Description: A Time to Heal is an updated edition of a famously inspiring story of one woman’s triumph over cancer through an unorthodox therapy. Beata Bishop was devastated when a mole on her leg was diagnosed as malignant melanoma, one of the fastest-spreading types of cancer. She underwent painful, disfiguring surgery and was told that her health problems were over. But within a year the cancer had spread and she was faced with two stark choices: undergo further extensive surgery with an uncertain outcome or do nothing and face death at any time between six weeks and six months. Instead she chose an “alternative” method, developed by the late Dr. Max Gerson. His
rigorous nutritional therapy appealed to her because it claimed to detoxify the body and restore the damaged immune system to the stage when it could destroy the cancer. It was hard work following the Gerson regime, but today, nearly twenty years later, she is fit and well and enjoying life to the full. A Time to Heal, here with a new Introduction and Postscript, is a brilliantly observed personal record of courage and determination. It also presents us with a startlingly effective method for treating cancers and other chronic degenerative diseases – a method that is, at last, receiving the world-wide recognition it deserves.

Description: The Most Ungrateful Englishman will surprise even those readers who think they have a decent knowledge of the history of England. Hardly anyone who picks up this book will do so with an understanding of the real significance of14th-Century churchman Adam Easton, its subject. Unlike the infinitely better known Thomas Wolsey, Adam was a cardinal who really did change history. Surprisingly, this important figure, who was born a peasant’s son in Norfolk and went on to become the highest ranking figure in the Catholic Church aside from the Pope, has never before had a biographer. Here, his tale is told with the sort of detail that will appeal to students and teachers of mediaeval history but also with a focus on ‘the story of the man and his times’ that will fascinate the armchair historian who does not like his learning too dry. Adam’s story is played out across one of the most traumatic eras of European history. We encounter the Black Death, the Hundred Years War, The Great Schism, The Peasant s ’Revolt and the Lancastrian Revolution, each in turn influencing the narrative as Adam goes from rags to riches, then back to rags and then to riches once more. Meticulously researched over a five-year period, the book uses source material from the British Library, The Parker Library at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge University Library, The Vatican Secret Archive, Vatican Library, Lambeth Palace Arc hive, and the Cathedral Libraries of Hereford, Worcester, Durham and Westminster, as well as the extensive travels of the author. The appendices contain transcriptions of important source material not previously published. An exasperated King Richard II, in dispute with the Church of Rome over the power of State versus Church, referred to Adam Easton as “the most ungrateful Englishman”. Anyone interested in this dynamic period of English history has cause to be grateful for author Andrew Lee’s remarkable achievement in bringing to brilliant life a key figure from our past. |

Description: Many people from different backgrounds, cultures and faith traditions are beginning to review their concepts of consciousness and spirituality. All agree that more sense and meaning has to be made of a complex, interconnecting world society that is
changing at an unprecedented rate. Ways Through The Wall is a book of short essays that demonstrates how some concepts of transpersonal psychology are contributing to this. The twenty-nine contributors are members of the international transpersonal community. They range from distinguished academics, writers, members of religious faiths and leaders of spiritual traditions in their own countries to professional practitioners in hospitals, schools and other organisations. They are linked by their common desire to see the development of an interconnecting world and their practical experience of working to make things happen. This unique book is an invaluable source of hope and ideas to those who seek a way through the wall that prevents our deepest thoughts and spiritual longings from reaching their true expression in a modern, unheeding, world. It will appeal to professionals interested in a wide variety of approaches as much as to the general reader searching for guidance and illumination on their spiritual path.

Description: Told by an ex-Mirror deputy editor, this is one of the greatest newspaper stories ever told…the story of a great newspaper itself. For a century, the Daily Mirror has been part of the fabric of Britain, from its origins as a journal for gentlewomen to the born-again tabloid that became the biggest seller of all time under the mercurial Hugh Cudlipp. There were times when the Mirror made its own headlines - accused of sedition and nearly shut down in wartime, mugged and left for dead by conman Robert Maxwell, sued and rocked by scandal again and again. Warts and all, this is the inside story of all those stories, and the people who made them happen, fuelled by a heady cocktail of genius, courage, humour and, more often than not, alcohol. It is a story of the Great and the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, the heroes and villains who played their part in the Mirror's history and are forever part of its folklore, from legends of the newspaper world such as Cudlipp, Cecil King, Bill Connor, Marje Proops and Keith Waterhouse to the headline-makers of today such as Alistair Campbell and Anne Robinson. | |
