Thomas John sees dead people. What happens when we die? Renowned psychic medium, Thomas John is able to answer that question with a fair degree of certainty. Through his communications with the dead, he has learned a number of life lessons that he shares in this book. John shares with us 15 fascinating stories of what happens when clients ask him to contact their dead friends and relatives. He assists a 30-something New Yorker who was unable to stop fantasizing about suicide until John conveys healing words from her dead fiancée. He encounters a grieving young woman in a New York drugstore and shares advice from her dead six year old son. And in one particularly haunting story, John solves a murder case that had baffled the police. In each story, we learn about life on the other side and lessons the deceased have for the living. Each chapter is a felicitous combination of good story telling and healing wisdom. The dead are eager to provide guidance to the living. They watch over us. But most importantly, each story reveals that both the dead and the living are capable of tremendous and profound forgiveness.

WINNER OF THE BETTY TRASK PRIZE 'A Scarlet Letter for our times' MARGARET ATWOOD 'An extraordinary and disquieting work of imagination, and as original as any novel I've read in recent memory' ROB DOYLE Duncan Peck has travelled alone to Dartmoor in search of his cousin. He has come from the city, where the fires are always burning. In his cousin's village, Peck finds a place with tea rooms and barley fields, a church and a schoolhouse. Out here, the people live an honest life - and if there's any trouble, they have a way to settle it. They sit in the shadow of a vast wall, inscribed with strange messages. Anyone can write on the wall, anonymously, about their neighbours, about any wrongdoing that might hurt the community. Then comes the reckoning. The stranger from the city causes a stir. He has not been there long before the village wakes up to the most unspeakable accusation; sentences daubed on the wall that will detonate the darkest of secrets. A troubling, uncanny book about fear and atonement, responsibility and justice, and the violence of writing in public spaces, The Last Good Man dares to ask: what hope can we place in words once extinction is in the air?

This unusual collection of poems, illustrated with monochrome watercolor paintings, takes its inspiration from the Old Testament book of Jonah, the familiar story of the stubborn prophet who did not want to preach to Nineveh. The poems make their incisive observations of contemporary Christianity and will be appreciated in group discussions as well as in private devotions. Some forty of the eighty included poems have appeared in several publications, ranging from Christian Century to the New York Times.
