Much of the language of our cultural lives assumes the existence of realities which we cannot see or touch. Mathematical rules, such as the principles of addition or subtraction, are examples of such unseen realities. But so are very many further concepts - such as nature or beauty. You can see and touch instances of nature or beauty, but you can't touch nature or beauty themselves. These concepts endure beyond the particular examples.This short book discusses, in a non-academic way, various aspects of human experience - music, ritual, place, love for instance - to identify such timeless aspects. The very nature of our minds suggests a timeless dimension. Supernatural or psychic phenomena are not the focus, though their existence is not ruled out.Thus it offers fruitful and accessible ways of considering enduring aspects of our human experiences. Here you will find a refreshing and heartening way of thinking about life: the places and things we value, our relationships, our losses and bereavements, and our futures.¿If you have ever wondered if events or places or experiences or people can have an existence beyond what you can see or touch, this book will be of interest to you. Even if you are a very down-to-earth person who is only concerned with what can be measured or proved, you will find here ideas to challenge.

This book has been written to be a self help book so that the public in general can protect themselves from the worst effects of the next Icelandic volcanic eruptions. We have already seen in March & April of 2010 what a small volcanic eruption did when Eyjafjallajokull blew up and caused chaos over the skies of Europe and North America. This was the least harmful perhaps of all 18 - 25 massive strato volcanoes some of which I believe could erupt in the next 5 years. Ones like Katla which are linked to EJ (short version of Eyjafjallajokull) are about 10 times bigger than EJ.Then there is Laki which erupted in 1783 and 1784 and caused a huge cloud of yellow poison mustard gas to spread over Europe potentially killing about 1 million people and yet no one today knows about this volcano, this is one of the biggest killers the world has ever known possibly killing up to 6 million people worldwide due to its effects upon the Jet stream and Monsoon rains and yet only a handful of Nordic Volcanologists and scientists seem to know about it. My book will educate the public to the dangerous relationship between human civilizations and volcanic eruptions which have profoundly changed the way previous civilizations and historical eras progressed or collapsed as the case may be.

"Standing Out" - it's not just a phrase, but an ethos that calls for distinguishing oneself from the crowd. Yet, true distinction goes far beyond the superficial aspects like eccentric hairstyles or bold fashion choices. It is anchored in the depth of your character, the strength of your values, and how these are mirrored in your actions.In the journey of life, standing out for the right reasons is synonymous with upholding high moral standards and values. In a world where such virtues are seemingly diminishing, preserving them becomes your beacon of strength. It's about being remembered for the right reasons, leaving a lasting impression of integrity and excellence in your wake. Whether it's a job interview or a first date, making a positive, lasting impression can be a game-changer.Your conduct, your demeanour, and most importantly, your ethical principles frame the way others perceive you. Your reputation, intrinsically tied to your name, is moulded by these impressions. The intriguing aspect of reputation is its extensive influence; it can precede you, shaping perceptions even among those who haven't met you.Are you prepared to Stand Out? Not just on the surface, but in a deeply significant manner that aligns with your high standards and moral values? In a time of moral erosion, standing out for the right reasons doesn't only fuel your professional success, it also enhances your personal life. Allow this book to steer you on this transformative journey, empowering you to leave a lasting mark on the world.

In thinking about the contents of these books, which I believe God led me to read, then seeking the Lord for inspiration, three booklets grew in quick succession. "The Good News", a testimony of how the Lord has guided me since becoming a "real" Christian. "Where did we go wrong?", how we as Christians and a church have moved far away from God; and "Reformation and the church", about what Christians and the church have neglected and forgotten over the years. To truly know and experienced the full, entirely powerful glory of God, His awesomeness brilliance in appearance and the mighty God, Who performs miracles. In the UK, we have lost and indeed many have never experienced the total magnificence of God and we need to discover this again to fully empower Christians to reveal God to the world.In this book, I have tried to give you a flavour of what the Lord has shown me in the books I've read, and especially in the Bible, God's inspired word to the world, together with the booklets, God inspired me to write. I have called the book "Who Cares" with a subsidiary title "Is there a God who cares for you?" Outlining what I have experienced of God leading me over the 40 years, since I first became a Christian. It has not always been easy, sometimes wondering if God is there, if He is real, but looking back over the years, I realise the answer has to be yes. God is real, because I have met Him and heard from Him. He has guided me in difficult times and healed me of sickness, led me to places I would not have thought to go, brought me to meet some amazing people and on occasions given me a glimpse of His Glory. These things I would like to share with you to encourage you to seek more of God, on your continued walk with Him, so you can have a greater experience of His Majesty but even more, come to know His great love for you.The book is attempting to answer three questions. Firstly "Is there a God who cares?", giving some answers to those who have doubts or disbelieve. And showing through the life of one man, a family then a nation, whom God chose to reveal Himself to, that He exists and has a purpose for him and all mankind. Secondly "a God Who cares for you," in telling of how God has shown in my life how he cares for me, can help you to also know how much God cares for you. Thirdly "How God cares for the people of world, by seeing how the Church began and more specifically how the Church grew in the UK. Finally I try to answer the question "Where have we gone wrong?" and suggested how this might be put right. I used the term Church , because most people have an understanding of what is meant by that, but in fact the word Church is really relating to the people, not building.I pray that as you read this book, it will inspire you and many others to also see the way forward for the Church in the UK, that this nation will again became the people God intended us to be, reaching out to the people of the world with the love God has for us.

Follow Jimmy on his journey from his birth, through to the birth of his first child at the age of 21. His early life was filled with every kind of deprivation, he was constantly living on the edge of starvation, the threat of death was never far away either from his home life or from his multiple abusers, the authorities knew what was going on but they didn't help, the most they did was observe, the schools also knew the treatment he was getting at home, every day of his young life was lived in fear, his mind, his body, and his very soul were shattered, 3 times he was placed into a children's home, a place that should have offered a bit of safety, but this place was no better, it was just another place of fear and terror and abuse, only this time at the hands of strangers. for little jimmy no matter where he turned, he found no peace or comfort, his abuse and torment went on until he was in his early teens. Jimmy's early life left him confused with what he was meant to be, was he straight or gay, he hid all the traumas from everyone, at times he would drink away the pain, but it never left him. help arrived in the shape of Judy, she loved his pain away, it was a love he had never felt before, a pure unconditional love for both of them, but this was ripped away from them through lies and deceit, it led to them being jobless, penniless, homeless, a mental hospital, and the ultimate ending of their love, none of it their fault, all done out of pure spite. Jimmy was left alone no Judy, no family, no home, no job, no money, no hope and no help, he tried to get his life back together as best he could, but he would endure more obstacles, a house fire that nearly killed him, a 21st birthday spent alone in the cold and rain, a spell in prison. His life only made sense when his first child was born, its when he began to feel normal, but for over 40 years Judy remained in his head and heart, how could he just forget her, he couldn't.

A collection of poems expressing some of the experiences, thoughts and emotions of the author taken from various periods in his life, often on journeys in a working environment which engendered feelings of a place and of the general environs at that time.

Kraj is still a young, unexplored world. Here sailors are hopeful, merchants are jubilant, and the aspiring scholars of each realm are still teething on what information they can clasp from beyond their borders. Yet for all its promise, Kraj also hosts a forgotten anomaly who withers in hidden confinement. In the sunken heart of an ever-blue forest, an ageless creature is stirred from its perpetual sleep-walk. Cloud-cursed and without memory, 'Lu' is invited by a sorceress to leave his bloomy abode in pursuit of the River Sprite Tlephilisse on the radiant Lila isle. In exchange for recollection and freedom, Lu is instructed to befriend, but ultimately assassinate this innocent creature. After encountering the sprite, and with his first taste of the outside world, Lu's allegience falls into question, and a greater adventure calls from beyond Empryc's tropic coasts. Against the orders of his Mistress, Lu concludes that it is time to think for himself. Equipped with the enigmatic glass-blade Umbra, Lu finds himself faced with otherworldly demons, befriending an enormous lavender fox, and being welcomed into a cult that dwells exclusively in a place of eternal dawn. An amorphous evil shifts beyond the visible horizon, but those most familiar with it are the very same who offer the least explanation. One thing, however, remains clear: no matter how far Lu strays, it seems that he cannot escape the will of his awakener.

Lusaka to London in ANA45 - Tales from along the wayThe author describes various incidents which took place during his overland travels from Lusaka to London in 1986 from Zambia in Southern Africa to London. Travelling in an old Land Rover (with the registration ANA45), these were the days before sat navs or mobile phones, what could possibly go wrong? Leaving Lusaka in February 1986 with a travelling companion (a young Brit called Peter, recruited by the author's wife), the journey was to take 6 months. Only 80 miles from Lusaka the first major mechanical failure on the Land Rover resulted in expensive repairs, using up all of the remaining Zambian cash which had been set aside for fuel. Undeterred we continued to the Tanzanian border where the vehicle was then loaded onto a ferry travelling up Lake Tanganyika. On route up Lake Tanganyika was where the next major incident occurred.After visiting silverback gorillas in the Virunga mountains in Rwanda, and negotiating civil unrest in Chad, the next major challenges involved dealing with serious illness on board and total vehicle breakdown in the Saharan desert. Bartering with the locals for spare parts to repair the vehicle, ANA45 was repaired and the journey continued through Algeria. Peter was now in a medical clinic receiving life saving attention and the author was travelling alone through the desert when the Land rover's chassis split almost completely. Roadside repairs in Morocco saved the day. The journey through Spain passed without incident but the final breakdown occurred in rush hour traffic around Paris!

In my first book the Nature Spirit, Moonpool, told of her interaction with the humans as they developed from the last Ice Age until just before the Roman Occupation. This follows on from there through the Roman Occupation, the Middle Ages and right up to the present day. As Christianity spreads there are times when Moonpool, because she is a Nature Spirit or a Pagan Fertility Goddess, is at odds with the established Church, yet she is simply a created spirit ranking slightly lower than the angels and higher than the fairies. She is more concerned with the people of the valley and continues to get involved with them. She prevents conflicts, she helps them through the Black Death, she helps with personal problems and she even solves a murder and saves men from being crushed while digging a railway tunnel. It is a story of friendship, of loss, sadness and joy. Moonpool knows that she will never be human but the one thing she wants is to be remembered, because in this age of climate change humanity needs the Nature Spirits more than ever. This may be called 'Moonpool Revelation' but there are more than one revelations in this book and much of our perceived history is challenged. You have to decide, is this a work of fiction, or have I been talking to a Nature Spirit?
