We are currently witnessing yet another war in the Middle East. Conflicts in this region between various groups have been ongoing for thousands of years. At one time there was even a Mongol army here. At various times the same groups have been fighting each other for centuries. With this background, how can this land be called "holy"? The people of Israel were chosen by God to prepare the way for the coming of the world's redeemer, Jesus, and it is Jesus who makes the land holy. This also includes other lands associated with the Bible: Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and Greece - and indeed extends to the whole world. I was privileged to have spent a significant amount of time in these lands, but realised that this involved an obligation to share. This book is a record of my time in these countries in an attempt to share some insights and help in making these lands of the Bible stories come alive, thus enhancing our understanding of the Bible and Jesus. It may also be useful for those who are planning to make a pilgrimage to these lands. Maybe it is no accident that these holy lands attract so much evil. Yet Jesus came to bring healing, forgiveness and peace.

Like so many people who grew up not knowing their parents, it becomes something of a life's journey to discover who they were, what kind of personality they had or anything that could explain one's own personality traits. This book covers the human conditions of a broken bond between mother and child, the First World War, PTSD, and my discovery of my belonging to an important Scottish Clan. The fact that my mother never bonded with her own mother was perhaps the reason she fell for a smooth talking, well-educated man 20 years older than herself, who flattered her, made her feel special, but carefully concealed his own damaged personality. So, I start my journey with the birth of my mother. If there is such a thing, then my young mother certainly chose an unfortunate time to be born.

A novel for everyone who has ever ridden the advertising and marketing roller coaster. Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1980s London - a stark contrast to Mad Men's buttoned down 1960s Madison Avenue - this story plunges us into the crazy world of Grimshaw and Welby, a small agency whose burgeoning creative reputation draws the unwelcome attention of a large French group in the shape of a hostile takeover. Freddy Grimshaw's team of eccentric personalities fight back the only way they know how: creatively. We delve deep into the cut and thrust of agency life, the intricate dance of politics and presentations, the fraught relationships of staff and clients. Where conservative marketeers are cajoled into buying the wild ideas of a gleefully irresponsible creative department. One that spends as much time devising childish antics and non-PC practical jokes as they do outstanding advertisements. Written with an insider's knowledge and eye for detail this is an entertaining insight into an era of advertising that's hard to believe. Unless you were there. 'It's advertising as I knew it. The fun, the mayhem, the excess. You couldn't make it up: or could you?' -Philip Putnam.

This book has been thoughtfully crafted by the author to demonstrate that family history can be truly captivating. While genealogy provides us with the facts of who we are and where we came from, it is through the art of storytelling that these details come to life, especially when placed within a rich context. By exploring the potential motivations of our ancestors and highlighting the timeless nature of human traits, we can better understand that the challenges and obstacles we face today have been encountered by generations before us. The story delves into the questionable morals of various characters, the cunning ways in which responsibility can be shifted, the manipulation of the status quo for personal gain, filial disputes, familial arguments, and the once-prevailing notion of the divine right of Kings (no pun intended). Rather than serving as a morality tale, this book aims to entertain and illuminate the striking parallels between the past and our modern lives.
