This book is a real treasure.
A wonderful combination of poetry, art and wisdom. This is a book that you will buy, read and keep for ever.

Released
Poems by Robert Miller
Robert Miller found the greatest prize of all when he found himself in prison. His poems represent the emotions and gratitude of finding real freedom - a freedom that can never be taken away.
RELEASED is a collection of his writings, both in prison and when released.

Recycled
Poems by Ann Firth
Ann Firth expresses in her poetry how her life was completely recycled by an encounter with God in her later years. When she first allowed him to 'take over' her life in 1980, she began to see Him open a whole new life before her.
Through a prophetic word she began to write poetry in 2006 and was able to express, through them, how God brought her through some of the difficult times of her life.
This book is an opportunity for her to share those times with a wider audience and to encourage others to 'allow God to recycle them too'.

I Know a Young Woman Who Swallowed a Lie
Poems by Hazel Butler Illustrations by Robert Duncan
In this unique book, Hazel cracks the riddles of some of the weird and wonderful nursery rhymes and community songs that form an integral part of our English heritage. Then, with wit and humour, and retaining the same timeless rhyming and rhythm, she re-forms them to tell the stories and messages of the Bible - an integral part of our Christian heritage.
"Here is a vast world of original imagination which will inspire children's teachers and intrigue their parents. This is a treasure of sermonettes..." - David Pytches, One time Bishop in South America

My Art of Poetry
Poems and illustrations by Judy Edwards
Art and Poetry have been at the heart of Judy Edwards. This is expressed in this book by her love for nature, particularly from her home in the South West of England. Her paintings and photographs are an essential part of her expression. Similarly, her love for her husband, Pete, and her family form a part of her emotional foundation. Over and above all of that, her love for God and appreciation of God's love for her shines through.
As Judy has lately been battling ME she continues to express her heart to all who appreciate the core values of the Christian life. All who appreciate those values will find Judy's poems uplifting and encouraging.
