The Man Who Nearly Had It All
M stays in the shadows serving an unscrupulous dictator, biding his time. He's loyal but who isn't? A canny operator, he knows all the political tricks of the trade and more. Once he sees the way the wind is blowing, he pulls together a cabal of traitors who, as soon as the Boss is pronounced dead, launches a campaign of nationalist disruption and disinformation. Everyone who wants power needs an army preferably backed by a major power. Russia is willing. However, two of his henchmen rebel, dismayed by the military and its vicious onslaughts on innocent civilians. In return they are mercilessly hunted down, surviving bombardments, sieges, mass slaughtering and a hit man. An unlikely heroine turns out to be their saviour.
Partnering with Heaven
The author Geoff cuts through much of the dogma and religion that has clouded a clear understanding of the link between earth and heaven. He gives us some practical hands on ideas that reflect the true relationship that exists between God and man, the natural and spiritual. He is unafraid to answer some questions that many are fearful to even ask. He is able to write in a way that allows us to consider and formulate our own response to how we understand Church, the Gospel and how we see the Kingdom of God come. He has researched thoughtfully and carefully and draws from a number of other peoples’ writings. In Partnering with Heaven Geoff thinks and reasons deeply as well as drawing from his own practical experience of engaging with God and people. He presents some fresh thoughts that reflect the close union between heaven and earth which need careful consideration if we are going to truly see His Kingdom come on earth.
Engaging with Heaven
HEAVEN WANTS to engage directly with you. Are you actively engaging with Heaven and allowing Heaven to engage with you? Many are so busy with personal, family and church agendas that engaging directly with Heaven is altogether foreign. As a believer, you are Heaven’s conduit to earth. The Father’s kingdom is to be manifested through you, but unless you engage with Him, how are you to know what He wants of you. Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing. ENGAGING WITH HEAVEN will help you understand why you can. It will also outline how you can take the initiative to engage with Heaven, and how Heaven takes the initiative to engage with you. It will open up new possibilities for living a life pregnant with the kingdom, the power and the glory of Heaven.

Besides smugglers demanding extortionate amounts of money which the couple haven’t got, they encounter betrayal, abandonment, abuse, drowning, racially inspired mobs, adultery, deception, and baby snatching.

As the story unfolds, there is the inevitable role for Chuck, the American diplomat; Abd Alraheem the Palestinian traitor; Larry the CIA contact, Angra Mainyu, the Iranian 'diplomat' based in Lebanon and Sami, the teenage blogger from Gaza. A well connected, yet shadowy Israeli hard right wing group also begin to take matters into their own hands to even up the odds, as they see it. What will Hamas do? Who will win? Who will lose? Who will survive?
Heaven on Earth
Heaven on Earth is a layman’s guide to a deeper and more mystical relationship with the one whom some describe as the Ground of all Being. The book starts with a clear explanation of the personality and character of the one we call God; a personality of total self-giving love. It then goes on to explain how this can be seen in all of life around us if we were but to learn to recognise it. The author draws from his own practical experiences of encountering this loving entity within nature and daily life by using his own poetry and stories while quoting from sacred writings. He presents a God who is attractive, trustworthy and is wanting loving union with all people on earth. This book is both comforting and challenging and provides regular interludes for the reader to stop and learn to engage with this Divine Presence for themselves. If you read this book openly and honestly you will not be the same person when you finish. It is inspiring, will help to answer some of our deepest questions and can be life changing.
Sullivan’s Scoop
Sullivan, a newsroom hack, gets a tip off that gets his adrenalin racing. He can smell a story. He and his more steady colleague, Janice, begin investigating. It’s an astounding story, a scoop. Their editor, Porter, is not convinced until harrowing stories begin to emerge, and then even he has to admit something is seriously wrong. A young boy’s suicide takes the investigation into deeper water, but all is not going smoothly in the newsroom. Janice begins to outpace Sullivan, provoking his jealousy. When he sees his editor, taking Janice out on a date, it threatens not only the relationship, but the scoop. Sullivan is arrested and, in his attempt to clear his name, engages in phone hacking which uncovers even more fraudulent activity.
Pedigree and Panache
"Art auctions have long captured the public imagination. They regularly make news headlines and have become synonymous with glamour, money and social distinction. The marketing of auction houses and the works they sell has resulted in firms attaining authoritative positions and the ability both to influence and reflect collecting tastes. Pedigree and panache is the first comprehensive history of the art auction in Australia. In this fascinating work, Shireen Huda investigates the construction of the glamorous reputation of art auctions and art auction houses. Featuring absorbing case studies of key art auctions and major art auction houses in Australia (including Christies, Sothebys and Deutscher-Menzies) the work provides an overview of the origin and international development of art auctions. The development of the Australian marketplace is then explored, detailing colonial inception and continuing until Christies' withdrawal of its saleroom presence in 2006."--Provided by publisher.
