Much like the many levels of conscious and unconscious dialogue that is our life, the book captured your transitions by creatively combining these modes of expression." "... the book is great!! I couldn't put it down last night." "Beautiful and magical." "I am particularly taken by his artwork; it is as rich and as honest as his narrative." "surprising...delightful...innovate." "How dyslexia can be a gift..." "The writing style is compelling and unique. It pulled me in right from the start. The spiritual teaching on the Self within flows throughout. A lot to think about..." "I appreciate the abandonment of any pretense in the narrative of his life....written with the simple beauty of raw truth...I will read it again and will no doubt discover more beauty and truth."

YORKIE BOYS GO FISHING is set in the wonderful Yorkshire Dales and in Ireland of the 1950s. It follows the adventures of the boys and girls you met in YORKIE BOYS and in YORKIE BOYS AND GIRLS.These amusing stories tell of the childhood of a lifelong fisherman, of early and failed attempts to catch wily Swale trout, of unforgettable days in an Ireland long gone, of the father who almost drowned someone else's dog, of fishing with a homemade bomb and nearly sending the priest to his maker.Later, in teenage years, the Yorkie Boys narrowly avoid death by drowning, become expert poachers, meet a fishing legend, experiment with beer and girls and learn that there is a lot more to fishing than catching fish.For those old enough to remember the 50s and 60s, this book will re-kindle happy memories of their childhood.For those too young to remember, it will re-create a world of innocent enjoyment enjoyed by their parents - a world lost for ever.

In Creaturely Theology a wide range of first-rate contributors show that theological reflection on non-human animals and related issues are an important though hitherto neglected part of the agenda of Christian theology and related disciplines. The book offers a genuine interdisciplinary conversation between theologians, philosophers and scientists and will be a standard text on the theology of non-human animals for years to come. It is wide-ranging in terms of coverage and accessibly written. It is ideal as a key text in any postgraduate course engaging with the ethics, theology and philosophy of the non-human and the post-human. AbProfessor Celia Deane-Drummond is Professor of Theology and the Biological Sciences and Director of the Centre for Religion and Bioscience at the University of Chester.Dr David Clough is Senior Lecturer in Theology at the University of Chester.

Set in the Yorkshire Dales of the 1950s, Yorkie Boys tells the down-to-earth story of the growing pains of a gang of kids. In a pre-PC world, their behaviour mirrors the innocence of a lost age. Their humorous exploits explore the pains and delights of their early sexual encounters. Mischievous adventures and hilarious conflicts pervade the book in a beautifully-crafted re-creation of post-war Britain, a world without toys, a world where the kids had everything, but nothing. Tragic elements are sensitively drawn in this fascinating portrayal of a forgotten world.

Offers a constructive proposal for the shape of contemporary Christian ethics drawing on persuasive interpretation of the ethics of Karl Barth. The author argues that his ethical thought remained defined by the theology of crisis that he set out in his 1922 commentary on Romans, and that his ethics must therefore be understood dialectically.
