"The Girl In the Tower" is an allegorical tale on romance. Its setting is in ancient, Medieval Times, bringing the reader back to a place where knights & fair maidens & castles & kings are part of everyday life. It is filled throughout with drama, surprises, and inflictions of intense pain from self-indulgent antagonists. This story mixes fantasy (giants, dragons, & fire-swamps) along with a taste of tradition & normal affairs of ancient kingdoms, particularly as related to royalty. Sprinkled all throughout are philosophically challenging moments for the main character (Passionate) and spiritual lessons, leading the reader to take a very deep look into the importance of playing an effective role in the whole process of courtship & falling in love. While the book focuses largely on struggles from the knight's perspective, the princess & her battles are treated as equally intense & important. The purpose of spending more time telling the knight's side of the tale is largely due to the author's passion for helping men everywhere come face-to-face with the Maker's design for their lives, and to catch glimpses into the beautiful mystery of capturing a woman's heart.

Many counter-productive behaviours in children may be anxiety-related and in this book, originally published in 1988, the authors proposed that a disabling level of tension and stress experienced by many children frequently goes unrecognised. This often leads to failure to analyse psychological and educational problems and inappropriate ways of dealing with them. This book was aimed at all professional staff working with children, particularly educational and clinical psychologists and teachers. The book is however written in a jargon-free manner and should have wide appeal. The authors show how tension reduction therapy can help children overcome many problems which may manifest themselves as disturbed behaviour, poor sleep patterns, anorexia, school phobia, or poor relationship-making skills. As an extreme example it is shown how significant gains can be made by cerebral palsied children using these approaches. The book, however, is not just a manual of relaxation training; it advocates a less stress-inducing approach generally to working with children, and gives many case studies.
