Open Secrets
The poems in this delightful book, Open Secrets, focus on how we can discover spiritual truth from nature, the world around us and the creative arts. The first section, Nature and Grace, draws together insights from the natural world alongside poems inspired by gospel encounters where people find light and love through Jesus. The Deer’s Cry, following St Patrick’s Prayer, has poems that cry out for the protection of the natural environment, as well as for people who suffer in areas of conflict. The third section, The Artist, looks at how works of art can reflect the beauty and goodness of God our creator. The poetry is followed by a short essay that explores the meaning of open secrets in relation to the gospel, nature, and poetry. The whole book points to the importance of attuning our hearts to hearing the voice of God in Christ, full of grace and compassion for all people and for all of his creation, and ever-present by his Spirit in the world.
No Coincidence
Enough is enough was what Anna told herself when she ‘escaped’ from a strict, cult-like religious upbringing. Yet tragedy lurked ready to shatter her dreams and happiness after only seventeen months of marriage. Candidly, the author describes situations that challenged deeply rooted beliefs, and how unexpected encounters with God changed her perception. In a down-to-earth way she also vividly relates experiences of contending with human and supernatural forces and ‘deliverance from evil’, and how release from a tangled web of ‘bottled-up’ emotional baggage, and several divine physical healings transformed her life. With renewed focus Anna found fulfilment and joy she never dreamed possible, in locations she never imagined.

Postcards from Rome
Postcards from Rome explores Paul's life as seen through his own eyes and proposes an engaging theory about his apparently aborted trip to Spain, mentioned in Rom 15:24. Drawing from Paul's canonical letters--authentic and forged--as well as Luke's Acts of the Apostles, and the Acts of Paul and the Acts of Thecla, two noncanonical writings dating from the end of the first century CE, this book imagines a new scenario for a hypothetical twenty-first-century audience, not a real first-century one, attempting to describe the trip to Spain that never was.

The White Spaces of Kenyan Settler Writing
The White Spaces of Kenyan Settler Writing provides an overview of Kenyan literature by white writers in the half-century before Independence in 1964. Such literature has been over-shadowed by that of black writers to the point of critical ostracism. It deserves attention for its own sake, as the expression of a community that hoped for permanence but suffered both disappointment and dispossession. It deserves attention for its articulation of an increasingly desperate colonial and Imperial situation at a time when both were being attacked and abandoned in Africa, as in other colonies elsewhere, and when a counter-discourse was being constructed by writers in Britain as well as in Africa. Ke...
