I always wanted to ask my 94-year-old grandmother what she did during the war... On a warm spring day in 2012, two elderly sisters; Mabel and Di, sit side by side smiling, as they are about to toast the latter's one-hundredth birthday. Nobody present could have guessed that over 70 years ago in the early spring of 1940 Mabel's life hung in the balance, dependant on the actions of her older sister . . . As an unwilling resident of Templars retirement home, 94-year-old Mabel Hill fills her time stirring up trouble for the unpopular manager Mrs Caunter. These antics are shared only with her favourite grandson, who wants to succeed where the rest of the family have failed, by finding out what she did during the Second World War. The opportunity never seemed to arise though, until he drives her half way across England to attend her older sister's birthday celebrations. His quest to unlock the secrets of Nan's youth is about to begin... Mabel will not yield her secrets that easily though, and her narrated memories first feature a shy schoolgirl growing up in the small Hertfordshire market town of Baldock in the late 1920s and early 30s. Subsequent outings or 'travels' follow, as visits to Mabel's old haunts bring back the fascinating and gripping exploits that epitomised her war, before one final emotional journey to France reveals a startling secret and the shocking truth...

Carl Jung once wrote, "No matter what the world thinks about religious experience, the one who has it possesses a great treasure." Although fewer people than ever go to church, research indicates that perhaps as many as 66% of the population in secularized English-speaking countries are having significant religious experiences. This book explores the causes, nature, and effects of such experiences whether theistic or non-theistic, while indicating how those which are theistic can animate Christian spirituality, theology, piety, and churchgoing, while improving the psychosomatic health of those who enjoy them. This well-informed, wide-ranging study is a fascinating apologia which advocates the importance, beauty, and life-transforming power of a vital but often neglected dimension of human existence. It also sounds a cautionary note by pointing out that the orthodoxy of religious experience must be measured against the parameters of traditional Christian teaching in the belief that while dogmatic faith without religious experience is lifeless, religious experience without dogma is blind.

You may believe that you know the person with whom you are walking down the aisle, but do you know the person that he/she will become after the vows are spoken? What changes take place with the placement of rings? What are the critical issues that you might be facing that you had never addressed, or thought you had addressed? For example: how will you handle money, friendships and family, children, hidden addictions, sex, and cheating? While not insurmountable, they can become overwhelming, and potential battlegrounds for the war that has so often become marriage. Learning to navigate the battles, and choosing the right weaponry, can help you to win the war without destroying the relationship-or yourself.

Do you have a light in your back garden or on your flat balcony? You know, the type which hangs from a bracket on the wall or from a post holding birdfeeders, perhaps. Have you ever looked closely at it when the light is shining? Well, Molly did just that and saw strange creatures moving about inside it. It turned out they were faeries, from The Land of Faerie: a fantastical world where pixies, faeries, unicorns, and other magical creatures live. We can briefly experience what it is like through our dreams - providing we have enough imagination. But Molly discovered it is possible to see and talk to some of these magical creatures not just in her dreams but also when she was awake: through what the faeries called "gateways" between our world and theirs. Yes, you guessed it, the gateways are usually garden lights. However, as you will know I am sure, such lights sometimes don't work - most often because their batteries are run-down. When her light stopped working, Molly discovered that there was more to it than just some run-down batteries. Desperate to be able to talk again with her friends - Maple Leaf, Iris Flower, and Mayfly - she found herself on a journey of discovery which involved learning more about global warming and global dimming. It also involved the whole of The Land of Faerie trying to solve the problems which such conditions were creating for their gateways to our world.

Abandoned Orphaned Manipulated Gay It was no wonder that I became rebellious and resentful. Standing up to all these pressures in my life and faced with my grandmother's mortality, I reverted to the frightened child I thought I had left behind. I was overcome with anxiety and panic attacks; that paralysed me to the point of contemplating suicide. The years of abandonment and feelings of futility following my childhood institutionalisation and the early death of my mother from a lifelong illness, manifested themselves in highly emotional and physical ways that made it impossible for me to function in society - so I withdrew. From within this debilitating experience, I had to find a way through by obtaining the professional help I needed. This is my story of tenacity to live my life with the freedom to make my own decisions.

The Recovery model has been proven to make patient wards safer and show strategies that protect vulnerable patients when being discharged, whilst it demonstrates how all parts of our health service can develop using the recovery initiatives in this book, including GPs, doctors, nurses and other staff throughout our wonderful NHS.
