Who is Going to Heaven and What About Hell?
Have you ever wondered about the afterlife? Whether or not there is one and if there is, just what it might be like?My Christian journey began when I was 26 years old and I was full of questions.As I studied the Bible, the issue of the afterlife started to become very important to me.Who is going to heaven? Is it just for Christians? What about hell? Is it real? Is it forever? I needed to know.I travelled down a number of Christian paths, looking for answers and soon discovered that there were different points of view to these questions.I then made the decision that the Scriptures and the Scriptures alone would be the foundation of my beliefs. I also decided to work from the New International Version because I consider it to be the most reliable translation.I searched the Scriptures thoroughly and in the process I also made the commitment that I would be completely honest during this process and not try to ‘tweak’ them along any preconceived or preferred directions. If I didn’t like what I discovered, then so be it. God and I would work it out.I am delighted with my conclusions and would like to share them with you.I would like to shout them from the rooftops, but this book will need to suffice.

Beauty Is Truth, Truth Beauty
Inspired by the odes of John Keats, I would like to write poetry which touches the soul.My early poetry is about imagery and beauty. Then I moved onto a period of trying to create mood with the artist Paul Klee’s remark in mind: ‘Art is not about reproducing the visible. It renders visible.’This followed with some verses trying to describe depression.Finally, there are some abstract poems which try to convey what happens when we reach the end of language.

Chocolate Crackle Saturdays
The eighties were a totally rad time when denim was acceptable on both top and bottom. Hair gel wasn’t for neatness, but gravity defying style. Neon pink and blue were coupled together like vanilla ice cream and Ice Magic. The beige station wagon was the only vehicle for road trips and dingy motels were well rated. Eight-bit video games were new and thrilling, while movies were big and brave. McDonald's was part of the weekly diet and Pizza Hut reigned supreme. We loved it all, especially on Saturdays when chocolate crackles fuelled every Nintendo session and BMX adventure.Join JP Pelosi as he fires up the DeLorean to whiz us back to the nexus of contemporary pop culture - the 1980s. Madonna, Pac-Man, Knight Rider, Chicken McNuggets, the video store and the Sony Walkman. It's all here, brought back to life in this nostalgic memoir about childhood joys, family life and the thrill of a perfect Saturday afternoon riding skateboards and trading football cards.So, slip on your shutter shades, gang, pull up a Garfield-themed beanbag and let's relive the greatest decade ever!
