Book Description
Can there be a parallel universe? A successful lawyer finds himself in prison and later robbing a bank in one while in another he experiences disturbing images of events occurring in the first. His melancholy and strange behavior causes him and his wife to separate. He thinks he is going insane yet physical and psychological examinations fail to show that.

Reluctant to divulge his troubling images to doctors, the lawyer seeks help from a Chinese marriage counselor to quell the images and thoughts disturbing him. Two foundlings who grew up feeling unwanted in an orphanage cross paths with the lawyer in one level and on another with the son while angry `patriots' plan a deadly attack on the government and its leaders but they and the son disrupt their plans. The lawyer and his wife reconcile in an unusual way while other couples also find their `true path' after making destructive choices based on their lower levels of emotions.

Book Description
Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

Book Description
Join Jonathan on his fortieth year as he takes you through the highs and lows, the funny and the sad and the shockingly rude bits of being 40 Single Gay. Jonathan finds himself unexpectedly single after being dumped by his boyfriend, Adam, just one week before turning 40. Made worse it was whilst they were having sex! Stuck in grief he feels anger, hurt and betrayal, and unable to move on. 40 Single Gay depicts Jonathan’s fortieth year as he reflects and unpicks his failed relationships to try and work out where it all went wrong whilst acknowledging the good times they had. He then shares the clichéd experiences of trying to improve his image as he re-enters (and over shares) the harsh and soul destroying world of dating and one nights stands. Over time, with therapy and self-reflection, and several holidays later, he soon realises that the path to happiness is not found in others, but within.
