Here are the poems written by the Christian author, Barbara Fleming, through her long life. Full of joy and her love of Jesus Christ, they are uplifting verses for all to share. Her previous books include an enthralling history of the town of Lewes and her "Escape" there in 1954 from suburban London. Following these, her more recently written works have all been fascinating and uplifting studies of the Bible. Born in 1924 in Croydon, she graduated at University College, London in 1944 and has been a teacher, a writer, and, for nearly twenty years, the superintendent of her local Sunday School. She is now retired and shares all the joys of the East Sussex countryside with her family and her friends.

This readable and delightful book tells the story of Jesus - his birth, his calling as the Son of God, his time of preparation for his God-given task in the remote isolation of the Essenes, his ministry, his healing powers, his conflict with the Jewish leaders of the day, his betrayal and crucifixion, and finally of his glorious resurrection from the dead and ascent into Heaven to sit on the right-hand of God. It is a true story of actual events that changed the world for every one of us - of a real man, Jesus of Nazareth, who is the Christ, the Messiah, who brought us the glad tidings of the Gospel, and who still lives today!

Here is a book of the great missionary of all time-Paul! Born in the Greek city of Tarsus, we follow his youth through to his Pharisaic development-then to his stupendous conversion to Christianity! Then, in a life changed beyond all belief, we travel with him the length and breadth of the Roman world, blazing the glory of Jesus Christ to Jew and Gentile alike. At last we meet him in Rome, with Peter, laying the ever-lasting foundation of our Christian faith through all the ages to come. The Author Barbara Fleming was born in Croydon in 1924.

Here is a book to bring to radiant life one of the great heroes of our Bible, Jacob, the grandson of the magnificent Abraham. Often much misjudged, he was a truly great man himself, and here you can judge him for yourself as you travel through his adventurous life, and see him, in reality, as the strong and wonderful founder of our faith in one true God.

Here is a book to bring that great prophet Elijah to life! He is not just a figure of the pre-Christian World, but a real man-a man of great courage fighting against terrifying evils, but always conquering in a supreme trust and faith in his one true God. Here is the man who Jesus himself announced would be sent to proclaim his own coming of 'Saviour of the World'-Elijah, the greatest prophet of all time.

'And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light!' (Genesis 1:3.) Our God is the source of light and lives in light unapproachable-yet He has shone into our lives by sending his only Son Jesus, who has lit up our lives with love and salvation. Jesus became the Light of the World so that whoever follows Him 'will not walk in darkness but have the light of Life.' (John 8:12.) Barbara Fleming makes us aware of this Light in her delightful little book and shows us how easy it is for us to access this light, through the Bible that is 'a lamp unto our feet', through our worship and prayer. How wonderful it is to live in the Light of God's glorious Kingdom! As she says, 'Jesus came to light our way into this "Kingdom" of our almighty God' so that the entire world might be filled with 'His Love, His Light and His Joy.'

I write this book for all those who have, at last, learnt and acknowledged the glory of the coming to earth of our Saviour Jesus Christ, to be our dearest, loving friend. "Behold! I stand at the door and knock!" And now you have flung open the door of your life to let the truth of the love of our Father God flood in! Now you are very blessed "converts to Christianity." We welcome you into your new life - a life of joy and thanksgiving. Here, in this book, is your new path from now on. It is written as a very simple guidance to help you on your way. May you become a great and glorious Christian and be truly blessed.

Combining an autobiography written with humor and a record of the personal discovery of the deepest wisdom teachings of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of Dzogchen appears at first glance to be an unlikely partnering. Beginning the main story at the 50-year mark also seems a bit unusual. Ms. Fleming takes the reader from one incongruous event to the next with lighthearted asides and anecdotes and translates them into universal principles that have marked her progress on the path of spiritual self discovery. Multiple examples of real life applications provide a map for those who may wish to set off on their own spiritual journey.

It is true that, with modern technology, we can now reach the farthest corners of the world more readily, to spread the Gospel of our Christ Jesus; but have we progressed in our personal knowledge of God and His wonderful Son, Jesus? These, and many more questions relating to the practice of our Christian faith in the modern world, are explored in this book. Barbara Fleming draws frequently on illuminating passages from the Testaments, and sprinkles her text liberally with quotations from inspirational faith writing through the ages, as well as stories from her own experience. Join her as she sets out on a quest to define the kingdom and its meaning to us today. Barbara Fleming was born in Croydon, England and educated at St Anne's College, Sanderstead and University College, London. Married with three daughters, she is now retired, after leading the local Sunday school for nearly twenty years. She is the locally acclaimed, published author of Lewes, Two Thousand Years of History.
