A New Heart and a New Spirit
For nearly seventy years Eric Stanway preached his faith in churches across the UK. His first sermon was delivered in the dark times of the Second World War, when he was just seventeen, and he continued to preach until well into his eighties. Eric's faith is at heart a Methodist one, his Christian principles deeply entwined with his commitment to social engagement. This was realised in his work as a teacher, culminating in his role as head teacher of a pioneering residential special school in Gloucestershire. In this book Eric's favourite sermons from across his preaching career are interspersed with memories of his life, revisiting some of the stories of his childhood and his early teaching experiences that he first explored in 'From Brickbats to Bouquets' (2007). Seen together, they illuminate the enriching power of a faith that has been lived out day by day.

The Victorian
In the city of Gardner, Massachusetts, stands an imposing old house. Built by chair-manufacturing magnate Sylvester K. Pierce in 1875, the home became the scene for a number of heinous tragedies. The mansion stands empty now -- except for the numerous ghosts that still walk its rooms and corridors. Featured on an episode of the SyFy Channel's "Ghost Hunters," the house has attracted the attention of paranormal investigators nationwide. Join Eric Stanway, author of "Madame Sherri" and "The Old Rindge House," as he takes you inside what could easily be the most haunted house in the Commonwealth.

Along the way, there are train disasters, explosions and drownings -- part and parcel of any old city.
