    A Boy Called Joe
    Douglas Denny

    During the Depression and World War II, conditions were very tough.

    In the suburbs, it was quite common for two families to live in one house.

    The barter system existed. If you had fruit, you swapped it for eggs or vice versa.

    People helped each other out.

    Nothing was wasted.

    One example was butter wrapped in greaseproof paper. The paper was used to grease the inside of a cake tin and then used to light the fire in the stove.

    The Golden Book of Creation
    Elena the Greek

    We are all going through spiritual awakenings and always looking for our truth, inner truth, universal truth, ways of harmoniously being with each other, growing, and ever-evolving in our everyday lives. It takes a lot to find the courage within to shift any “truths” that are no longer serving in a meaningful way, but mostly what it takes is moments of self-reflection and deeper understanding of the role we are here to fulfill in a way that means something to us. It’s not always easy to look back and reflect, and it’s not even easy to be present and experience uncomfortably any situation that is here only to provide wisdom and teachable moments. My advice? Grab these moments and make the best of them. Unbecome who you thought you were and explore with all your inner power who you truly are in every aspect of your being, and let that golden light of yours shine unapologetically at its best ability. This is the point where you find your true calling and purpose in life.

     

    The way to treat life is with humor and wisdom in order to find the inner truth and ways to share it with those you appreciate the most.

    As always, …

     

    … be True to YourSelf & be your True Self!

  • Losing Arthur
    paperback
    Losing Arthur
    Patricia Morgan

    This book is quite a tough read. Because the reality of caring full-time for your loved one and seeing them go downhill over a number of years with a terminal illness is quite a tough thing to do. But thankfully there are funny incidences that do occur; otherwise, I am not sure one would survive!


    But despite the trauma, tears, tiredness, and tedium of what becomes routine for everyday life, the experience does bring you both closer together. It is also peppered with so many acts of kindness, help and goodwill from friends, family and medical staff.


    And most importantly are the carers whom you invite reluctantly at first into your home. Initially they know nothing about you, nor you about them, yet they are prepared to share this journey with you to the very end.

  • Loves on The Way to School
    paperback
    Loves on The Way to School
    Dr Dariush Pourkian

    There was no general opportunity for adolescent boys and girls to get to know each other in our closed and traditional society in the years between 1959 and 1963, when these events were in process.


    Families were not expected to be all open-minded and give their sons and daughters the freedom to choose their own love. They tried to marry off their daughter as soon as possible to a boy from their family, such as a cousin, or to the son of their business partner, to prevent her from spoiling and fooling around. Beautiful girls were courted and taken away at a very young age. Most of the time, the partner had to be approved by the parents in the first place. The girl’s decision came second. At the same time, in Europe, in order for young people to get to know each other, classical and modern dance classes and competitions, weekend gatherings, and group picnics were arranged. Then, the opening of various discotheques followed.


    One of these possibilities for boys and girls to get to know each other, outside of family restrictions, was on the way to school, which is the main topic of this book.

    Butlins to Bedlam
    Michele Coley

    Welcome to the nightmare that any mother would not wish to go through. This story concerns my life and circumstances that nearly ended my life. The details in this story may upset certain people just as it upset me. The dramatic true events that I have expressed in this story are traumas that were reported on television and in tabloid newspapers in the late eighties.


    It has taken me over thirty years to build up the courage to express my feelings and get over the trauma of the horrific turmoil that I was put through in the prime of my life due to the negligence of people out of my control. Writing this book has eventually helped me get some relief after the pain and suffering I and my family were put through at the time and has also helped me to close this chapter in my life. I think anyone who reads this book would identify with my long-term sorrow.

  • The Heavenly Visit
    paperback
    The Heavenly Visit
    Krishna Dass

    “A Journey of Struggles, Faith, and Divine Intervention” is a deeply personal and powerful account of one woman’s transformation through sorrow, faith, and an extraordinary encounter with the divine. In this inspiring autobiography, Krishna Kanta Dass opens her heart to share her journey from Hinduism to Christianity, revealing the trials, grief, and unshakeable faith that led her to accept Jesus Christ as her Lord and Saviour.


    After 22 years of reflection, Krishna shares the life-changing moment that altered her destiny—a heavenly visitation that brought with it a divine message and a mission she could no longer ignore. Through vivid recollections, she recounts the angelic encounter that filled her room with blinding light and the scent of gardenias and the voice that called her to share God’s message with the world.


    This book is not just a testimony—it is a call to faith, obedience, and spiritual awakening. With unwavering honesty and a heart full of gratitude, Krishna invites readers to walk with her through pain, healing, and divine purpose. A Journey of Struggles, Faith, and Divine Intervention will stir your spirit and inspire you to reflect on your own path, reminding you that no matter how dark life gets, God’s light can find you.

  • Clinical Signs
    paperback
    Clinical Signs
    Adrian Scott

    Doctors have a unique view of the human body. Centuries of observing the sick and decades of testing these observations against science. A diagnosis starts with interrogation followed by observation, clinched by the appropriate test.


    Clinical skills are focused on patients, but friends and family are not exempt. The real test comes when the physician himself becomes acutely unwell without warning.


    This is a story of the continuing importance of clinical signs in the age of artificial intelligence. The story of a doctor who for decades used his diagnostic skills with and without the aid of technology and who suddenly becomes dependent on the healthcare system in which he has spent his whole working life.


    The author was a clinician in the National Health Service for over 40 years, specialising in diabetes and endocrinology. He has worked in teaching hospitals around the UK, Japan and New Zealand, as well as a mission hospital in Tanzania and a refugee camp in Zaire. This memoir documents the way clinical skills are acquired and applied in the care of the sick. However, when illness descended out of the blue, he was forced to apply those skills to himself whilst simultaneously adopting the role of the patient.

  • Born Baggaged
    paperback
    Born Baggaged
    Marleen De Villiers, PhD

    With this book we find that there is reason to believe that we can break free from our psychological suffering. Dr Marleen De Villiers shows how you can find the gift in the wounds that you have uncomfortably lived with for too long. She expertly places psychotherapy in the spotlight, showing us that there is another way. This book debunks the uncomfortable myths of psychotherapy and offers a way forward into personal growth, self-mastery and authenticity. By offering researched facts alongside stories and vignettes of patients and clients emerging from her professional psychotherapy practice, she succinctly creates a floor plan resulting in a comprehensive offering for understanding our personal and collective psychological profiles.

     

    Ultimately, Born Baggaged embraces the power of transformation and the possibility of metamorphosis. The message is clear: you can change your limiting self-belief and restrictive patterns, you can create the life that you deserve and you can be the person who you have actually been born to be, authentic and free.

     

    “Why do we believe the lies that we live with that started in our families and that we continue to drag around our relationships like filthy rags? Do we tell ourselves new and smarter lies as we go through life, or can we choose differently, to grow through life’s challenges and upheavals, as much as we celebrate the magnificent moments that come around as well?”

    Principles of Persuasion
    Rashad Kheir

    In a world where opinions are plentiful and voices compete for attention, Principles of Persuasion offers a measured and thoughtful exploration of the delicate art of changing minds, not through loud insistence, but through gentle persuasion.Drawing upon the enduring traditions of logic, rhetoric, and the ever-shifting influence of circumstance, this work examines the subtle forces that shape belief, inspire agreement, and guide human decision. It is not a treatise on manipulation, but a meditation upon persuasion as a refined craft, an exchange between speaker and listener.Witty in its reflections, yet gracious in its tone, it reveals that true persuasion is neither a matter of force nor a matter of flattery, but a cultivated art founded on integrity, clarity, and mutual respect. These pages offer not a manual of tricks, but an invitation to influence with honour and purpose.Let this be your invitation to persuade and influence with its enduring principles.

    paperback
    Things that Concentrate the Mind
    Simon Bush

    Let us review some problems we face and the actions we must take.


    In medicine, we need to focus on the person more than the disease they carry. Death should be seen as a natural part of life.


    The Liberal Party of Australia must return to the centre ground if it hopes to govern again. Its grievous loss in the 2025 election demands reform for survival.


    Climate change is here… the greatest crisis of our time. Failure to act decisively is treachery to our young and an abrogation of what we should be doing.
