Echoes in a Void

Richard A. Stothert retired some 10 years ago having enjoyed a very long career in the development of computer programmes forecasting strength or weakness of both individuals and businesses known as Credit Information Bureaus. This involved many international projects across the world. Australia, Botswana, Germany, Canada and many more. On retirement, he reviewed his learning of human attitudes toward each other throughout history and these are reflective in both positive and negative reactions. In the world of today self-destruction continues unabated.

The Proof of God

Breaking with centuries of tradition that say that proving the existence of God is not possible, The Proof of God solves the long-vaunted issue concerning whether God exists. This book argues that ‘God is almost everywhere’ with the effect that proving his existence is very easy; indeed, for over two thousand years, the solution has been expressly set out in the Holy Bible. Drawing insight from the Scriptures of the Christian faith, this book argues that God’s existence is demonstrated in both the Judges and Prophets of the Old Testament and the Gospel of Christ in the New Testament. By exploring the nature of ‘proof’, this book breaks new ground in an age-old question. Proof, it is argued, is a matter of God imposing Himself on us; it is He who makes the important contributions to our daily lives. Thus, firstly, Man proves God because of his intricate design and image, and secondly, God proves God through the sending of his Son to the cross to die and resurrect for our sins. Whilst the Christian narrative is well-trodden ground, this book presents it in a light never seen before to definitively conclude arguments about God’s existence in his favour.

A Passion for Symphonies: Robert Simpson (1921-1997)

This is the first full-length study of the symphonies of Robert Simpson to be offered to the general public. Simpson is perhaps best known for his BBC work, including the Promenade Concerts and such innovatory radio programmes as The Innocent Ear; but critics have hailed him as one of the finest writers of symphonies of the twentieth century—one who additionally spent a lifetime examining and talking about works of this kind, being particularly interested in the oeuvres of Bruckner, Nielsen and Sibelius. As a result, his compositions provide invaluable case studies for the understanding of this most demanding of compositional forms, as well as being a string of eleven masterpieces spanning the last half of the twentieth century.
