Paul Gascoigne
This account of Gazza's life concentrates on his exploits in Italy. Starting with Italia '90 and his mercurial performances for England, it goes on to document the shattering of his knee cap and subsequent injury in a Newcastle nightclub; the tension and intrigue surrounding his on-off transfer to Lazio and the behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing; the ups and downs experienced while playing in Italy's Serie A; and finally what the future holds. This book exposes the dubious activities of his agent, Mel Stein, and those claiming to act in Gazza's best interests. It examines Gazza's relationship with fellow players, with first-hand profiles from close friend Glenn Roeder, ex-manager Terry Venables, former team-mate Gary Lineker and current Lazio coach, Dino Zoff.

The Merciful Humility of God
The 2019 Lent Book is a stirring meditation on God's humility. In one of the most moving stories of Christian literature, Augustine describes himself as sitting in turmoil, knowing that his current way of life had become untenable and was making him ill, because he could find no resting place for his heart and mind. As he sat sobbing in the garden, he heard the voice of children, as though playing a game in another part of the garden. The children's voices were crying, "Pick up and read it, pick up and read it." Looking around Augustine saw an open copy of scripture and he picked it up and read St Paul's Letter to the Romans offering a freedom from conflicting desires, through encounter with the living God. It is not only Augustine who encountered the merciful humility of God. But only God could penetrate Augustine's armor. As we follow this book through Lent and through the Biblical narrative, what begins to emerge is that God's merciful humility is the source of life.
This Is as Big as It Gets
This book is fiction and could fill several niches in the marketplace. Reluctant readers, those learning English as a second language, trivia buffs, and fans of Beatles spring to mind. This Is as Big as It Gets tells the story of two boys who meet and pair up with two girls. The four of them then banter as they try to put the world to rights while coping with stepparents, sexism, abused parents, sick parents, a plague of rats, death, suicide, and a terrorist attackbut not necessarily in that order. Interspersed with these dramas is an offbeat modern fairy tale told by one of the boys; it is so well received that he decides to write a book. His friends try to help him with ideas, and they get...
Critical Responses About the Black Family in Toni Morrison's God Help the Child
Critical Responses About the Black Family in Toni Morrison's God Help the Child explores the integral role of what Kobi Kambon has called the “conscious African family” in developing commercial success stories such as those of Morrison’s protagonist, Bride.
