The book features a poem entitled 'The Cross'. It was written from the viewpoint of the tree that was used to make the cross upon which Jesus died. The poems in this book cover a span of about 35 years and were inspired by those who have touched the author's life and from experiences in his life. Most were written to encourage and challenge a persons walk with God. There are two lanterns on the cover that make one think of standards from the past that are both fragile and beautiful. These poems lift up our families, our country, our church and our Lord. It is the prayer of the author that they will help you to have a closer walk with each.

Complex Words in English presents a comprehensive account of present-day word formation in English. Starting with a discussion of some basic issues, including the definition of 'word', motivation, lexicalization, productivity, the relevance of historical information and the usefulness of dictionaries and other data-bases, the book then moves on to describe in detail a variety of prefixing, suffixing and compounding patterns - all illustrated with copious up-to-date examples. Other topics that are explored in-depth include diminutives, backformation and other effects of reanalysis, Latin and Greek based formations and sound symbolism. Many examples are given in context: recent writing and the records of OED on CD ROM are drawn on to demonstrate the relationship between spontaneous coinages and familiar items. The comprehensive coverage allows an instructive overview and comparison of patterns and of the many and diverse factors relevant to the notion of productivity. Throughout, the discussions are placed in the context of other recent and less recent work in the area and the book also contains a useful extensive bibliography.
