Through a series of events taken from her own life, Bailey here demonstrates that the power of God is still alive and well, and that miracles are not confined to the Old Testament. Through her belief in God, she has been chosen to witness certain visions and signs of His love in order to provide comfort and guidance to herself and her loved ones.

Frank Kearns was the go-to guy at CBS News for dangerous stories in Africa and the Middle East in the 1950s, '60s, and early '70s. By his own account, he was nearly killed 114 times. He took stories that nobody else wanted to cover and was challenged to get them on the air when nobody cared about this part of the world. But his stories were warning shots for conflicts that play out in the headlines today. In 1957, Senator John Kennedy described America's view of the Algerian war for independence as the Eisenhower Administration's "head in the sand policy." So CBS News decided to find out what was really happening there and to determine where Algeria's war for independence fit into the game plan for the Cold War. They sent Frank Kearns to find out. Kearns took with him cameraman Yousef ("Joe") Masraff and 400 pounds of gear, some of which they shed, and hiked with FLN escorts from Tunisia, across a wide "no-man's land," and into the Aures Mountains of eastern Algeria, where the war was bloodiest. They carried no passports or visas. They dressed as Algerians. They refused to bear weapons. And they knew that if captured, they would be executed and left in unmarked graves. But their job as journalists was to seek the truth whatever it might turn out to be. This is Frank Kearns's diary.

The harrowing story of a man brought to rock bottom again and again by abuse, mental illness, spiritual attack and his own wilful nature. A story of loss and alienation, of loved ones driven away and chances squandered. Ultimately, however, a story of hope and grace, of dreams and visions; a testament to the unshakeable faithfulness of Jesus Christ and a witness to the fact that there is no pit so deep He cannot reach into it and rescue. The story of Clive Jackson - a man with an extraordinary God.

When you grow up in a household where your mother sleeps with the coalman to secure an extra bag or two, and when you're sent out shoplifting whenever food stocks dwindle, you don't put too high a price on honesty. It is no wonder that Harold Perkins describes himself as 'a liar and a thief' when looking back on his childhood in Bradford. But spells in approved school and borstal changed his outlook. Starting up his own scaffolding business, he came to reap the rewards of hard work - though his professional attitude never got in the way of a good laugh with his mates. Once he had earned the nickname 'Maverick', he never gave anyone reason to change it! Packed with anecdotes both hilarious and hair-raising, and pulling no punches when it comes to expressing opinions of others, this is as lively and challenging a memoir as you are ever likely to read.

A spiritual journeyman for over forty years, medium/clairvoyant, teacher, speaker and healer, Caroline (aka Jenny Walker Knight) now tells her story: From her birth, through illness, to marriage and motherhood; from early spiritual awakenings, to the depths and insights of spiritual philosophies, religions and 'truths'; through the travail of violent conflicts and dogma, to the vocational enlightenment of the Great Work at hand - that of man's evolutionary growth - the purpose of this, her present incarnation. And yet, in a world of ever-increasing war and materialism the blessings of 'spiritual gifts' are as a curse to those preferring to cast their fate to the winds of ignorant bliss. If God exists, no matter how you perceive God to be, is there a place for Him amongst those he created to be as gods? You decide!

Being diagnosed with cancer, even an incurable form, isn't necessarily the end of the world. Having lived with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow, for three years (and still counting!) the author shows that with a positive attitude and the right support it is still possible to cope and enjoy life. The book is intended to illustrate this to anyone finding themselves in a similar situation, to thank all who have helped him, a self-confessed coward, to keeping going, and to raise money for appropriate charities. The story begins with his admission to hospital where he spent five months, during which time he had an operation to remove at tumour from his spine, began radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments and almost died from a combination of pneumonia and septic shock. A transfer to a nursing-home for seven months followed, bringing with it more setbacks before he was able to move back home. Three years after his initial diagnosis, he is still defying the odds and he tells his tale in such a light-hearted way that despite the seriousness of the subject matter the overall feeling that the reader is left with is a very positive one and no-one could fail to be affected by such a heart-warming account. The author was diagnosed with an incurable, though thankfully treatable, form of cancer just before his 61st birthday while serving his notice after forty-three years working for the Lancashire Library service. This is the heart-warming and surprisingly amusing story of how this self-confessed coward managed to overcome his lifelong phobia of anything medical with the help of Su, his wife of almost forty years, his family and a loyal band of friends so that he continues to enjoy his retirement, though maybe not quite in the same way as he and Su might have expected it to be.

The Rwandan Genocide began on 6 April 1994, when a plane carrying President Juvenal Habyarimana was shot down over Kigali. This sparked one hundred days of brutal massacres throughout the country, and as the violence and fear escalated, the UN was called on to take action. The Triumph of Evil details the events that took place both in Rwanda and inside the UN that allowed over 850,000 people to lose their lives in one of the most horrifying genocides of the twentieth century. The book is based on the eye-witness account of Charles Petrie, a UN official called in to assist in the region, and it documents what he believes were the failings of the UN when it came to protecting its own staff. In particular, Petrierelates the sinister events that led to the murders of a number of Rwandan nationals who were working for the UN, and were due to be evacuated. Focusing on individual stories and experiences, he highlights how quickly terror can reign when disenfranchised groups are incited to violence under an oppressive system, and how even our most respected institutions can fail when political motivations muddy the waters.

A memoir about a Jewish girl growing up in Germany before and during Hitler's seizure of power, her escape to Palestine and her subsequent life in Britain after she married an English soldier. Later in life she came to devote herself to the education of the young in Germany and Britain on how the horrors of the Third Reich came into being.

With the warmth and humor we've come to know, the creator and host of A Prairie Home Companion shares his own remarkable story. In That Time of Year, Garrison Keillor looks back on his life and recounts how a Brethren boy with writerly ambitions grew up in a small town on the Mississippi in the 1950s and, seeing three good friends die young, turned to comedy and radio. Through a series of unreasonable lucky breaks, he founded A Prairie Home Companion and put himself in line for a good life, including mistakes, regrets, and a few medical adventures. PHC lasted forty-two years, 1,557 shows, and enjoyed the freedom to do as it pleased for three or four million listeners every Saturday at 5 p.m. Central. He got to sing with Emmylou Harris and Renee Fleming and once sang two songs to the U.S. Supreme Court. He played a private eye and a cowboy, gave the news from his hometown, Lake Wobegon, and met Somali cabdrivers who'd learned English from listening to the show. He wrote bestselling novels, won a Grammy and a National Humanities Medal, and made a movie with Robert Altman with an alarming amount of improvisation. He says, "I was unemployable and managed to invent work for myself that I loved all my life, and on top of that I married well. That's the secret, work and love. And I chose the right ancestors, impoverished Scots and Yorkshire farmers, good workers. I'm heading for eighty, and I still get up to write before dawn every day." The paperback edition has been revised, with a new preface by the author.

Nelson Mandela's comrade in the struggle, Denis Goldberg, spent 22 years in an Apartheid South African political prison from 1963 to 1985. In this memoir, Denis, the perennial optimist, writes about the human side of the often painful road to freedom; about the joy of love and death, human dignity, political passion, comradeship, conflict between comrades...and a very long imprisonment. These memoirs offer the reader an insight into an important chapter in the history of our struggle from a different viewpoint because the racist dogmas of apartheid dictated that he would be incarcerated apart from his Black comrades and colleagues. That segregation denied him both the companionship and the counsel of his fellow accused. His was consequently an exceedingly lonely sojourn. But, true to himself and the cause he had espoused from his youth, he bore it with courage and immense dignity.

Based on diaries and his published works, Nichols presents an account of Adrian Fortescue's developing personality with an interpretative overview of his writing. Beginning with Fortescue's family background, it looks at his reactions to clerical training, and the wider scene, in Rome and Austria-Hungry at the end of the nineteenth century and the attempts of a widely read and imaginative man to adjust to the limits of priestly life in the East End of London, and the home counties in the Edwardian epoch.

Roger Terrell has practised as a lawyer for more than twenty-five years. Over his long, varied and often controversial career, he has represented a wide range of clients from all walks of life. These clients have managed to get themselves involved in a myriad of legal issues ranging from the most serious criminal allegations to the most unbelievable, factual situations. Then by a chance meeting with a client involved in professional sport, he became a football agent and subsequently chairman of two football league clubs. In this book, he shares with us his true stories and fascinating behind the scenes accounts of his life and times including:- The inside story, emotions and tactics involved in representing a client charged with the most serious crime - murder, and in this particular case, more distressingly the murder of his wife. The drama of representing a client falsely arrested on suspicion of being a member of the IRA and being involved in a conspiracy to cause a serious explosion in Manchester, which injured two hundred innocent people. The legal problems and human consequences arising from arranged and forced marriages in Pakistan and Bangladesh. A range of interesting cases highlighting the legal problems encountered in the breakdown of relationships, including cases where possession of family pets is sometimes more important than financial issues. The ups and downs as acting as a FIFA registered agent, dealing with professional footballers, big name managers and how the "bung" system works. The controversy and politics involved in the acquisition of two football league clubs and his subsequent appointment as chairman of both clubs, one appointment lasting just one day as their fans rioted. Overcoming serious illness on not one, but two occasions. Interaction with the national and local media and how to sell a story to the paparazzi. Definitely "An Unusual Brief"

This is what I call my own true McCoy of book. By now I am sixty years young; I have spent my life time on mother nature's fields and her countryside. As I wrote my lifetime of stories I had to delve my mind deep back into my past having to recall what happened and how it happened and then writing it down into my story. Believe me, what true stories I do tell, I speak of how things were way back in time in yester-year, I also speak of an old retired head gamekeeper whose lifetime dates way back in time to the late eighteen hundreds and it is his own words that tell his story, telling of how his pheasants were reared the old-fashioned way, out in the rearing fields, speaking of his yearly cycle of all the four seasons, telling his story on the daring poaching he had on his estate, telling the true art of poaching and how it was done. If the poaching isn't in this book, then it probably doesn't exist at all! What a terrific story the old head keeper tells, a real eye-opener for the up-and-coming young keepers of today. Hardback, 500 pages together with my great, detailed sketches!

My father W.G.L. Tonkin was born in Bodmin in 1904 where he lived until he went to Exeter University to train as a teacher. He went to London in 1923, married and had two sons. He taught in Hackney and later became a headmaster in Westminster. He returned to Cornwall, which he loved, whenever he could. His father was a well known ironmonger who owned a shop in Fore Street. Four generations of Tonkins were ironmongers in Bodmin. After retirement he was asked by my brother, Gregory, to recount his experience of life in Bodmin when he was young. A 'Boy in Cornwall' is an account of his experiences.

Every day thousands trust them with their lives, but what do they know of the men and women who fly the airliners of today. Many would agree that airline pilots are different, but their private lives remain a mystery to all but a few. Michael Collins has been flying for over forty years. 'One More Sunrise' is his story. Revealing in many ways, it follows the path of one man's adventure in the skies. Above all his absolute love of the job comes through. For him this wasn't work it was fun. After 'One More Sunrise' the man in the uniform will never seem the same.

A stream of anecdotes of colourful and varied characters, with vivid, saucy descriptions, self-deprecating humour, thoughts and feelings about life and God, family troubles, friendships and help received, prayers and parties - a human account of a parson's life. I tell of characterful ancestors, wartime childhood, classy youth, a grim and glamorous National Service, Cambridge in the '50s, labouring in a steelworks, curacy in industrial Sheffield and later another at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, followed by parishes in Sandwich, Broadstairs and Dorset, to hunting, sailing and times in Scotland. People have often said, "You're not like any of the other Vicars I've met" - only half true and probably a very good thing for the Church of England! I've been changed by visits to Iona, Taize, Israel, a Kenyan shanty town and India in the steps of Gandhi.

This is the statistical story of almost twenty years in the late twentieth century of solid gig-going; a life spent listening and interacting to live music, the story made human by anecdotes arising from the gigs. This epoch includes the most thrilling of musical times, the post-punk era of 1978 to mid 1980s - a period of energy, adventure, originality and innovation, coupled with a growing political/social awareness. The protagonist, however, did so much more besides during these near twenty years, and brief snippets of other events in his life are inserted accordingly. 2011 finds him still happily pursuing this path through life!

I've written another book and this will be one of those that when you pick it up, you'll begin to regret it. You see, I don't read books; I read the Sun newspaper. Actually, that's a lie; because when I get to page three I can't let go of my cock, so I can't turn the pages.
