This highly original collection of 47 lyrical and narrative poems is written around two themes - unknowingness and transcendence. It begins with the short poem "Prelude," which describes a universe where all is in motion and of humans "knowing neither where we journey/ nor why/ but looking to the arc of the sun/ and grateful for its rising." The final poem is "the Dante Tattoo" which concludes with the transcendent -- "this unexpected glimpse/ from Dante's more perfect and far-seeing vista." It includes powerful and moving poems, as well as surprising lyrical pieces about nothing more than the happiness of being alive.

A.F. Atkinson's first and exploratory visit to Palestine - as it was then - came when he was in his early 40s and just a few months before the Second World War started. The 'diary' he kept from that date - in the form of bi-monthly letters back home to churches that were published faithfully in Intelligence magazine - form a remarkable historical record of one man's passion to spread the gospel in general, but in particular to the Jewish people that he loved with the love of Christ.This book, which includes all the letters as well as his own testimony, has been published to be much more than just an interesting archival account, but a help and an encouragement to all who read it who feel a call from the Lord to do His work in whatever field that may be.As it was for A.F. Atkinson, it may be a lonely work, it may be a costly work, it may be a challenging work which even seems to bear relatively little fruit this side of heaven, but the call remains loud and clear nevertheless: "Go, labor on; spend, and be spent; Thy joy to do the Father's will; It is the way the Master went; Should not the servant tread it still?" (Horatio Bonar)."

It is both an honour and a privilege to be called to lead others in worship of God but so often this call is accompanied by feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and even fear. This handbook deals honestly with these issues and reflects on some Biblical characters who had similar reservations when they received God's call to service.It's a book for worshippers and for those who lead worship. It seeks to offer some practical advice and guidance to both worship leaders and worship teams to help and encourage in areas such as: planning and leading the worship time; facilitating Spirit-led worship that flows; recognising hindrances to worshipping freely; knowing what, when and if you should speak during the worship time; leading worship in small groups; rehearsals. Above all I hope that it will help release you into greater depths of freedom and intimacy, and better equip those of you who lead others in worship as you respond to God's call and invitation to worship Him in Spirit and in truth.

Tim and Al are two twelve-year-old boys with a passion for solving mysteries and puzzles. The Highbrow Hotel is overrun with thefts, its squirrels are missing, people are being killed, and even the hotel grounds hold a four-hundred-year-old mystery. The boys are looking forward to a peaceful holiday. It looks like that is not going to happen. "Humour and mysteries, a perfect combination" "A modern day Enid Blyton" "A great little read"

Tim and Al were just two boys with a passion for mysteries and working on their allotment.

"A modern day Enid Blyton" "It is great to see the characters back and grown with new characters who you really care for" "A great way to draw in the young reader with a series of short fast paced stories" "A great sequel to the most enjoyable Digging up a Mystery"

Tim was just an ordinary eleven year old boy with a passion for growing vegetables and solving mysteries.

"Short fast paced stories are an excellent way to draw in the young reader." "Mystery solving with a hint of gardening advice along the way." "A modern day Enid Blyton."
