True Storey
True Storey is the compelling autobiography of notorious 1970s football legend Peter Storey, dubbed 'the bastard's bastard', who gained a reputation for ultra-violence on the pitch and had a capacity to find even greater trouble off it - a fact borne out by a string of criminal convictions and several jail sentences. A key member, as their midfield enforcer, of the resilient Arsenal team that won the European Fairs Cup followed by the cherished Double in 1970-71, Storey was a confirmed ladies' man who loved a drink. In the mid-'70s, Storey's pub, the Jolly Farmers in Islington, became a magnet for north London villains and he rubbed shoulders with Great Train Robber Tommy Wisbey and Howard '...
Protest at Midnight
“Let me say to President Botha: apartheid is doomed! It has been condemned in the councils of God, rejected by every nation on the planet and is no longer believed in by the people who gave it birth. Apartheid is the god that has failed . . . let not one more sacred life be offered on its blood-stained altar.” This is what Bishop Peter Storey preached in 1986 in the darkest hours of black suffering in a South Africa torn apart by racial oppression. Join him as a youthful chaplain to Nelson Mandela on Robben Island, defying armed police entering his pulpit, heading the SA Council of Churches with Bishop Desmond Tutu, leading 25,000 marchers against Johannesburg’s secret police headquarters, and confronting Winnie Mandela’s wrongs. Storey’s ministry was shaped by one simple question: “What does it mean to obey Jesus in apartheid South Africa?” This book tells of his answer and challenges the silence of American churches in the face of nationalism, systemic racism, and right-wing populism in the USA.
Human Nature
A bold and original collection of short stories from the freshest new voice in fiction, Human Nature brings the reader from the little triumphs of a morning on a wildland fire crew to a paradise atop the towers of Manhattan thousands of years in the future.
Charters and Caldicott
Charters and Caldicott - As War Begins First appearing on British cinema screens in 1938, the characters of Charters and Caldicott are amongst film history's most famous and favourite comedy duo. From their first appearance in Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes, Charters and Caldicott hit a resonance with cinema goers with their charming notes of sarcasm and dry humour. This initial popularity resulted in the two characters being reunited in several films throughout the 1940's and early 1950's. Full of British idiosyncrasies from a bygone era, the two cricket lovers are sticklers for upholding proper standards of dress, decorum and behaviour; no matter where they are or what predicament they find...

Time I Took a Lap
Written during an unplanned lap around the country, this collection of songs and sonnets explores the variety and commonalities of modern America. Poems in this collection were mostly written on various folded pieces of paper kept in the author's back pocket, in between seeing old friends and new cities.
Listening at Golgotha
Hese Meditations on the Seven Last Words of Christ, accompanied by reflection questions and prayer, will deepen Holy Week's meaning for individuals and congregations. Each of Jesus' last words casts light on his saving work and confronts us with our need to receive and act upon the gift offered by his death. Charcoal illustrations by Jan L. Richardson enhance each day's meditation. The meditations were born out of Peter Storey's almost four decades of ministry in South Africa. During that time, the church had to learn a Cross-shaped ministry under the shadow of apartheid. Book jacket.
With God in the Crucible
Often the church is accused of being so embedded in the culture that effective prophecy leveled at the culture is impossible. But this book illustrates that there was a time and a place where the church community was faithful to its mission as the body of Christ, as church leaders led, people lifted high the cross, and they marched into the uncertainty that still prevails. Here is a time and place where the call to risky discipleship was answered not with whimpers, whines, and excuses, but with the power of faithful Christians living out their call. This book illustrates what it can mean to faithfully answer the call to discipleship and God's service. Many people wonder if they would be able...
To Kill the River-Beast
To Kill the River-Beast is the most comprehensive collection of Peter Storey's work to date. Comprised of stories and poems written from 2010-2015, River-Beast exhibits Storey's waxing command of his story-telling ability, the beginning and development of his rebellion against established literary thought, and the experiments with form and content that led to his creation of the Poesta as a new literary medium. Including popular stories such as Errand of Mercy and The First Earthling on Mars, as well as his wild, desperate poetry, such as Behold the Switchblade!, River-Beast combines old favorites with never-before-seen work. Written while living and working in Wyoming, the South Pole, Brooklyn, Washington D.C., Boston, Albuquerque, and Chicago, these stories tell of love and madness, quiet hope and savage rage, of suburbs, spacemen, and the horror and the mercy latent in the hearts of all.
