The life of a small boy living in a London suburb which sustained heavy damage from enemy bombing where over a hundred of its citizens were killed and only ten percent of its buildings survived the war unscathed. He recalls the terror of lying in a cupboard under the stairs as the Luftwaffe bombed his suburb and later devastation caused by V1 flying bombs and long range V2 rockets. His account encompasses a short period of evacuation to the safety of a country village and the relief experienced by a war torn populace when news of Hitler's death heralded the end of the Third Reich and the Second World War. The reminiscences also include details of his family's friendship with German prisoners of war. The main thread which weaves the narrative together lays in the many humorous episodes which punctuated his early years, particularly whilst in the British Army which at the time appeared to have changed only marginally since the carnage of the First World War.

This book traces the gender inequality in the church since the time of the early church fathers as well as the 1917 Code of Canon law, the Second Vatican Council and the 1983 Code of Canon law. The author explores the consistent pattern of women being unnamed and unnoticed. Yet there are incredible accounts in the Old and New Testament of women as teachers, prophets, judges, healers and deacons. Yet the passages proclaiming them are either excised from the lectionary or left out altogether. This author declares that it is now time to acknowledge and celebrate these forgotten women and to challenge one another and our church to also count them as equally effective leaders in the church. Men and women together are needed in order to live out the true message of equality and inclusivity which has always been the message of the Gospel.

Life is a journey - uphill and downhill, across mountains and plains, through paths of revelation and discovery, meaningfulness and adventure. Searching for God and finding the treasure recounts the journey of one woman's search for God as a Catholic Sister working for the Church. She wants to remind readers that the Catholic Church is not the 'perfect society' as the pre-Vatican council documents once described the church. The church, as the Vatican Council documents states, is the 'People of God.' She reveals to the reader that God is a God of surprise. God may be found in unexpected places and people. Where you expect to find God you may be surprised, and where you don't expect to find God, you may also be surprised. She reveals to the reader her experiences of 'being surprised.' But this author's primary message is that God is not a hidden God, and it is Jesus who tells us that where there is love there is God. God is here - in our loving, in our caring, in our generosity and more. God is always with us - even when we are conscious of our failure, our sin and when everything seems to be going wrong, God does not give up on us.

This book documents all the segments in the transition from dryland farming to irrigated farming with gated pipe. It starts with a dirt ditch with cuts made in the side of the ditch to wooden lathe nailed together to form a tunnel from the ditch to the field. It also documents the use of siphon tubes and irrigation ditches laid out on a gradient. Land leveling was introduced to the fields and to the irrigation ditches. Later, gated pipe replaced the siphon tubes.The book documents one family's transition from about 1938 to about 1967. The farm grew from 320 acres to more than one thousand acres with corn yields more than quadrupling in that period in some fields.
