Visions of the Righteousness of God
It starts with the concept of who created god and covers the structure of the human spirit, the soul and the body.
It then takes a renewed look at the Gospel of grace and offers the reader a fascinating insight into the mystery of what, exactly, the concept of grace is all about,.
It also examines the visible and the invisible world and the fall of Lucifer and of man.
It also covers a wide range of other theological subjects and topics including the Judgement, the Second Coming of Christ, the demise of the world (as we know it) the Garden of Eden and much more besides.
A Theologian told the reviewer: "It is obvious that the author has put an awful lot of work and thought into the studies that underlie this book."
This book will make a fine Christmas present for students of theology or those who want to know things about religious matters.
It is available in paperback at £9.99 and can be bought through the That's Books and Entertainment bookshop at this address:- https://goo.gl/flkjvu.

A Healing of Gardens
It's the first part of a two part series and it concentrates on the life of Jackie, who is a young boy who leads a sad life.
He is part English, part German and part Gypsy. But due largely to his appearance (which horrifies and disturbs people) he is cruelly and heartlessly rejected by his own family and rendered utterly friendless.
On his 15th birthday Jackie is taken in bu his paternal grandmother.
Although a "high born" Romany Gypsy, she, too, knows isolation, as she is, in effect, isolated.
She teaches him the secrets of operating her various business enterprises. Unfortunately she also inculcates within him her own warped character traits, her vicious, cold nature, her cruelty and her detestation of any sign of weakness.
This has a deleterious impact on young Jackie as it has a negative impact on his sanity and on the people who try to get close to him.
It's also the story of some beautiful people who are involved within his life.
Especially, there is Suzanne who is a young and attractive artist who he meets later on in his life.
She realises that Jackie is a tormented and troubled soul and she sees within him what ha cannot see within himself.
Their relationship is a troubled one, beset by horrors as cruelty upon cruelty threatens the sanity of both of them.
This is a hardback novel published by Matador and the adult themes that it covers are both disturbing and electrifying.
It costs £10.99 and is available at the That's Books and Entertainment Bookshop https://goo.gl/KUU3gK.

Tony Collins: Football Master Spy
The book, written by Quentin Cope and Sarita Collins, tells the story of his life, his childhood, his time in the army during World War 2. particular his time serving in Italy.
It also covers his time as a professional footballer, with 47 appearances with Fourth Division Rochdale, before he was promoted to the manager of Rochdale, a position he held for seven years from 1960 until 1967.
His career as a footballer and manager was far from easy. He suffered racial prejudice and scorn, yet he was able to time and time again prove the doubters to be in error as he garnered well-deserved sobriquets such as "The Teacher" and "Football's Master Spy."
He discovered and nurtured some football players who would become some of the greatest names in this modern history of football.
He had battles with the likes of Clough and Ferguson during his 44 days as the manager of Leeds United.
However he had close relationships with the real men of English football management, such as Don Revie and Ron "Big Ron" Atkinson.
And the remarkable thing? This book is the first time the story of Tony Collins has been told!
And as Tony is 90 year old, it's a very welcome publication!
It's published by the Book Guild in paperback at £9.99.
The book is written by Tony's daughter Sarita,with the assistance of Quentin Cope.
There is also a fulsome and heartfelt introduction by "Big Ron" Atkinson, himself.
This book will make an ideal Christmas present for the footie fan in your life. You can purchase it via the That's Books and Entertainment bookshop which you can access here:- https://goo.gl/nYxiYk.
