The noise of the cars & vans & motorbikes outside grew tinny.. . The wheel turned off all the cars & turned off all the lamps. It was turning off London.

The Unadulterated Cat is becoming an endangered species as more & more of us settle for those boring mass-produced cats the ad-men sell us
- the pussies that purr into their gold-plated food bowls on the telly. But the Campaign for Real Cats sets out to change all that by helping us to recognise a true unadulterated cat when we see one. For example: real cats have ears that look like they've been trimmed with pinking shears; real cats never wear flea collars.. .or appear on Christmas cards.. .or chase anything with a bell in it; real cats do eat quiche. & giblets. & butter. & anything else left on the table if they think they can get away with it. Real cats can hear a fridge door opening two rooms away.. .

Unapologetic" is a brief witty personal sharp-tongued defence of Christian belief taking on Dawkins " The God Delusion" & Christopher Hitchens " God is Not Great". But it isnt an argument that Christianity is true
- because how could anyone know that (or indeed its opposite)? Its an argument that Christianity is recognisable drawing on the deep & deeply ordinary vocabulary of human feeling satisfying those who believe in it by offering a ruthlessly realistic account of the bits of our lives advertising agencies prefer to ignore. Its a book for believers who are fed up with being patronised for non-believers curious about how faith can possibly work in the twenty-first century & for anyone who feels there is something indefinably wrong literalistic anti-imaginative & intolerant about the way the atheist case is now being made. Fresh provoking & unhampered by niceness this is the long-awaited riposte to the smug emissaries of New Atheism."
