There has been an explosion of interest in paddling right across the world - in 2020, British Canoeing reported a 40% rise in members, with 19,000 signing up in a 3-month period. Much of this interest has been in inflatable kayaks, with the author's own website (inflatablekayaksandpackrafts.com) averaging 1,000 visits a day. The comparatively low cost, the convenience of inflatable kayaks, and the fact that you can just get in and go, all add up to their appeal. And with thousands of miles of waterways in the UK, most are within reach of a river or canal where you can paddle your kayak and enjoy being in the fresh air, gently travelling through the natural world. You see the country from a different perspective and in an eco-friendly way. But, as with everything, a little bit of knowledge and technique makes the experience so much more enjoyable! That is where this book comes in. It provides a perfect introduction to the sport. It takes you through the different types of inflatable kayaks, so you buy the one that is right for you. It shows you the basic on-the-water skills that you will need, including getting in and out, how to paddle straight and turn. It outlines the gear you will need and talks about where to paddle as well as weather, safety, maintenance and repair of your equipment. It covers kayaking in rivers and canals, lakes and lochs, and coastal kayaking. All aspects are heavily illustrated with colour photographs making it easy to understand and clear to follow.

This book challenges both conservative religion and fundamentalist atheism (and will probably upset adherents of both), offering a secular spirituality that can be embraced by people of differing faith traditions and none. Drawing on his ministry as a Christian priest and psychotherapist, Chris Scott holds that religion is often bad for people, and rejects the belief that it can offer us objective truth about God. In Goodbye to God he advances a spirituality that makes humbler claims on us -- to be true to our experience and open to the mystery at the heart of life. This book stands in the tradition of a 'way of unknowing' which has a long pedigree in Christian and other world spiritualities. Brother Samuel SSF, Guardian Hilfield Friary I commend this highly readable and deeply insightful book to all church-going Christians of every tradition, and to all non-church-going people (lapsed, agnostic or atheist) who believe in the human potential for goodness and creativity. Chris Scott's straight-talking account of spirituality clearly comes from a place of profound personal experience and conviction. This important little book resonates with authenticity and deserves as wide a readership as possible. Rev Dr Paul Edmondson, Head of Research, The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, Spiritual Director and Instructor for the Coventry Diocese Goodbye to God is, I discovered, a book challenging its readers not to faith, nor to doubt, nor to disbelief, but to honesty and freedom. The spirituality it sets before us and dares us to pursue 'transcends religions, beliefs, dogmas, creeds, scientific proofs, scepticism and polarity'. Its pages are meant to bring together, off the street as it were, anyone and everyone without a spiritual home and yet alive with longing for a spiritual life... No matter where you find yourself in what Kierkegaard called 'the stages on life's way', there is something here in this book for you - challenge, charm, heart, humour, courage, understanding, insight, reassurance, companionship. It is a gift for which I thank the author. Robert Emmet Meagher, Professor of Humanities, Hampshire College, Amherst, Massachusetts Chris Scott has written this book out of his experience as a psychologist, psychotherapist, trainer and priest. He writes from the perspective of a practitioner, not an academic, with the aim of linking with people's everyday experience of trying to make sense out of life. The spirituality he speaks of will resonate with those of all faiths and none. His aim is a simple one; to break down the barriers of belief systems - both theistic and atheistic - in order that we might discover a language that will connect rather than divide humanity. As one reviewer has said "This is not a long book, but it is a deep book. You should read it, and then, read it again". ISBN: 978-1910667446 ISBN: 978-1910667200

Praise for Discovering Your Spiritual GiftsChris Scott is skilled and anointed to help you discover and develop your spiritual gifts. God has given her wisdom and insight in this particular area so that every believer discovers their potential in Christ. This book will help you discover your purpose in God as you discover the spiritual gifts on the inside of you.Pastor T.J. McBride, Senior Pastor, Tabernacle of Praise Church InternationalABOUT THE BOOKIt's been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember to help people answer the question "What on earth am I here for?" It is a frustrating place to be, not knowing who you are and what your purpose is while here on this earth. When you know what your gifts, several things begin to happen in your life. Knowing your spiritual gifts will allow you to clearly understand what God wants for your life. It is imperative to know that He has entrusted us with these gifts, therefore there has to be a reason, right? Why would God even bother with giving us these gifts? "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. Matthew 5:13 Knowing our gifts help us to be the salt and light of the earth.Utilizing our gifts is us being the salt and light to others. When we are not operating effectively in our spiritual gifts then we are like the later part of this scripture and not living with real purpose. When we operate in the gift that God has given to us freely, then we will be able to know how the Holy Spirit is operating in us. Encouraging yourself daily is a good practice to put in place, but it is necessary to effectively encourage those around us as well. Only then can we utilize the gifts God has entrusted to us. May this book bless you richly. ABOUT AUTHOR CHRIS SCOTTChris Scott is a Master Life Coach; she has trained and certified over 450 life coaches globally.
