On a Wing and a Prayer with Good Morning Sunday
This is a collection of prayers and quotes from BBC2's "Good Morning Sunday" programme. It includes contributions from such people as Desmond Tutu, Basil Hume and Princess Anne and offers a breadth of spiritual insights on many aspects of human life.
Why Am I Here?
A rabbi? What sort of job is that for a Jewish boy? Especially one who rejected all the instructions and obligations that are part of Jewish tradition presented to him as a child? 'Why Am I Here? (with the emphasis on here)' tells the story of how Pete Tobias wrestled with the contradictions of a three thousand year-old religious faith in a world that seemed to have lost its way. A liberal approach to his faith turned him into 'Rabbi Pete' and gave him the opportunity to broadcast the message of tolerance and compassion that he believes underpins any genuine religious view. It provides an attitude towards the world and our place in it that can offer hope and insight to those bewildered by some of the claims and demands of traditional religions, believers and unbelievers alike.

Hearts to Heaven and Tempers Raise
Like a favourite TV comedy series, Reg Frary returns with another collection of all-too believable stories about anarchy and revolt waiting to break out in the choirstalls. They may look angelic in their robes, and may (on rare occasions) even sound like angels, but it's a dirty game keeping one step ahead of the vicar's trendy ideas and the choir director's aspirations to dictatorship. It all necessitates frequent councils of war down at the Dog and Duck after practice. REG FRARY has sung in his local church choir in Richmond for over sixty years and has been writing comic stories based on his experiences for almost as long. Neither the choir nor his employer will allow him to retire and he works as a proof reader for a major law firm in the City of London
Robeson
Paul Robeson was a towering figure in American culture, conquering many disparate venues—from football and film to law to Shakespeare. An extraordinary athlete-scholar-actor-singer, Robeson also became a crusader for human rights. And though he was admired by many, his controversial support of the Soviet Union during the Cold War and the era of McCarthyism led to ostracism and his declining health. In Robeson: An American Ballad, Arnold H. Lubasch chronicles the remarkable life of this twentieth-century original. In this concise and readable account, Lubasch—a New York Times veteran for almost 40 years—reports on Robeson’s life story more accurately and clearly than any previous books. In addition to detailing the highs and lows of Robeson’s life and career, Lubasch offers several personal anecdotes about this American icon, and includes commentary on the 100th-anniversary celebration of Robeson’s birth. This engaging work will be of interest to virtually everyone, but especially to scholars and students of U.S. and African American history and culture.
