:01:04.93\00:01:07.70
Still relevant in
today's complex world.
00:01:08.83\00:01:11.90
It Is Written.
00:01:12.56\00:01:14.50
Sharing messages of
hope around the world.
00:01:15.66\00:01:19.30
According to Health Canada
about 9% of adult Canadians will
00:01:43.10\00:01:47.00
experience a major depression
or anxiety at some point during
00:01:47.00\00:01:52.53
their lifetime. In 2003 11.6
million visits to doctors across
00:01:52.53\00:01:59.16
Canada were depression or
anxiety related. Twice as many
women as men are diagnosed
00:01:59.16\00:02:06.03
with depression/anxiety.
However, this may simply
indicate that men are less
00:02:06.03\00:02:11.66
comfortable seeking help or do
not get an accurate diagnosis.
00:02:11.66\00:02:17.00
In Canada, suicide is the second
highest cause of death for youth
00:02:17.00\00:02:26.03
aged 10-24. Each year, on
average, 294 youths die from
suicide. Many more attempt
00:02:26.03\00:02:35.00
suicide. One of the reasons I
love the Bible is that it is not
afraid of the truth,
00:02:35.00\00:02:43.53
even the sometimes sordid truth
about its heroes. Abraham lied.
00:02:43.53\00:02:50.40
Jacob stole. Moses murdered.
King David committed adultery.
Heroes of the faith, everyone of
00:02:50.40\00:02:57.36
them, but the Bible refuses to
gloss over their shortcomings.
00:02:57.36\00:03:02.36
It shows them "warts and all."
We find another "wart" in our
00:03:02.36\00:03:08.33
lesson from I Kings - one of
the greatest of the prophets -
00:03:08.33\00:03:13.80
Elijah. To briefly recount the
background of the story, three
years before, at the
00:03:19.06\00:03:23.80
urging of the Lord, Elijah had
announced a drought as
punishment on the nation
00:03:23.80\00:03:28.66
of Israel for its idolatry and
worship. A contest was arranged
00:03:28.66\00:03:34.46
on Mount Carmel between Elijah
and the prophets of Baal to
determine once and for all
00:03:34.46\00:03:39.16
just who was the real God
of Israel. Each would build an
00:03:39.16\00:03:44.26
altar for their god and then a
sacrifice would be made. The god
who answered by fire,
00:03:44.26\00:03:48.60
consuming the sacrifice, would
be the winner. All day long the
00:03:48.60\00:03:54.86
prophets of Baal danced and
prayed, sang and prayed, whined
and prayed, all without
00:03:54.86\00:03:59.60
result. Finally, at the end
of the day, Elijah prayed his
00:03:59.60\00:04:05.46
relatively short prayer and God
answered by fire! Now, the
prophets of the Baals
00:04:05.46\00:04:13.16
had been exterminated, the rains
have begun again, and except for
00:04:13.16\00:04:18.93
the very real threat of
retribution from Jezebel, Elijah
should have been feeling
00:04:18.93\00:04:23.70
pretty good. But no - he was,
well, depressed. He went out
00:04:23.70\00:04:33.13
into the wilderness, away from
all human contact, slumped down
00:04:33.13\00:04:38.03
under a tree and said,
00:04:38.03\00:04:42.40
Quite a speech. One might expect
that the Lord would respond with
00:04:58.36\00:05:04.43
something like, "It's all right.
You are doing a fine job. Don't
be so depressed. It
00:05:04.43\00:05:08.93
will all work out in the end."
But the Lord does not say that.
00:05:08.93\00:05:13.43
The Lord does not say anything.
Just silence. You can picture
00:05:13.43\00:05:19.03
the prophet looking around him
after that emotional outburst.
"Is anybody there? Does
00:05:19.03\00:05:24.36
anybody care?" Finally, Elijah
took that time-honored way of
00:05:24.36\00:05:29.66
temporary escape - he
fell asleep. 1 Kings 19: 5a
00:05:29.66\00:05:34.96
Why should Elijah be so terribly
depressed? After all, as much as
00:05:41.06\00:05:47.36
anyone alive he had seen the
evidence of God's power. He had
00:05:47.36\00:05:52.80
watched as God provided an
unending supply of food for the
poor family that had
00:05:52.80\00:05:58.60
offered him hospitality for
three years. He had participated
00:05:58.60\00:06:02.66
in God's restoration to life of
a desperately ill young boy. He
had been God's field
00:06:02.66\00:06:08.66
commander in that great victory
on Mt. Carmel. One would expect
00:06:08.66\00:06:13.30
that Elijah of all people would
never hit bottom. But he did.
00:06:13.30\00:06:17.16
What causes such depression?
In Elijah's case a good part was
00:06:20.13\00:06:27.13
sheer frustration. Now I've
asked a specialist to join us,
her name is Dr. Leader
00:06:27.13\00:06:34.30
from Toronto's York University.
Dr. Leader is an expert and she
00:06:34.30\00:06:41.56
is going to help us better
understand this. Dr. Leader,
00:06:41.56\00:06:45.60
thank you for joining us. Let
me ask you, can frustration with
00:06:45.60\00:06:48.03
one's life lead to depression?
00:06:48.03\00:06:50.26
>>Dr. Leader: The term
"depression" is used to describe
00:06:52.80\00:06:55.33
a variety of situations related
to mood. It is a complex illness
00:06:55.33\00:06:58.96
with many contributing factors.
Some call depression a disease
Others dislike the idea of
00:06:58.96\00:07:03.83
labelling. Often enough, when
someone is described as
"depressed", it is more
00:07:03.83\00:07:09.10
accurate to say that person has
symptoms of depression, is sad,
00:07:09.10\00:07:14.60
lonely or grieved. All of us
at one time or another encounter
00:07:14.60\00:07:18.90
phases when we become
discouraged, are down on
ourselves, and feel dejected for
00:07:18.90\00:07:23.76
one reason or another, real
or imagined. There is a lot that
00:07:23.76\00:07:29.33
can be said about depression.
Clinical depression requires the
presence of a number of
00:07:29.33\00:07:33.60
symptoms affecting a person's
"normal" functioning for a
00:07:33.60\00:07:37.76
period of time. For the purposes
of this discussion, the question
00:07:37.76\00:07:42.96
is whether frustration with
one's life can lead to
depression. The causes of
00:07:42.96\00:07:47.83
depression are many, frustration
being only one of them. Some
00:07:47.83\00:07:53.36
causes or situations that
can lead to depression include
00:07:53.36\00:07:57.76
abuse; certain medications;
conflict; death; major life
events/changes-even
00:07:57.76\00:08:01.93
positive ones; loss-of a dream,
a life, a home, etc; other
00:08:01.93\00:08:07.70
personal problems; serious
illnesses, including chronic
00:08:07.70\00:08:12.83
pain, diabetes, heart disease,
arthritis, kidney disease,
HIV/AIDS, and hypothyroidism.
00:08:12.83\00:08:20.60
Some symptoms of depression may
be confused with other
conditions, but here are
00:08:20.60\00:08:25.66
some: alcohol or drug abuse;
insomnia or excessive sleep;
00:08:25.66\00:08:30.26
heightened irritability; loss of
interest in people and
activities that once
00:08:30.26\00:08:36.13
were pleasurable to
the individual; a sense of
00:08:36.13\00:08:39.73
hopelessness and helplessness;
negativity; persistent thoughts
that something bad would
00:08:39.73\00:08:44.03
happen; thoughts of death;
withdrawal from social
intercourse; dark themes
00:08:44.03\00:08:49.20
in their work and conversation;
decreased motivation and
00:08:49.20\00:08:54.03
productivity; crying spells.
At its worst, one can become
00:08:54.03\00:09:00.20
suicidal. Some possible warning
signs include extreme mood
swings; anxious and
00:09:00.20\00:09:05.93
agitated behaviour; reckless
behaviour; talking about not
00:09:05.93\00:09:10.53
wanting to be a burden to
others; or about not wanting to
be here; feeling trapped or
00:09:10.53\00:09:15.86
in unbearable pain; talk about
feeling hopeless and having no
00:09:15.86\00:09:20.96
reason to live; talk about
wanting to die or kill himself.
One writer noted that
00:09:20.96\00:09:27.10
depression is a problem between
the person and his/her world. A
00:09:27.10\00:09:32.33
way to look at depression is
that it sets in when we have
reached the end of our
00:09:32.33\00:09:38.23
rope/efforts, and find there's
nowhere else to go. In Elijah's
00:09:38.23\00:09:44.76
case, he had just done wonders
in God's name on Mt. Carmel, and
00:09:44.76\00:09:49.53
then found himself running for
his life from Jezebel. At the
cave he told God he was sick of
00:09:49.53\00:09:55.73
living, and complained about
how he stood alone. If you look
00:09:55.73\00:10:00.83
closely, you will notice that
there is that element of
self-pity in this story of
00:10:00.83\00:10:06.13
Elijah. People were out to get
him. Put another way, when we
00:10:06.13\00:10:11.03
perceive that we are not able to
control our lives and
situations; when things are not
00:10:11.03\00:10:16.33
working out the way we wanted
them to, we crash into feeling
00:10:16.33\00:10:20.46
like failures, feelings of
guilt and even anger, leading to
00:10:20.46\00:10:26.13
depression. Could it be that we
fall into depression when we
take our eyes off God and
00:10:26.13\00:10:30.76
fix them on ourselves and
others; When we fix our focus on
00:10:30.76\00:10:32.20
our failures and shortcomings;
on our culpability and guilt; on
the gross wrongs others
00:10:32.20\00:10:41.13
have done to us (self-pity), and
how unfair life is? Our focus
00:10:41.13\00:10:46.80
should be on God. There's no
better or more capable
individual to whom to give
00:10:46.80\00:10:53.00
our feelings of depression. He
made us, and is more than able
00:10:53.00\00:10:59.03
to take us over the hump. Thank
you. >>Bill: Well thank you Dr.
00:10:59.03\00:11:05.56
Leader for those insights.
People work so hard to do the
best possible job and then
00:11:05.56\00:11:11.40
find they are out of work
because some corporate bigwig
decided to move the
00:11:11.40\00:11:18.93
company. A father and mother
try to give their youngsters a
00:11:18.93\00:11:22.53
proper upbringing but are now
crazy with worry because their
teenage son has been
00:11:22.53\00:11:27.43
arrested for selling drugs. A
husband sits quietly by, unable
00:11:27.43\00:11:33.06
to do anything, as his wife
slowly wastes away, the victim
00:11:33.06\00:11:38.13
of the unstoppable advance of an
incurable disease. A marriage
that had started with such
00:11:38.13\00:11:42.36
promise of excitement years ago
has now drifted into day after
00:11:42.36\00:11:47.23
day of mutual boredom. A
marriage that stayed wonderful
through the years is now
00:11:47.23\00:11:52.66
over, ended by the cold hand of
death, leaving the survivor to
00:11:52.66\00:11:57.83
wonder if there will ever again
be any laughter in life. Is
there any word from the
00:11:57.83\00:12:05.76
Lord on this? Is anybody there?
Does anybody care? As I said at
00:12:05.76\00:12:13.86
the beginning, one of the
reasons I love the Bible is that
00:12:13.86\00:12:17.80
it refuses to be blind to human
frailty, even among the heroes
of the faith. But another
00:12:17.80\00:12:22.30
reason is that the Bible does
have a word from the Lord. It
00:12:22.30\00:12:27.06
offers strength to overcome the
frailty, in this case the
feelings of depression that
00:12:27.06\00:12:34.20
sometimes come to even the
strongest of us. Please do not
00:12:34.20\00:12:40.60
misunderstand - what I am
talking about here is not some
automatic cure-all, but I
00:12:40.60\00:12:46.93
believe for many of the feelings
of despair and hopelessness
00:12:46.93\00:12:51.53
there are some practical
remedies that will work. See
what happens with Elijah. Verse
00:12:51.53\00:12:58.70
5b
00:12:58.70\00:13:01.03
It hardly comes as a surprise
that proper nutrition and rest
00:13:24.10\00:13:28.93
are critical to a decent
mental attitude. Overstressed,
00:13:28.93\00:13:35.80
underpaid workaholics will
inevitably have trouble.
Elijah's body and mind
00:13:35.80\00:13:42.76
were an integrated whole. His
body needed to be right before
00:13:42.76\00:13:49.03
his mind could be right. I
wanted to explore this a little
more so I asked my friend
00:13:49.03\00:13:56.20
Dr. Fereira to join us. Many
of you know Dr. Fereira as our
00:13:56.20\00:14:02.56
medical expert. Dr. Fereira
thank you for joining us. Let me
ask you this, does what we
00:14:02.56\00:14:08.16
eat affect our mental state?
00:14:08.16\00:14:12.36
>> Dr. Fereira: Thank you Bill!
We all know that caffeine may
00:14:14.70\00:14:18.13
help a person more energetic and
that alcohol may calm one down
but what I hear you asking
00:14:18.13\00:14:23.10
is if foodcan in fact affect
the way we feel and think. The
00:14:23.10\00:14:28.90
answer is Yes, even though there
is not enough evidence to draw
any firm conclusions yet
00:14:28.90\00:14:33.90
but the evidence does
suggest that a healthy diet also
00:14:33.90\00:14:38.23
protects our mental health.
Years ago, Dr Andrew McCulloch,
the chief executive of the
00:14:38.23\00:14:44.30
Mental Health Foundation, in the
UK said that and I quote "We are
00:14:44.30\00:14:50.80
well aware of the effect of diet
upon our physical health, but we
are only just beginning
00:14:50.80\00:14:55.96
to understand how the brain ,as
an organ, is influenced by the
00:14:55.96\00:15:00.53
nutrients it derives from the
foods we eat and how diets have
00:15:00.53\00:15:05.33
an impact on our mental health"
end of quote. I think we need to
look at this by asking two
00:15:05.33\00:15:11.20
main questions: the first is
"can my diet affect the way I
00:15:11.20\00:15:17.23
feel, in other words, can it
make me feel good or fell bad?
The second question is: Can it
00:15:17.23\00:15:23.26
affect my reasoning and memory?
Let's have a look at this. Our
00:15:23.26\00:15:28.56
brains are amazing organs that
depend on the production of
certain chemicals to
00:15:28.56\00:15:33.46
function well. Let's take a
substance called dopamine, for
00:15:33.46\00:15:37.33
example, which is produced by
the brain and allows information
00:15:37.33\00:15:41.46
to travel from one part of the
brain to another. Dopamine is
very important for reasoning or
00:15:41.46\00:15:46.13
processing information at
an intellectual level. It also
00:15:46.13\00:15:51.03
helps one get motivated, to feel
sad or excited, to concentrate,
and it is also related
00:15:51.03\00:15:57.36
with sleep as well as
feelings associated with sexual
00:15:57.36\00:16:02.46
gratification.Some of the
practical implications are that
a low dopamine level in the
00:16:02.46\00:16:06.43
brain may make one feel down,
less motivated and with less
00:16:06.43\00:16:12.13
capacity to reason about issues.
Now, let's go back to your
question, could it be that
00:16:12.13\00:16:17.36
dopamine has something to do
with food? Well, the brain uses
00:16:17.36\00:16:22.36
certain types protein to make
dopamine and where do these come
from? Exactly! From food!
00:16:22.36\00:16:29.23
This also means that if we are
deficient in them we may end up
00:16:29.23\00:16:34.76
with lower dopamine levels and
feel lousy, for example. But
dopamine is just one
00:16:34.76\00:16:39.16
example. Let's look at another
one which is serotonin. Research
00:16:39.16\00:16:44.66
shows that people who are
depressed often have low
serotonin levels. Many
00:16:44.66\00:16:49.93
medications raise the amount of
serotonin in the brain but could
00:16:49.93\00:16:54.60
food also affect it? The answer
is yes! You see, just like with
dopamine, the brain
00:16:54.60\00:17:00.53
uses some types of protein
to make serotonin. Here is an
00:17:00.53\00:17:05.40
important word to remember -
tryptophane. This is a type of
substance used to make
00:17:05.40\00:17:11.63
serotonin and you can just guess
that what we eat may affect how
00:17:11.63\00:17:16.40
much serotonin we may produce.
What about our memory? Could it
also be related to the food we
00:17:16.40\00:17:22.46
eat? The answer again is "yes"
and not only about what you and
00:17:22.46\00:17:27.96
I would call normal
forgetfulness but also in the
development of Alzheimer's
00:17:27.96\00:17:33.80
disease. A recent study showed
that people who simply ate more
calories than what they
00:17:33.80\00:17:38.53
needed had more chances of
developing mild memory loss,
00:17:38.53\00:17:43.93
when compared with those who ate
fewer calories. That's
astonishing! Now, which
00:17:43.93\00:17:49.46
are the best foods for the
brain? We need to look at it as
a complete package.
00:17:49.46\00:17:55.06
By that I mean, let's avoid
foods that are not good for the
00:17:55.06\00:17:59.36
brain and eat more of the ones
that help us. This means, we
should normally eat less meat
00:17:59.36\00:18:05.63
and foods high in saturated fat
such as cured cheeses and
processed meats. It
00:18:05.63\00:18:11.13
also means that we should
eat less refined starches for
00:18:11.13\00:18:15.36
example, cakes, biscuits and
white bread. On the other hand,
we should be spending more of
00:18:15.36\00:18:20.23
our money on good things like
whole grain, high fiber cereals
00:18:20.23\00:18:25.36
for breakfast, with little sugar
added, more fruit, in fact,
00:18:25.36\00:18:29.90
plenty of fruit, plenty of
vegetables and good plant
sources protein such as beans,
00:18:29.90\00:18:31.60
lentils, chick-peas or
carbanzos, soy beans or tofu
which also helps to increase
00:18:31.60\00:18:41.76
serotonin. Soy milk is a very
good substitute for cow's milk I
00:18:41.76\00:18:47.96
would chose to add it to the
morning cereals to start with,
if taste is an issue. Now
00:18:47.96\00:18:53.26
something about fats. The best
fats are found in nuts, avocado
00:18:53.26\00:18:58.03
pears and olives. Nuts are
excellent for the brain but it
is better to take them
00:18:58.03\00:19:03.00
unsalted and not fried. How
much? A handful of nuts a day is
00:19:03.00\00:19:08.50
probably enough and it is better
to take them at breakfast or
lunch. Add a tablespoon or
00:19:08.50\00:19:12.60
two of ground flaxseed to your
soups or cereals and you have a
00:19:12.60\00:19:19.40
winning diet for your brain. By
the way, flaxseed can supply
some the body with some
00:19:19.40\00:19:23.83
omega 3 rich oils, and have
similar effects to eating fish
00:19:23.83\00:19:30.06
but without the risks associated
with eating it. Just a word or
two about caffeine and
00:19:30.06\00:19:35.23
alcohol. The best is to avoid
them. There isn't a good enough
00:19:35.23\00:19:39.76
reason to take them and, in a
long run, even when taken in so
called "moderation" they
00:19:39.76\00:19:44.83
can have serious consequences
for our health. And to finish
00:19:44.83\00:19:49.73
all this? The cherry on top is
plenty of exercise, enough rest
00:19:49.73\00:19:55.00
and a positive attitude in life!
Bill, it was a long answer but I
hope I have answered your
00:19:55.00\00:19:59.20
question! Now it's back to you.
00:19:59.20\00:20:01.50
>>Bill: Let me thank you
Dr. Fereira for those important
00:20:03.36\00:20:05.36
words. Then there is another
step. When Elijah woke up again,
the narrative says,
00:20:07.66\00:20:11.26
verses 7 and 8
00:20:11.26\00:20:13.96
I do not believe the message
here is to overcome depression
00:20:34.73\00:20:39.53
by running away from problems
or even going off on an extended
00:20:39.53\00:20:45.46
vacation. What is significant is
Elijah's destination. Mt. Horeb
was the place where Moses
00:20:45.46\00:20:52.86
first met God in the burning
bush. It was also known as
00:20:52.86\00:20:58.80
Sinai, the place where God gave
the Law. For Elijah, a trip to
that holy mountain was a
00:20:58.80\00:21:04.20
pilgrimage to his spiritual
roots...a place to rekindle
00:21:04.20\00:21:10.23
memories, to recall all God had
done throughout history. More
was needed, of course. The
00:21:10.23\00:21:16.96
next step was conversation with
the Lord - a prayer, if you
will. Elijah set up
00:21:16.96\00:21:22.10
camp in a cave, and as
scripture has it verse 9
00:21:22.10\00:21:28.10
Quite a prayer.
00:22:00.30\00:22:02.03
Have you ever prayed one
like that? There is nothing the
00:22:04.33\00:22:09.06
matter with it. It is not as if
God does not already know how we
feel. God knows. But I
00:22:09.06\00:22:13.70
think letting it all out can
be therapeutic. I am reminded of
00:22:13.70\00:22:20.50
words of the famous hymn .
00:22:20.50\00:22:23.13
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
00:22:26.00\00:22:32.26
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
00:22:32.26\00:22:38.46
Then there is another important
lesson here verse 11. God told
00:22:40.30\00:22:46.10
Elijah .
00:22:46.10\00:22:48.63
The message for those who are
occasionally deeply depressed is
00:23:18.96\00:23:24.56
that furious activity - wind,
earthquake, fire - is not the
00:23:24.56\00:23:29.70
answer. A time is needed for
quiet reflection, to feel the
Lord's presence. Psalm
00:23:29.70\00:23:36.80
46:10 says .
00:23:36.80\00:23:41.56
To be sure, Elijah is not the
only person in scripture who at
00:23:49.93\00:23:53.83
times was depressed. It happened
to Jesus. He was frustrated that
00:23:53.83\00:23:59.03
even his closest disciples often
misunderstood him. He stood on a
00:23:59.03\00:24:03.13
hill overlooking Jerusalem one
day and broke into tears because
00:24:03.13\00:24:07.13
the people would not listen. One
night, as he prayed in a garden,
his distress was so great that
00:24:07.13\00:24:12.40
scripture says he sweat great
drops of blood and begged for
00:24:12.40\00:24:18.40
escape. The word from the Lord
in all this is that deep
depression occasionally
00:24:21.93\00:24:26.86
happens to the very best. The
story of Elijah offers a
prescription for dealing
00:24:26.86\00:24:33.53
with it. We need to do a better
job taking care of ourselves
00:24:33.53\00:24:37.90
physically (eating right, proper
rest, exercise). Do not neglect
00:24:37.90\00:24:47.53
our roots - set time aside for
things that are ultimately
important (quiet time for
00:24:47.53\00:24:53.93
prayer, study and reflection)
And we need to remember that we
are not alone - there
00:24:53.93\00:24:59.00
were and are caring
and supportive friends, and
00:24:59.00\00:25:05.66
especially the one scripture
calls "the friend who sticks
closer than a brother," our Lord
00:25:05.66\00:25:11.63
and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is
the one who invites us, in our
00:25:11.63\00:25:18.30
deepest, darkest moments, "Come
to me, all you who labor and are
heavy laden and I will
00:25:18.30\00:25:26.90
give you rest."
00:25:26.90\00:25:28.90
Let us pray. Father in heaven, I
pray that you draw near to those
00:25:32.26\00:25:36.20
who are suffering at this time.
Particularly those that are in
00:25:36.20\00:25:41.60
the midst of depression and
anxiety - bring comfort to their
souls, to their hearts and
00:25:41.60\00:25:46.56
to their minds. Be with each
and every viewer I pray in Jesus
00:25:46.56\00:25:55.20
name, Amen. >>Dave: God is great
and beyond all human
comprehension. We are told
00:26:12.20\00:26:15.86
that his eyes are even on the
sparrow, therefore his eyes are
00:26:15.86\00:26:21.73
on us. Pastor Bill has prepared
a book that includes all of the
messages in this series.
00:26:21.73\00:26:25.63
The book is called "Fear not,
for I am with you" We would like
00:26:25.63\00:26:30.10
to send it to you as our gift.
