John Moore and his wife, Margaret Moore (née Considine), were early European pioneers who settled in around 1843 in the North East of what was then known as the Port Phillip District of the Colony of New South Wales and is now the State of Victoria. Like the great majority of their fellow settlers, neither John nor Margaret was born in Australia.John Moore was born in Woodchurch, Kent in 1816. He emigrated from England to New South Wales in 1838 when 22 years of age. In contrast, Margaret Considine was born at Sixmilebridge, County Clare in about 1818. She first arrived from Ireland in New South Wales in 1836 aged 18 years old.Both John and Margaret came from poor rural stock. The prospect of a better life in Australia was no doubt the prime motivation for each to independently migrate across the world to New South Wales.

One day while cleaning out his roof attic, recently retired business consultant Angus Harrison finds a box containing typed and handwritten stories bound together in one neat pile of folders. On further inspection, he discovers that the contents contain the memoirs of his paternal grandfather and World War 1 veteran, someone he didn't know a great deal about. What is contained in those stories will change Angus' life forever, and bind him to the Greek island of his wife's family in more ways that he could have possibly imagined. He discovers that his grandfather and his two friends, Maroula and Mustafa, were active participants in, and had front row seats to some amazing globally significant events.

'Where love commits, law contracts; where love forgives, law seeks redress; where love trusts, law asks for obedience. Living becomes a process of bargaining, not of making love real.'In this second edition of Making Love Real, David Hodges asks whether the 'laws' of Christian Churches encourage or discourage a loving life. He lays bare the difficulties between the Churches as hierarchical institutions and the original intentions of Jesus as presented in the Gospels. He suggests ways that contemporary believers can reconcile their rationality with biblical explanations and allegories written by believers two thousand years ago. Rather than viewing God as a supernatural entity, David explains how each of us can find fulfillment and happiness by making love real in our world.The money received from sales of this book will assist Uniting AgeWell's 'Music For David', a music program that supports people in their homes who are living with dementia, and gives temporary respite to their carers.
