Book Description
Notes Of A Camp-Follower On The Western Front is a WWI correspondence by E. W. Hornung. Hornung was an English author and poet. Excerpt: "The Ark was such a busy canteen that all this is easier said than it was done. Every morning we were kept at it as continuously from eleven to one as ever we were from four-thirty to eight-thirty. Those were our business hours; and though it was never quite such fierce shopping in the forenoon, it was then that the leader would go off in quest of fresh supplies and I was apt to be left in charge. This happened my very first morning. Shall I ever forget the intimidating multitude of Army boots seen under the door before we opened! And there was another of the early days, when the Somersets stormed our parapet in full fighting paraphernalia, with only me to stand up to them. Not much chance of foregathering then; but never an hour, seldom a single transaction within the hour, but brought me from the other side some quaint remark, some adorable display of patience, courtesy, or homely fun."

Comments on the 2011 printed version of Hauntings & Healings:- “This book is totally un-putdownable – a wonderful read.” J.L. Somerset, UK “I love your book, very informative and friendly, which is probably why I felt drawn to it. I am very interested in this subject but have avoided buying direct literature on it up to now. Just wanted to read the right thing first, it’s a minefield out there.” E.C. Bristol, UK “I loved the book and its kind of come at the right time as Ive been really getting into meditation and healing with a little group of friends over the last 6 months. Its answered a lot of the questions I had recently. I did spend ages online trying to find ways to close down meditation sessions and didn't really find anything but the info in the book is really good. I like the book as it was so honest. Lots of books like that are almost bragging about the experiences or gifts people have but yours is very refreshing.” M.M. Newcastle-on-Tyne, UK “Helen Bevan's book draws on her interpretation of experiences over many decades. As a retired librarian of many years standing she writes well and it is easy to read. She benefits from a working partnership with her husband Keith who is also a healer and medium and I recommend it to anyone who finds the subject of interest.” This 5 star review is from Amazon.co.uk by Snowflake 12 Feb 2012 “I wanted to write and let you know Helen how much I enjoyed your writings. Well written and very interesting to read. I especially related to the happenings from Central Library to around Beric's birth time because I remembered you telling me about it as it happened... What an interesting life you have had.” H.C. Bristol, UK Helen Bevan has aimed her book at those who are interested in learning more of this through her wisdom and experience - not trying to convince hard-line sceptics but seeking to open minds, plant seeds and nurture them as they grow, helping people along their various spiritual paths.

Book Description
Twinkle didn't know which was worse--having her apartment building explode, getting fired from her perfect job, or being threatened by one of the most powerful men in Colorado--all within twenty-four hours. Her life flipped from the mundane to the extraordinary when she grudgingly became the sidekick to a homeless neighbor bent on rescuing Colorado from an evil political candidate. Now, all Twinkle wants is her life back. Yet returning to a normal life won't be so easy. She must avoid the vicious cannibalistic thugs who seem to be overpowering the city, get her crazy friend to a probably imaginary sister, pay back the man she left but maybe still loves, work with a man that she may be falling in love with, and cooperate with a woman she can't stand. But will she be able to endure her forced plunge into Boulder's hippie subculture and the trust fund artistes of Chatfield Reservoir?

Book Description
Good Press present to you the complete collection of hundreds of life stories, recorded interviews and incredible vivid testimonies of former slaves from the American southern states, including photos of the people being interviewed and their extraordinary narratives. After the end of Civil War in 1865, more than four million slaves were set free. There were several efforts to record the remembrances of the former slaves. The Federal Writers' Project was one such project by the United States federal government to support writers during the Great Depression by asking them to interview and record the myriad stories and experiences of slavery of former slaves. The resulting collection preserved hundreds of life stories from 17 U.S. states that would otherwise have been lost in din of modernity and America's eagerness to deliberately forget the blot on its recent past.

Book Description
Published sermons present a special problem, writes John Austin Baker in his introduction to The End of Man. "Sermons no one would think of printing have saved souls; sermons much admired by posterity may have achieved nothing . . .. What is rare indeed is that the text of a genuine sermon as actually delivered should satisfy the criteria of the literary form as well. To the tiny company of such preachers of genius Austin Farrer belongs." The sermons collected in this volume demonstrate Farrer's rare abilities as a writer and preacher. Originally delivered to members of the academic community at Keble College, Oxford, they speak intelligently on all phases of Christianity. Some of the fine points of doctrine are discussed, but so are the very practical aspects of everyday life-matters such as relationships with parents, the importance of a disciplined prayer life, the proper use of money, and how to deal with intellectual challenges to the faith.
