Life and Death Is a Full Circle of Unknown
This story takes the reader on a journey of mysteries, exploring how the actions we take over a lifetime and the people whose paths we cross can shape not only our own lives but also those of future generations. It highlights God’s greatest gift – free will – and reminds us that, whether driven by anger, fear, hate, jealousy, or love, we must learn to not take others for granted. At some point, we all need to take responsibility when we cross the line, because when we don’t, and simply accept what will be, the world around us suffers for it.Being alone doesn’t mean you have to stay alone, but if you choose that path, where do you go from there? At the end of the day, every story needs an ending, but that doesn’t mean it can’t start anew. The world keeps turning, and while we may change with it or resist, we must face what life brings if we hope to find our place in it.We are all human, and humans are not perfect. None of us is without sin, but we all have the power to rise to the challenge and strive to be better.

The Extra Ordinary Women of France
This is an introduction to 27 fascinating women that have influenced the whole of French history.
France honours its famous people who have died by interring them in a mausoleum called the Panthéon in Paris. At the time of writing, there were 81 of these famous people interred there. After a visit, I suddenly realised that, of these 81 people, only 6 were women – Sophie Berthelot, Marie Curie, Genevieve de Gaulle Authonioz, Germaine Tillion, Josephine Baker and Simone Veil.
This set me off on a voyage of discovery through French history and I found 21 women of extraordinary influence, some of the present day, whom I thought merited their place in the mausoleum.
This book celebrates the lives of all 27 women – women who, in my opinion, were and are extraordinary and all of whom had a unique influence on French history or culture or the arts, sometimes all three.
Extra ordinary!

The Creative Word
We all have a name and give names to almost anything. But what’s in a name? Surely it is just a convenient but trivial label to refer to things.
Yet we need to think again. Suppose someone hears the name of a person they love. Does their name not convey something of that person’s reality? Perhaps it stirs affections or memories. Other names might evoke fear and loathing. Certainly, a name is embedded in our personal and social lives. But that also allows the name to influence how we understand ourselves and our world. A name may even be ‘constructed’ by us, which then determines how different peoples see things.
If this sounds far-fetched, consider the following.
God speaks creation into being, and also names. Then Adam names the animals. Perhaps our naming mirrors in a secondary way the creative speaking of God. Giving a name may then be part of our own constructive creativity.
None of that should surprise us. We see the flowering of the arts, literature, sciences and so much more. All this creativity achieves further order in a world which God has already ordered. It can be for God’s glory and human flourishing, or tragedy and disaster - good and evil.
If giving a name lies at the heart of our creativity, there’s more to a name than we might at first suppose.

Bats, Balls and Bigotry
In the remote outback settlement of Greenfield Plains, newly appointed schoolteacher Kevin Bell faces entrenched sexism and racism when he tries to register his pupils for a school cricket tournament. Determined to create a team, Kevin includes girls and local Aboriginal children, only to have his submission rejected by the education department’s outdated policies.
Undeterred, Kevin rallies the support of the entire district, sparking a movement that draws in the local Member of Parliament and garners attention from the national radio network. Together, the small community challenges systemic prejudice and wins the right for their team to compete.
Though their performance on the cricket field falls short of victory, the diverse group of children from Greenfield Plains earns admiration for their sportsmanship, resilience, and courage, leaving an indelible mark far beyond the game itself.
