This book challenges what we have always been taught about what the first Christians believed and how their church was organised, it reassess the role and importance of the main players in the early church movement and throws light on the how a persecuted church was miraculously transformed into the Imperial Church of Rome. This not a book about theology, it is a walk through the first centuries of Christianities with their many diverse beliefs and colourful heroic characters, men and women, and is an assessment on how these people shaped the winding course of history that transformed the early church from a small persecuted Eastern Mediterranean religious sect into what would become Europe's dominant religion and how the wide and tolerant views of the church were transformed into the narrow and intolerant orthodox position of the medieval world.

The book 'My Hope is Beautiful' is divided into two parts of short verses of prose in Part A and poetry in B that evinces the essentials for glittering reflections of our lives as worthier examples. That life places demands on everyone is settled from existence, but none of us can afford to respond without purposefully designing our dispositions with the finest truths regardless the cost. Reading is for knowledge and instruction and this project is a valid expression of the two purposes combined in a box. This project is considered a brief go to encyclopaedia of endurance during struggles, victory over chaos and sustainability during order. It is a sum of valid knowledge and incontrovertible instructions. There is no conclusive evidence that we won't make mistakes as we journey on in life but through it all; there comes a moment when we seize the tides of event to create a hope from chaos and sustainability from order, as well as those time when we realise our priority must alter. That time when we conceive the real beauty of purpose and of life as well as when the grossest evil cannot but imagine how we cruise with so much excellence in response to ugliness is the art of beautifying hope. This short project might be such piece with which you may not regret you gifted yourself or a loved one. It is the truest expression of humanity in a brief piece.

I grew up on Canvey Island in the 1950s when life back then was very different from today - unhurried and easy going and although times were hard, we got by - we had to. School was no fun for me due to the name calling and mockery I both endured and had to contend with. The 1953 floods too, hold scary memories. I feared stormy weather at night for many years and I really don't enjoy swimming. It wasn't all bad, there were plenty of fun times too.
At noon on Friday 3rd August 1787 on the Racecourse, Northampton. 5000 people mill around, looking for the best vantage point to see four men hanged in a public execution. They were members of the Culworth Gang, a band of highwaymen that had carried out 47 recorded robberies and many other offences on the good folk of the East Midlands, with little regard for consequence. The gang numbered up to seven on a raid, but only four had been convicted and for them, there was no escape. The makeshift gallows was their fate. Not long after midday the hangman's noose tightened and sent the four to meet their Maker. The gang had roamed the countryside of South Northamptonshire and neighbouring counties for twenty years looking for people to rob. Eventually caught due to carelessness, this is the first full history of the worst gang of highwaymen in the county's history.
