If you were an astronaut traveling far out in space and you looked at the earth, what would you see? A small ball in the huge black universe. That’s where these pictures begin. Then they move closer and closer to the earth, each view revealing new details. Until finally . . . See for yourself. In this wordless picture book with stunning cut-paper illustrations, Steve Jenkins masterfully depicts the many levels of the universe, from the farthest reaches of space to the most familiar corner of your backyard.

A variety of frank, compelling stories depicting love, sadness, sex, hope, violence, and humor, there is no corner cutting within these pages.

“I am a fifty-year-old married father of two who has spent much of his life (when not interrupted by studying or work) outside, either playing sport or walking in the hills.” Geoff Woods’ first book, Looking Up, Looking Down, explores his adventures in the British hills over the past forty years. Starting as a child on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, Geoff casts a wry eye back on his escapades in some of the more remote parts of Britain. Usually on foot but occasionally on a bike, these, without fail, involve fantastic scenery, remarkable weather, and a trip to the pub with his mates. The central theme of the book is Geoff’s long-term ambition to climb the Munros, Scotland’s 3000-foot mountains. He reflects on some of his more memorable trips, usually at Easter and on the friendships forged over a camping stove and a pint. Although Looking Up, Looking Down is not intended to be a guidebook to the British hills, it is a great way for readers to explore iconic upland areas and hidden gems of our beautiful island. It will appeal to readers who enjoy memoirs and laughing at someone else’s expense, as well as those who have an interest in outward-bound-type activities.

Sticks and bones, and dislocated homes. And parasites, and insights, And just let me make it to the mic. And you will see, There is a real mystery, To life, to love, to longevity. The poem above was written during recess, at a chartered school where I was employed as a General Assistant. Nestled behind Brick Church Pike was Smithson Craighead Academy’s playground. Amongst the future Gen Alphas, and Thornburgs; the poem took flight. Sometimes, the external, and internal exploits of life are exactly as they seem.

A fascinating, helpful exploration of the underlying principles of the ancient Chinese discipline of feng shui, with clear and useful recommendations for improving domestic and work environments, the book is grounded in classical Chinese knowledge. One of the cornerstones of the traditional Chinese holistic view of health, feng shui assesses, diagnoses and adjusts the house in relation to the person living in it. The author explains the key universal principles upon which feng shui is based, and the deep relationship between ourselves, our houses and our surroundings. She explains how a classical trained consultant would proceed analysing your house, how to think about each room in your house, and provides practical advice on what to do and what to avoid. With many real life illustrations, the book gives the reader a fundamental understanding of what classical feng shui does, and how to begin to think practically about improving life circumstances.

James Kingston loves to climb. Whether he's scaling a tree at his local park or ascending to the very top of a crane, looking down always brings about the best kind of rush. And yet it wasn't always this way. Afraid of heights as a child, James vowed to confront an almost crippling phobia. He was transformed, and became one of the most daring and unique free climbers on the planet. Today, James is the go-to man for everything HIGH. Think Wembley Stadium or the Eiffel tower - James has conquered some of the most iconic locations in the world. Packed with death-defying POV pictures, Never Look Down tells how James faces down danger, where his favourite free climbing locations are, and takes you to the top of the world.

"Jesus is looking Down" teaches substantially how people can clear the destruction of their sins, the gift of repentance; power of unity and also how important it is for Christians to pray continually throughout life and worship God even after having repented, when man is never clear of sin or sin approaching in whatever the means. Explanations are highlighted with scriptures from the bible along with the author's commentary. An additional inclusion consists of a short version memoir illuminating reason and actual connections to God's unfailing hand. This book inspires thought and encouragement to support a clear walk with God. As a young child, I knew that God was guiding me, revealing things to me, in visions and in dreams though I did not understand completely what was happening, I just accepted it. In 1980 I became a member of Faith Temple Apostolic Church under the leadership of Bishop Jerry McCullough. While there I taught Sunday school, did volunteer work at the state hospital, received presidency of the mother's board, and was in charge of Monday night prayer service. In 1993 I was ordained a minister, I moved to Alachua, Florida in 1995. In 1995 I became a member of St. Luke AME Church under the leadership of Pastor Walter Lassiter. I worked in the ministry along with the late Rev. Alexander Holmes. I also assisted in 12:00 prayer service. From 1998 to 2003 I worked as part of the ministerial staff with Rev. Keeton, Rev. Denmark, Dr. Sconiers, Rev. McGriff and Rev. McCaslin. Presently, I am working under the leadership of my Pastor Rev. James Watkins Jr. I also have a jail ministry teaching, praying, encouraging and giving biblical counseling to young women. I have earned a master's degree in Ministerial Theology and two doctorates, one Evangelism and the other Christian Philosophy in theology.
