    This Old Stick

    THIS OLD STICK. This book tells the stories of the older people around us – stories which are at once familiar and extraordinary. A range of delightful and challenging fictionalised characters are beautifully presented with warm-hearted and absorbing honesty. This Old Stick is an enjoyable and entertaining read, and a tool to help heal the disconnection that exists in society between those considered healthy and functional, and those who are older and considered less so. We all need to be reminded of the gifts and precious treasure the elderly bring to our community. Presented with a foreword by poet and doctor Glenn Colquhoun, and afterword by medical researcher Professor Shaun Holt.

      Today In Paradise

      TODAY IN PARADISE is a fictional story which presents a view of Jesus and his cultural context which is raw, confronting and inspiring through themes of youthful rebellion, mental distress, the place of sabbath, sexual identity, fidelity, and, centrally, a revolutionary view of the role of women in ancient middle eastern society, framed in an ancient literary style of inverted parallelism. Fans of well-researched historical fiction with confronting characters and themes are the target audience of ‘Today in Paradise.’ This book will appeal to adult readers seeking to understand the socio-cultural and religious tensions and motivations of ancient Palestine. Those readers whose Christian, Jewish, and Secular worldviews are open to imaginative discovery will be stimulated by this book.
