Book Description
“I feel like a new man,” is an expression we often hear. The rejuvenation of the person concerned is often attributed to any one of a variety of physical factors, from feeling fitter by going more to the gym to losing weight by going less to the biscuit tin. When Sammy Graham became a new man, though, it was for a different reason, and caused some sensation. The tearaway who as a youth had literally painted the town red, changed. Incredible! The young rebel who was once the plague of the district police force submitting to authority. You must be joking! The ardent activist who had helped form the local branch of the UDA going to church every Sunday. Unbelievable! It sounded impossible but it was true. The man who was for years the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons had become a new man through faith in Christ. Sammy’s intriguing life story didn’t end there, either. That is really only where it began. This updated edition contains stories about a wedding in Russia, a dedication in America, the vision of the Band of Brothers, lives transformed and joy restored through the power of God, and Daniel, the first of a new generation in the Graham family.

Book Description
Paint Your Town Red tells the story of how one city in the north of England decided to level up without waiting for Whitehall. Across the world, there is a growing recognition that a new kind of economy is needed: more democratic, less exploitative, less destructive of society and the planet. Paint Your Town Red looks at how wealth can be generated and shared at a local level through the experience of one of the main advocates of the new Democratic Economy, Matthew Brown, the driving-force behind the world-recognized Preston Model. Using analysis, interviews and case studies to explain what Matthew and Preston City Council have done over the last decade in order to earn Preston the title of Most Improved City, the book shows how the model can be adapted to fit different local circumstances, as well as demonstrating how Preston itself adapted economic and democratic experiments in ‘community wealth-building’ from elsewhere in the US and Europe. Preston’s success shows that the ideas of community wealth-building work in practice and have the capacity to achieve a meaningful transfer of wealth and power back to local communities. A lot of recent coverage and references have tended to oversimplify the Preston Model, which is not just about ‘buying local’ but a comprehensive project, which envisions local and regional discussions and collaboration adding up to a wholesale transformation of our currently failing economic systems.
