With the outbreak of World War II, two adolescent boys find themselves in jobs beyond their capabilities: Ray Reilly as the apprentice embalmer at Dugan and Son and Bill Dugan in trying to convince his parents that there is a role for him in the family business. Ray soon gains knowledge and skills to prepare him for life: hearse driving, embalming, roof patching, the importance of comic books in an adolescent girl's life, the hidden needs of adult female pianists, and avoiding death when placed between a pack of crazed dogs and a squinty-eyed old sheriff with a big game rifle. At the war's...

Sometimes when all is well, life has a nasty habit of jumping up and kicking one in a painful part of one's anatomy. The comfort and familiarity of the commonplace gives way to other imperatives and things are never quite the same again.

Sidelined in his early forties from his high flying financial services job, he also faces the prospect of divorce and estrangement from his children. Alas it never rains but what it pours and his desperate efforts to...

I hope this small book will help you see how the Cross can be a positive force in you life today. I urge you to read it in conjunction with my other book What The Church Won't Tell You About Healing. Although there may be a little repetition it does go into much greater depth about the healing aspect of the Cross. I have no particular qualifications for writing this book other than being an imperfect follower of Christ and these thoughts and opinions are purely my own and I hope God's. I may have been hard in this book on my own Roman Catholic Church but I feel I have the right to express my...

All teachers dread "the call," the inevitable visit from Her Majesty's School Inspectorate. Everyone believes in raising school standards but schools have been tested to destruction in recent years. Teachers are becoming disillusioned and instead of helping to raise standards they have taken their eye off the ball in trying to second guess what Ofsted requirements are: Safeguarding, boys' falling standards, girls' falling standards, behaviour; whatever is the flavour of the month. Dave Storey is a bog standard, flawed but decent Year 6 teacher and deputy head fighting to keep his head above...

Welcome boys and girls (and any grown ups) and thank you for choosing to read my book about Bede of Jarrow. Some people call him Saint Bede but more about that later. This a fictional account of his life as a young boy growing up in the kingdom of Northumbria now Tyne and Wear. It is my idea of what could have happened to a young person growing up in a land where very few people could read and write and life was hard. Some of the things I have described could not possibly have happened as the thing I have described had not been invented or discovered. This is known as an anachronism or...

Most people have some degree of faith and many have some indistinct faith in some sort of supernatural life. You just have to think about the number of films and dramas that concern themselves with the supernatural. In this small book I will seek to explore what the revealed Word of God tells us about faith and how it can be a real help in our own personal lives. If you do not belong to a church then I hope this will be an entry point to your faith journey. If you do belong to a church then prepare to be challenged

I always preface these books by stating that I have no particular qualifications for writing them. Whilst true I still feel that I have a worthwhile contribution to make to the debate. Whether we like it or not we will all require God's mercy at some point during our lives or at death as we stand before the throne of God. All the nay sayers and unbelievers will have bend the knee and proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God. It does not say that they will do it willingly but do it they will. Instead of hoping for a merciful judgement after death, read this book and see how you...
