Life, thoughts and travels of a Free Spirit, from his humble
origins from a small village in Kashmir to even more unassuming
existence in a small town in the UK. His meetings with various
saints, and in particular, his associations with his spiritual
Master in Kashmir.
'A sickly child not expected to survive, a chubby teenager and a
binge-eating bride? The unlikely beginnings of a health and fitness
legend.' Daily Express 'A story of glamour, success and
achievement, mixed with vulnerability, near-despair and searing
honesty.' Rob Parsons OBE The doctor's voice is sad but firm: 'I'm
very sorry, but I have to tell you that your little girl is
unlikely to reach her 10th birthday.' Years later, having defied
the odds and become a teenager, the same girl discovers a medical
report that tells her, to her horror, she is overweight. That was
the moment the young Rosemary Conley decided to change her life.
After leaving school at 15, training as a secretary and working as
a Tupperware dealer, Rosemary started her own slimming classes in
1972 with an investment of just GBP8. In 1983 she published the
first of 36 books that were to sell in their millions around the
world, alongside millions more of her fitness videos, while also
starring in her own TV shows on BBC and ITV. She became, in short,
one of the most popular and successful diet and fitness experts the
world has seen. But Rosemary's life was not to be one of unbounded
achievement and success. As well as the good times there were dark
and distressing times, and here she tells of the sorrows and
setbacks that were to come - as well as the joy she found, and
still finds, in helping people live longer, healthier and happier
lives.

and inspiring adventure to the heart of India.

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.
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.
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.
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!
S. Anthony of Padua is one of the most popular saints of the
Church, and the story of his life is well known. His status as a
mediaeval intellect and a writer is much less widely known although
S. Anthony was declared a Doctor of the Church in 1946. In this
book Dr Severn explores S. Anthony the Evangelical Doctor,
considering his intellectual inheritance, his writings and his
influence on future thought.
