Bøger af Paul Johnson

Siden det moderne gennembrud for hundrede og halvtreds år siden har såkaldt moderne livstolkninger bestræbt sig på at fortrænge kristendommen og det grundlag, som de moderne samfund hviler på. Uden at støde på bemærkelsesværdig modstand. Sekulære og ateistiske livstolkninger har domineret, og den kristne kultur er behændigt søgt forvandlet til harmløse ”fortællinger”, ligesom man har bestræbt sig på at forvise den historiske Jesus til myternes tågeland. Paul Johnsons bog er sådan set ude i et opgør med den moderne ”videnskabelige” tidsalder. Johnson fortæller om Jesus – den historiske person fra Nazareth i Galilæa, en undersåt i en fjern jødisk provins i det mægtige romerske imperium. Som er lige så historisk og dokumenteret som hans samtidige, den romerske kejser. Johnson skriver, at tilsynekomsten på jorden af en skikkelse, der både var Gud og menneske, er kristendommens kerne. På den baggrund giver han Jesus-skikkelsen kød og blod --- og meget mere. For at understrege kristendommens universelle karakter er bogen forsynet med 16 sider med billeder af hovedpersonen fra alverdens lande og traditioner. Bent Jensen har oversat bogen og forsynet den med et forord og med en personlig efterskrift, hvor han fortæller om sin indremissionske barndom i Kjellerup.

Paul Johnson delves into the previously unpublished diaries of a Second World War POW, exploring camp life and Lieutenant John Blomfield Dixon's passion for drama.

Diaries and letters from service personnel who were held captive throughout the Second World War survive in quite large numbers, but rarely are they so detailed as those of John Blomfield Dixon, whose home was in the Hertfordshire town of Ware. Having joined the Territorial Army in 1938, he soon found himself hurried through officer training and, with the outbreak of the Second World War, being commissioned as a subaltern, attached to the East Riding Yeomanry. Following his death in 2013, his family were bequeathed a series of scrapbooks, folders, maps, photographs and documents, along with a small pile of well-worn booklets, revealing his voracious appetite in describing his training, life and death during the retreat to Dunkirk, his humiliating capture by the enemy at the culmination of the Battle of Cassel and the long arduous journey through a series of 'Offizierslagers', which would, ultimately, lead him to Oflag VIIB, which was located in the Bavarian town of Eichstätt. Complimented by a series of annotated photographs, some of which have not been seen before, this book provides an insight to the long tedious days, miserable food shortages, his thoughts for home, the woman he desperately loved, his hatred for both captors and captives, the killing of his comrades both on and off the battlefield, the tireless efforts and disasters of escape, and his passion for the theatrical life, which was borne out on dusty prison camp stages, all of which provide a picture of his experiences and emotions. His views and opinions on the wild and inaccurate rumours, as well as propaganda relayed through both the German and Allied press, paint an oft distorted picture of the war's progression at that time. The Normandy landings in June 1944 brought a sudden realisation that freedom may soon become a reality. However, the frustration and anxiety of anticipated release culminate in a terrible disaster at the very moment liberty appears upon the horizon. This was on 14 April 1945, when the prisoners were machine-gunned by U.S. aircraft as they moved to Moosburg. Fifteen were killed and a further forty-one were wounded. Liberation too brings its own frustrations, borne out in the final diary entries and supplemented by a post-war summary of his long journey home. Combined with a narrative lifted from both official records of the period, and the recollections of men who served or were imprisoned with him, the carefully selected entries not only provide one of the most detailed pictures of life at Oflag VIIB, but also serve to memorialise the service of John Blomfield Dixon and those with whom he shared his incarceration.

My name is Paul Johnson and I was born in 1950 with cerebral palsy. I am writing my autobiography to share my journey with other people. I now live in a residential home in Olympia, Washington. I am writing this to explain my physical and emotional journey through life. I want people to have a vision of what it was like for a person to grow up with a developmental disability in the 1950's. In this book, I write about growing up and being a pioneer, clearing the road to open doors for others with developmental disabilities. I have advocated and participated in government legislation, such as public law 94-142, the right to an equal education for children with developmental disabilities act, and architectural barrier laws. I achieved this with the inspiration of a group in Oregon called People First, a self-advocacy group of people with developmental disabilities. I helped start a People First group of Olympia, Washington; later this inspired other chapters to begin in the Northwest. I worked on subcommittees to get people out of institutions and helped introduce and educate local government on how important it is and helped introduce and educate local government on how important it is for people with developmental disabilities to be integrated into their communities. Today, some people with developmental disabilities are living in the community of their choice in small group homes or low-income apartments with the help of the U.S. Department of Housing Urban Development (HUD). I also participated in improving transportation for people with developmental disabilities that enables them to be more independent, which encourages them to get out into their communities, and that opens up employment opportunities. With the help of supported employment programs, people with disabilities are more likely to find a place in their community workplaces. There are more varied and interesting employment opportunities today, different and more rewarding than working behind closed doors in sheltered workshops.
