Eric James Memories and Reflections
The House of my Friends, the self-portrait of a wise and much-loved pastor, is the nearest Eric James will get to an autobiography. He left school in Dagenham, Essex, at fourteen, when the Second World War broke out, and worked for seven years at a riverside wharf on the Thames where the Globe Theatre now stands. After ordination, he became chaplain of Trinity College, Cambridge, and thereby became associated with some of the most famous and influential clerics of his generation: Mervyn Stockwood, John Robinson (author of the bestseller Honest to God), Robert Runcie and Trevor Huddleston. James was made chaplain to H.M. the Queen in 1984 and was preacher to Gray's Inn from 1978-97, as well as Director of Christian Action from 1979-90 and one of the people who inspired Faith in the City. The roll call of people that Eric James writes about, always with wit and perception, is astounding. He has broadcast regularly to millions of listeners on the BBC's Thought for the Day programme, and his strong social conscience breathes through the pages of this book. Eric James is the author of a dozen other books including the highly praised biography of Bishop John A.T. Robinson.
Who Is This?
Mowbray's Lent Book 2002Eric James is extremely well known as an Anglican pastor, broadcaster and preacher. His talks on the Thought for the Day radio programme in the UK have a huge number of admirers.In this Lent book, Eric James takes as his theme three persistent questions in the New Testament: Who is This?; Who say men that I am?; Who say you that I am? As he follows Jesus through Holy Week in a series of meditations he demonstrates to his readers how these are questions we must face as directly today as did Jesus`s own followers during his lifetime.
Managing Humanitarian Relief 2nd Edition

It provides humanitarian relief managers with a single comprehensive reference for many of the management issues they are likely to encounter in the field.
In Season, Out of Season
This latest collection of sermons by Eric James is also the best, drawing as it does on a lifetime of experience, a deep personal faith, and a love of people, music, literature and the richness of life. It also has a valedictory quality, since during the period covered by the collection the charity Christian Action, of which Eric James had been director, closed down after fifty years, and he resigned from being Preacher to Gray's Inn, an office which he had held for nineteen years. Here too is a farewell to an era, with 'In memoriam' sermons on a number of distinguished figures who embodied that era, and constant references to a world which is passing away. However, that is only part of the story. In Season, Out of Season is dedicated to an ordinand preparing to preach to the next generation, and like Eric James's favourite collect, '0 God, who hast prepared for them that love thee such good things as pass man's understanding...', it is full of hope for the future.

Old Men Ought to Be Explorers
The Anglican clergyman, Canon Eric James was born in 1925. He was formerly Chaplain of Trinity College, Cambridge, Preacher to Gray's Inn, Director of Christian Action and Chaplain to HM the Queen. He is well-known as a preacher, broadcaster, especially on Radio 4's Thought for the Day, and is the author of many best-selling books. He lives in retirement in London. In 1972, as a result of a particularly sad situation, my good friend David Sheppard, then Bishop of Woolwich, suggested that 'I needed to get right away'. This is the journal of the six-month journey I made - to Nigeria, Uganda, Zambia, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, The Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Guinea, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Sri Lanka and home. T S Eliot's wonderful aphorism Old Men Ought to be Explorers first inspired me when I was fifteen. It has continued to inspire me for over sixty years - into my eighties.
