This collection of Eddie's light verse, Poetry Decaffed, completes a trilogy which began with Poetry Lite and continued with Poetry Free Range. Verses in all three collections touch lightly, briefly and often humorously on life. He writes of this volume: These verses will neither excite nor disturb, But you have to admit that the cover's superb. And he does hope that at least, they will bring you a smile.

During His ministration on the Mount, Christ exhorted His disciples to choose the narrow gate, not the broad one, because only the narrow path and the narrow gate lead to eternal life. Yet few individuals find it. How can we find it? To take the path towards eternal life we must embrace a change to godly living. Tomorrow might be too late. This means we must obey God's commandments, have hearts of forgiveness and be filled with the Holy Spirit, in fear of our Lord. There is no room for pride in the Kingdom of Heaven. The path towards the narrow gate can only be achieved by total submission to His mandates.

Eddie Thompson is an expatriate Manxman who settled in Milton Keynes with his Welsh wife Enid and daughters Kirsty and Gill in 1981. His verses are based on his experiences, observations and thoughts about life and are for the most part refreshingly brief. He published his first volume, Poetry Lite, in 2015. This second collection again covers a variety of subjects from youth to age, singing to shopping and black puddings to religion.

Jim Emerton is a philosopher and a poet as well as an internationally known pigeon racing expert. His travels around the world and his explorations of the natural world near his home have given him endless material as he muses about the wonders and foibles of nature and the folly of man. His verses and epigrams cover everything from pigeons to pop stars and from stars to spirits. "We are all less than specks of dust, mere minnows in what is in here and what is out there."

This book is based on an imaginary diary written by a Christian soldier in World War II, from the opening of hostilities in 1939 to the end of the war in 1945. The accounts of events it covers are based on fact but, as in any military force, rumours and speculation abound from day to day. At times our soldier seeks to add a touch of light-hearted humour, sometimes necessary to sustain morale. The soldier's diary looks at some of these events, together with thoughts about his family and personal life at the time, and reflects on the events of the war as they relate to his Christian life.

A MENSA member who is on a constant quest for new understanding of everything about him, Jim Emerton, who describes himself as a writer, poet and philosopher, has travelled much of the world, from Nepal to Turkey and from Russia to the USA. In the world of international long-distance pigeon racing, he has been a byword for more than thirty years. His adventures have given him plenty of material for verse and philosophical observations covering every subject from the mysteries of the universe to life, death and love. Now for the first time Jim has assembled all his writings in one volume. "As a reflective, poetic and deeply philosophical person, I work from the inner nature of my mind. As an introverted thinker, it becomes a pure way of being."

Pigeon expert, countryman and MENSA member Jim Emerton has been a leading light in the pigeon world for several decades. In retirement, his main aim is to share his experience and skill with fellow pigeon enthusiasts young and old. Jim In Conversation is a collection of his interviews with other prominent figures from the Fancy, interspersed with some profound personal thoughts of his own.
