Still Learning Still Preaching
In this new volume Nigel Watson presents seventeen sermons drawn from fifty-five years of preaching. The subjects touched upon include incarnation, atonement, resurrection, ministry and the relationship between Christian faith and other faiths.I am convinced that if our weekly preaching could achieve anything like the directness, the relevance and the lucidity of these sermons of Nigel Watson, people might be les inclined to dismiss preaching out of hand.From the foreword by the Rev. Professor Harry WardlawThis is Nigel Watsons' sixth publication with Seaview Press. Previous titles comprise:-Still preaching, still learning (1999)-Reading with Discernment (2000)-Ministry - does it have a future? (2002)-Who do you say that I am? (2003)- and Kerfuffle in Corinth (2005).
Robin Chichester-Clark
Elected MP for Londonderry in 1955 as the second-youngest member of the House, Robin Chichester-Clark was at the forefront of Northern Irish politics for almost 20 years during one of the most turbulent periods in its history. A son and grandson of Northern Irish MPs, he held leading positions in both government and opposition, although remaining outside the UK Government when Edward Heath came to power in 1970 because of his brother's position as Prime Minister of Northern Ireland. Heath later made Robin Minister of State for Employment. Standing down from politics in 1974, he followed a dynamic career in politics with over 30 years in active philanthropy, fundraising for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, medical research, the House of Illustration and the creative writing charity Arvon, through which he came to know such figures as Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney.

The Durham Difference
The Durham Difference spans the birth, infancy and maturity of the country's third oldest university, from its roots as a monastic institution and the award of its Royal Charter in 1837 to become one of the most highly regarded universities in the country with an outstanding record both in teaching and research in science and a great many other subjects.The author, Nigel Watson, a graduate of the University, has thoroughly researched original records and drawn on hitherto untapped reminiscences of staff and students from various generations, which bring the book brilliantly to life. In his foreword, the Chancellor and world-famous author, Dr Bill Bryson, says: ''It is my private conviction that you can tell that you are in a good university town from the moment of arrival, in much the way you can often sense the presence of sea before you actually see it .... And nowhere that I know of is that happy air of productive, brainy toil more winningly offset by architectural glory than in Durham. What other universities, after all, can claim a castle and cathedral at their very heart ...... ''
The Family Album: a Portrait of St George's College, Weybridge
This richly illustrated portrait tells the fascinating 140 year old story of St George's from when it was originally founded in Croydon in 1869 as the very first Josephite school outside Belgium. The origins of the School were bound up with the Catholic renaissance movement in England. Within a few years St George's had outgrown its original Croydon location and in 1884 moved to the spacious grounds of Woburn Park near Weybridge, which has been its home ever since.Laced with a mix of personal memories and stories The Family Album captures these many changing phases of St George's and brings the reader right up to date with what is today a very flourishing co-educational school, which continues to have a strong family ethos and is a truly spiritual oasis in a secular world.Written by Nigel Watson

The First Epistle to the Corinthians
"This commentary on 1 Corinthians is the fruit of many years of teaching and reflection on the appropriate interpretation of the New Testament. The more clearly we can see the situation which the apostle Paul was addressing in his occasional writings, the more clearly we will see the point of what he was trying to say. In spite of the gap that separates the world of the New Testament from our own, if we dig deep enough, we will find again and again a message that resonates with our own experience. This second edition of Nigel Watson's commentary on 1 Corinthians is completely revised and updated, taking into account current Pauline scholarship and applying it to life at the present time."--BOOK JACKET.
MGS: a History At 500
MGS: A History at 500 has now been published and is only available from the School by emailing 2015@mgs.org.Author: Nigel WatsonIn celebration of Manchester Grammar School's 500th birthday, we have commissioned a lavishly illustrated commemorative book, featuring beautiful new photography, recounting the School's remarkable journey from its foundation to the present day. The quincentenary affords an opportunity to reflect on past challenges and achievements - from Hugh Oldham's creation of the School in the time of Henry VII, through the 18th and 19th centuries when it acquired the reputation of England's leading day school, to the tribulations of the last century, when the School overcame the ravages of war, the threat of financial disaster and major changes to the education system. What emerges most strongly from this absorbing story is the School's unswerving commitment to its core values of academic excellence, democratic access and public service.
