LIFE WITH GOD is Richard Fosters first major new work for nearly a decade & is of similar magnitude to his classics: PRAYER CELEBRATION OF DISCIPLINE & STREAMS OF LIVING WATER.

Why is that Christians try so hard to place the Bible at the centre of their lives but in reality get very little from it in terms of genuine life-transforming practice? Richard Foster believes that it is because we fail to grasp the overriding coherent message of the Bible
- that all of Scripture is unified around the theme of living a vibrant & dynamic life with God. Breaking up history into fifteen epochs that reveal the unfolding of Gods plan for seeking out a relationship with us Foster sees the Bible as the loving heart of God made visible & plain.

This is the story of one of the most successful football clubs in history under one of the greatest football managers of our time. But it is also a book about what it has meant to be a Manchester United supporter during the remarkable 25-year reign of Sir Alex Ferguson. The book begins in the winter of 1986
- when Sir Alex found himself in charge of a demoralised club facing relegation
- & describes the creation of his first great side including Schmeichel Bruce Pallister Keane Ince Giggs Hughes & Cantona. It goes on to introduce Fergie's Fledglings
- the generation of David Beckham Nicky Butt Paul Scholes Gary & Phil Neville
- who were thrown straight into Ferguson's side as teenagers won the double in 1996 & went on to seal the treble in Barcelona in 1999. It then describes how after Beckham left for Real Madrid in 2003 United were knocked off their perch first by Arsenal then by cash-rich Chelsea. Ferguson needed a response to Jose Mourinho's spectacular revolution.. . And in Rooney & Ronaldo playing alongside Rio Ferdinand Scholes Giggs Tevez & Vidic he found one. As much an homage to a great man as it is a passionate account of one fan's lifelong devotion to his team Life with Sir Alex is a the perfect read for football fans all over the world. ' Pacey humorous & intelligent. A great insight into the one-way relationship between a fan & the object of his obsession.' Jim White Daily Telegraph.
