Childhood Memories at Twilight

Childhood Memories at Twilight shows the turbulent relationship between the author and her mother where her siblings were favoured and her emotional journey to become who she is today.

This is a story of a feisty young girl trying to overcome being belittled and bullied, struggling to get out of her mother’s clutches and be independent through education.

She managed to get a degree in Economic Sciences and met her boyfriend who is now her husband of 34 years. She then took a risk and left her country to be with her boyfriend in Antigua where she learnt to sail. Coming from a landlocked country this was very frightening for her because she can’t swim! She got married 18 months later and they moved to England. Sailing became part of her life as her husband was a sailor. She managed to win 3 cups from her Royal Yacht Club Logs. 

The book is about her childhood and sailing to new places and discovering new ways of anchoring on rocks to get privacy, especially in Sweden.

She feels believing in yourself is the way forward to achieving your goals.

Childhoods Are Forever

This compelling book tells the story of a young boy’s progress through the second world war, whilst learning to live with his dysfunctional family and coping with the disruption of wartime Britain. It also reveals his surprising connection with Ian Fleming’s Special Forces intelligence-gathering, Royal Marine Commandos, and the origin of ‘a license to kill’.

His father was one of the first men to be selected after volunteering for ‘very hazardous service’ so the author met many of these brave men and reveals hitherto untold stories of their exploits.

It becomes clear how, through the experience of his intelligence-gathering unit, Ian Fleming knew of the dangerous missions undertaken by these courageous soldiers, fighting their way through enemy lines to obtain classified German secrets and of the many devices they used on their clandestine missions. This helped him create the character of James Bond.

Choices

Genesis 3 in the Bible describes the events that led to man’s fall from grace and into a broken world. This scripture describes how the devil (the serpent) influenced the first instance in which man chose to disobey God. In doing so, man fell from grace and effectively gave his dominion of this Earth away to the devil.

We make many choices daily; we do not, however, consider the implications of these choices. Just as the devil influenced man’s first wrong choice in Eden, he continues today to orchestrate events in each of our lives intending to push us further away from God and closer to eternal damnation.

This is a tale of an individual who learnt through grace the implications of his choices and received an opportunity to turn away from certain death.

“The good shepherd will always seek after a lost sheep.”

Choose Life

Choose Life is a remarkable book about God’s glory and grace that culminates to a crescendo that is vividly expressed in Ephesians 3:

Are you ready to make a choice?

• Whom do you choose?
• What is your purpose in life?
• What is your vision concerning others?

Wendy Govender provides you these stimulating, motivating and astounding messages to progress and sustain your walk and talk with Jesus. The question is: do you want to change?

Choosing Life

Have you ever wondered how to escape from depression? Or indeed, how to help someone escape from such a prison? This book finally opens up the doors to a mysterious world that an outsider cannot normally experience. Up until now, there existed an almost unbridgeable gap between the ‘normal’ world and the ‘depressed person’s’ world. Using a personable and honest narrative, the text provides a unique window of experiential understanding, whereby the sufferer can feel truly helped, and no longer alone; by accompanying someone who has really been there too.

Using a unique approach, interweaving three different strategies comprising hard-won personal experience, a practical cognitive tool-kit that works and God’s living word full of wisdom and truth, the author sign-posts for the reader the pathway towards a real and lasting freedom; a freedom which sometimes challenges our worldly notions of life and success that tend to keep us imprisoned and enslaved.

The book is a powerful and inspiring portrayal of upheaval and renewal, demonstrating to the reader that a strong backbone for life can come from an often overlooked source.

Christian Experiences & Spiritual Growth

Christian Experiences & Spiritual Growth addresses the search for satisfaction with heart and soul happiness. God and being a Christian are seen as its sources. The book defines who is a Christian and how to become one. It dodges none of the trials and temptations in the Christian life but explains how that God as Father, Jesus as Saviour and the Holy Spirit as Guide, Teacher and Comforter, constantly help towards victory, growth, and maturity. Prayer, reading and obeying God’s Word have a pivotal role in the experiences of satisfaction and happiness and the truth that every Christian has a home in heaven is cheering.  

Readers will gain spiritual knowledge and be able to correct erroneous practice as they read through the book with the Bible alongside, paying attention to the scriptural references on subject areas, put suggestions into practice appropriately and grow spiritually. Reading the book over many sittings will be more profitable than attempting to rush through it. I have employed an explanatory strategy for ease of understanding. For example, I have explained the meaning of some words, phrases, and terms in the body of the book and set out comparative tables to illustrate narratives in the text. These can be used for quick references and reminders.

Civilization begins in East Asia

Before the birth of China, Baekje’s ancestors began the Yellow River civilization, the Indus civilization, the Mesopotamian Sumer civilization, and the Aztec and Mayan civilizations in Central America. East Asian cultures and civilizations have spread to every continent of the world. The Chinese people were absorbed into the Korean. A mixture of Korean and Chinese people appeared in Asia for the first time in the time of the Zhou Dynasty.

Classic Motor Cartoon Book

Classic motorcars have been featured in movies and pop songs for over seven decades and contributed to the fun of driving historic cars.

This book of motor cartoons illustrates the adventure and romance of classic and vintage cars which also have been part of automobile racing history – from Louis Renault, Henry Ford and Enzo Ferrari to Kiichiro Toyoda today.

From Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Grandma Duck, Noddy and Big Ears to Bonnie and Clyde, Thelma & Louise and The Italian Job, comedy and tragedy have always been a big part of entertaining motoring history.

These cartoons are accompanied by anecdotes of motoring trivia complementing the extraordinary history of the automobile as we remember it before ‘self-drive’ electric cars will silently kill off the ‘internal combustion engine’.

Clearwater

The author was born and raised in a traditional rural village in the most violently homophobic country on earth – Nigeria. His memoir tells a harrowing story – how he negotiated ostracism, imprisonment, homelessness, violence, extortion and intense persecution. But he is never a victim – drawing on his own spiritual and emotional resources, he overcomes. He seeks to understand the root causes of homophobia, providing fascinating insights into Igbo culture, history, spirituality and cosmology. Moving rapidly from one hair-raising experience to the next, the tight prose and action-packed narrative will keep the reader engaged until the end. At the same time the author provides hope to those facing persecution and violence, and who find themselves in similar situations.

Climate Countdown

This is a true history of resistance. It is a story of climate protest at home and abroad. Climate Camps were the precursor for groups like Extinction Rebellion and Occupy in the UK, at annual week-long camps focussed on fossil fuel hotspots.It is a study in organisation method and state surveillance – and infiltration.

It is the history of the Climate Camp for Action from 2006 to 2010. The camp’s aims were to educate, live sustainably; and take direct action against the root causes of climate change.

Coconut 100 Ways

I am so grateful that after many years of dreaming, I finally have the opportunity to have my own cookbook published. As a young girl I always dreamed of this and after a long time with many days spent walking around with notepads and jotting down all the recipes I could remember and those I created, I have finally reached the goal which seemed to be so elusive. Creating dishes has always been something which gave me a lot of joy and has always been and will always be my passion.

I have used coconut in nearly every recipe in some way. It is the most versatile fruit I have ever known. The coconut ‘meat’ is used for medicinal purposes, cooking and beauty products. The shell can be used to make decorative items. The husk for cleaning. So come with me to a small town in St. Thomas, Jamaica, surrounded by rivers and join my neighbourhood as we all get together and cook, drink and have a good time.
