This is the story of Chris Davies, an ordinary football-loving man who started a local amateur team and had ambitions to take the team all over the world. Starting on a muddy park pitch in Manchester, the team went on to play in famous stadiums in Barcelona, Mexico City and New York, amassing 96 matches in 30 different countries, against 7 National teams and before over 312,000 spectators. The team - called Grasmere Rovers - and now known as Cheadle Town playing in the North West Counties League - toured under the name Manchester AFC and are still the only English soccer team, amateur or professional, to have played in Cuba. The author organised all the tours as Chairman of the club, and quickly learned that international football tours can involve much more than just playing the beautiful game! Being caught up in a coup in Kenya was just one of a catalogue of problems and amusing incidents in exotic locations from Povoa de Varzim to Port au Prince and Nice to Nassau. The story also explains how Chris' fears of flying were conquered and turned into over 400 hours in the air in everything from a small Piper Cherokee to a Jumbo jet. Many famous names have been involved with the touring scene including Sir Bobby Charlton, Alfredo di Stefano, Pele, Jairzinho, Rajiv Gandhi and Ronnie Biggs.

In this machine-age fantasy epic, dark beings are quietly setting the scene for a coming apocalyptic event. There are countless scenarios where the world will face a hellish outcome, but still a few remain where peace and goodness can prevail."The Machine," the vast, godlike intelligence behind reality, spins and calculates, and the few remaining paths to the UNpocalypse all involve four childhood friends acting together as a catalyst for good. Can their childhood bonds survive the tests of time and the hardships of adulthood? How can four kids from a poor neighborhood fight against a world of "hidden monsters"?

It is a place of illusion, filled with demons disguised as leaders, heroes disguised as the weak, reality-wielders, cross-dimensional visitors, machine-whisperers, and dream-assassins. New Anglia is a place where the stains of past sins are piled into skins and walk the land in human form, and where normal, good-hearted people can still make a difference.

Joy is to faith what breath is to life. Without either, both are sure to die. This is the true story of a man who put the "PRO" in prodigal son for much of his life. He found himself addicted to drugs, heading to federal prison, and on his knees before the Lord in a cold, dark jail cell. This book was written to draw the lost and to fan the flame of believers alike, and there is truly something for EVERY person who reads it.
