Thief Prisoner Soldier Priest - Paul Cowley - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Thief Prisoner Soldier Priest - Paul Cowley - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Imagine growing up in a chaotic world where your parents are abusive and disfunctional. Family life is supposed to offer safety to children but for Paul Cowley he was exposed early on to heavy drinking, explosive arguments and aggression from his father, who threw him out the house when he stood up to him in defence of his mother. This one act proved to be decisive in Paul''s life, leading him into homelessness and petty crime as he mixed with the wrong crowd. Aged seventeen he was already behind bars. But having tasted life at rock bottom, Paul was determined to make something of his future. He joined the army which ''made a man of him'', but ultimately he lacked any direction and purpose and continued to make damaging life decisions, leading to divorce and estrangement from his own son. Things were not looking good, until a chance invitation to church from an old army PT meant that Paul''s search for meaning resulted in an unexpected encounter with God that changed his life for ever.This remarkable and touching true-life account of one man''s journey from thief to prisoner, soldier and, eventually, priest, should inspire anyone who feels their life is out of control or that, but for the grace of God, could have been in the same situation. It is, by turns, a dramatic, traumatic and even comic story, yet one that stands as a testament to how God offers hope to all who have the courage to respond.

Don't Tell Mum I Work on the Rigs - Paul Carter - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Don't Tell Mum I Work on the Rigs - Paul Carter - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

A take-no-prisoners approach to life has seen Paul Carter heading to some of the world''s most remote, wild and dangerous places as a contractor in the oil business. Amazingly, he''s survived (so far) to tell these stories from the edge of civilization. He has been shot at, hijacked and held hostage; almost died of dysentery in Asia and toothache in Russia; watched a Texan lose his mind in the jungles of Asia; lost a lot of money backing a scorpion against a mouse in a fight to the death, and been served cocktails by an orangutan on an ocean freighter. And that''s just his day job. Taking postings in some of the world''s wildest and most remote regions, not to mention some of the roughest rigs on the planet, Paul has worked, got into trouble, and been given serious talkings to, in locations as far-flung as the North Sea, Middle East, Borneo and Tunisia, as exotic as Sumatra, Vietnam and Thailand, and as flat-out dangerous as Columbia, Nigeria and Russia, with some of the maddest, baddest and strangest people you could ever hope not to meet.

Phoebe - Paula Gooder - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Phoebe - Paula Gooder - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Sometime around 56 AD, the apostle Paul wrote to the church in Rome. His letter was arguably his theological masterpiece, and has continued to shape Christian faith ever since. He entrusted this letter to Phoebe, the deacon of the church at Cenchreae; in writing to the church that almost surely met in her home, Paul refers to her both as a deacon and as a helper or patron of many. But who was this remarkable woman? In this, her first novel, Biblical scholar and popular author and speaker Paula Gooder tells Phoebe''s story - who she was, the life she lived and her first-century faith - and in doing so opens up Paul''s theology, giving a sense of the cultural and historical pressures that shaped Paul''s thinking, and the faith of the early church. Written in the gripping style of Gerd Theissen''s The Shadow of the Galilean , and similarly rigorously researched, this is a novel for everyone and anyone who wants to engage more deeply and imaginatively with Paul''s theology - from one of the UK''s foremost New Testament scholars.

Social Psychology: A Complete Introduction: Teach Yourself - Dr. Paul Seager - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Written by Dr Paul Seager, a social psychology specialist who teaches at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, ''Social Psychology: A Complete Introduction'' is designed to give you everything you need to succeed, all in one place. It covers key areas that students are expected to be confident in, outlining the basics in clear jargon-free English, and then provides added-value features like summaries of key studies, lists of questions to test your understanding of the concepts covered, and a ''Food for thought'' section at the end of each chapter which challenges you to put the academic theories to practical use. The book uses a structure that mirrors many university courses on social psychology - starting off by explaining what social psychology is and how it is researched, before exploring a wide variety of the fascinating areas social psychologists have looked at in both classic and lesser-known studies. Areas covered include: the self; attributions; social cognition; interpersonal attraction; social influence; attitudes and persuasion; prosocial behaviour; aggression; groups; leadership; group decision making; intergroup behaviour; and prejudice. A final chapter looks at how social psychology can, and has been, applied in the real world to make a difference. ''Teach Yourself'' titles employ the ''Breakthrough method'', which is designed specifically to overcome problems that students face. - Problem: "I find it difficult to remember what I''ve read."; Solution: this book includes end-of-chapter summaries and questions to test your understanding. - Problem: "Most books mention important other sources, but I can never find them in time."; Solution: this book includes fully referenced quotes ready to use in your essay or exam, and each chapter lists further suggested readings for each topic. - Problem: "Lots of introductory books turn out to cover totally different topics than my course."; Solution: this book is written by a current university lecturer who understands what students are expected to know.

In the Black Country in the 1950s, ex-boxer Norman Alonso is a determined and humble Jamaican who has moved to Britain with his wife to secure a brighter future for themselves and their children. Blighted with unexpected illness and racism, Norman and his family are resilient in the face of such hostilities, but are all too aware that they will need more than just hope to survive.At the turn of the millennium, Jesse seeks a fresh start in London - escaping from a broken immediate family, a repressive religious community and the desolate, disempowered Black Country - but finds himself at a loss for a new centre of gravity, and turns to sex work to create new notions of love, fatherhood and spirituality. Rainbow Milk is a bold exploration of race, class, sexuality, freedom and religion across generations, time and cultures. Mendez is a fervent new writer with an original and urgent voice. ''Sensuous and thrillingly well written'', Observer ''When did you last read a novel about a young, black, gay, Jehovah Witness man from Wolverhampton who flees his community to make his way in London as a prostitute?

Don''t read this book if you like your fiction cosy and middle-of-the-road'' Bernardine Evaristo, winner of the 2019 Booker Prize for Girl, Woman, Other ''The kind of novel you never knew you were waiting for.

A remarkable debut'' Marlon James, Booker Prize winning author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf ''This debut cements Mendez as a stunning new voice in fiction'' Cosmopolitan

Scorched Earth - Paul Thomas Chamberlin - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Scorched Earth - Paul Thomas Chamberlin - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

A radical new history of history''s most brutal struggle for survival between imperial powers. In popular memory, World War II was an unalloyed victory for freedom over totalitarianism, and democratic order over the age empires. Scorched Earth dispatches the myth of World War II as a ''good'' war. Instead, it reveals the conflict as a massive battle beset by vicious racial atrocities, fought between rival empires across huge stretches of Asia and Europe. The war was sparked by German and Japanese invasions that threatened the old powers'' dominance, not by Allied opposition to fascism. The Allies achieved victory not through pluck and democratic idealism but through savage firebombing raids on civilian targets and the slaughter of millions of Soviet soldiers. The Soviet Union and the United States emerged as hyper-militarized new imperial powers, each laying claim to former Axis holdings across the globe before turning on one another and triggering a new forever war. Dramatically rendered and persuasively argued, Scorched Earth shows that World War II marked the culmination of centuries of colonial violence and ushered in a new era of imperial struggle.

The Human Tide - Paul Morland - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

''Superbly explained'' Washington Post ''Fascinating'' Sunday Times ''Engrossing'' Evening Standard Every phase since the advent of the industrial revolution - from the fate of the British Empire, to the global challenges from Germany, Japan and Russia, to America''s emergence as a sole superpower, to the Arab Spring, to the long-term decline of economic growth that started with Japan and has now spread to Europe, to China''s meteoric economy, to Brexit and the presidency of Donald Trump - can be explained better when we appreciate the meaning of demographic change across the world. The Human Tide is the first popular history book to redress the underestimated influence of population as a crucial factor in almost all of the major global shifts and events of the last two centuries - revealing how such events are connected by the invisible mutually catalysing forces of population.This highly original history offers a brilliant and simple unifying theory for our understanding the last two hundred years: the power of sheer numbers. An ambitious, original, magisterial history of modernity, it taps into prominent preoccupations of our day and will transform our perception of history for many years to come.

Proven in many fields and with a distinguished intellectual heritage, " The Solutions Focus " provides a simple and direct route to progress in your organisation. It focuses on: solutions - not problems; in between: the action is in the interaction; make use of what''s there; possibilities - past, present and future; and language. Every case is different.

A solutions-focused approach sidesteps the search for the causes of a problem and heads straight for the solution, showing you how to envisage your preferred future and quickly takes steps forward. The authors present a set of practical techniques, including specific forms of questioning that lead to immediate action and results. They show how to identify what is working in your organisation and amplify it to make useful changes; to focus on what is possible rather than what is intractable and how to be solution focused, not solution forced.
