Gerard Hughes's popularity lies in the fact that he always writes directly for the individual struggling with issues of faith & life & gets right to the heart of spiritual needs & concerns. His best-seller GOD OF SURPRISES published nearly 20 years ago has sold nearly a quarter of a million copies. GOD IN ALL THINGS is a follow up to that book written for a different world & a different spiritual climate. This is a guidebook for the inner journey. It is about recognising God in the ordinary, in the joy & sadness of things, about knowing that God cannot be separated from whatever we experience. It is written for people on the fringes of Christianity, or those who are disillusioned with church structures & dogmatic theology. Hughes has written this book because he is concerned at the split between religion & life, as if religion was something apart & detached from the rest of God's creation. Apart from being a brilliant spiritual guide this book is a call to a faith in terminal decline to enlarge its concept of God & break out of the straitjacket of pious religion. This book has 245 pages & is 13.2 x 1.9 x 19.8cm ...

An insight into British life 50 years ago. While much of the attention of this Jubilee year focuses on the Queen & the changes witnessed over the past half century, here is Britain at the dawn of what many heralded as the new Elizabethan age, an exploration in words & pictures of a nation still suffering the consequences of war but beginnning to move from austerity to affluence. The new monarch reigned over a diminishing empire. But it was also the year proposals for a new helidrome in central London were under discussion, British railways began mainline electrification, the first jet air service began operating. Rationing was still in force & television showed only one channel. But radio continued to entertain millions. The Olympics dominated the international sporting calender. It was a year of tragedy too, most notably the Harrow railway disaster, the Lynmouth floods & a thick & deadly London fog in December. Included here too is coverage of the death of King George VI, the accession & the first months in the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. The book also recalls education, arts & scientific advances, work, home life & leisure pursuits of the time. ...
