Sons of Thunder
Another honest, plain-speaking and contemporary look at the Bible from Dave Hopwood In this poignant and exciting re-telling of the gospel, Dave Hopwood imagines what it would be like if Jesus lived in Cornwall in 2008, hanging around with ordinary guys - guys that don't always get along. How would they react to him, and to each other, when the supernatural starts to take place in front of their eyes? It's going to change them, that's for sure - It's going to change the world. 'Dave Hopwood is a passionate man and brilliant communicator.' Revd Chris Edmondson, Lee Abbey 'If you only read one book this summer, make it this one.' Direction

The Arabian Peninsula
Although the Arabian Peninsula is the heartland of Islam and of the Arab world, for decades it did not receive the attention it deserves from scholars and writers. The School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, and the Middle East Centre of St Antony’s College, Oxford, jointly organized a series of seminars, culminating in a conference at which the papers in this volume (first published in 1972) were discussed. Together they constitute an authoritative statement of our present knowledge of several areas of the Peninsula, with particular emphasis on the Gulf States. Three chapters trace the history of Oman from pre-Islamic times to the recent past, and in so doing emphasize the theme of continuing conflict between sultan and imam. Other chapters examine the Gulf and the Peninsula from the standpoint of inter-Arab and of international relations. The third section of the book is devoted to a discussion of the increasing rate of social change in the area, and the final section deals with problems of oil and state and of economic development.

Syria 1945-1986 (RLE Syria)
Syria has often lacked sympathetic observers. This book tries to interpret the country and its people in terms of how they see their own history and of what they are trying to achieve. More than a political or diplomatic history, it discusses the economy, society, education and culture to help the reader understand and explain modern Syria. A description of the country deals with the physical and other factors which have influenced Syria’s development. An historical survey concentrates mainly on the period after the Second World War and explains why a knowledge of Syrian history is important and why Syrians look at their history in the way they do. The achievements, problems and failures o...
Raging Grace
In 2011 Dave Hopwood began spilling his thoughts and shaking the world. Not many people noticed. But now's the chance to catch up. An indeterminate number of his writings have been crowbarred into this book. Short, sharp and sometimes skewed, these ramblings may also make you smile and feel a little more hopeful. You may never be quite the same again. On the other hand you might. But without reading this you'll never know...
