MAN AND GOD

ISBN-13 : 979-8566100388

An easy to read no-nonsense book exploring the many questions we may have asked about God and our role as His creations. Questions like: Who is God? Jesus? The Holy Spirit? Does He really care for us and love us? If so, why do we suffer? Why are so many bad things happening in the world? Is God really in control? Does He answer prayers and perform miracles? Who are Angels and devils? What is sin? These and other topics are discussed in a relaxed simple style.

“Man And God” will make you think about life, about yourself, why God has created you, and your role in this life … and the next.

Suitable for anyone wishing to learn more about Christianity, or for those who may have perhaps wandered from the faith and wish to discover more about themselves in relation to God.

Don't Let The Devil Win!

DON’T LET THE DEVIL WIN

ISBN-13: 979-8628750476

The closer we come to God and the more we love Him, the more the devil fights to derail us and to tempt us away from our Faith. He tried this with Jesus several times, so we should not be much of a match for him. Prayers are always the answer to such onslaughts.

In this book about Father Ignatius we witness the devil tempting and tormenting him time and again; even resorting to physical and mental pain to the much loved priest. The battle between Father Ignatius and the devil is one we may have experienced in our own lives as we too became prey to his evil wiles.

DON’T LET THE DEVIL WIN takes you through a journey often reaching breaking point, and yet affirming that God is always by our side. Only a prayer away.

This book is full of advice on how to react when confronted with difficult seemingly insurmountable situations in life.

The Case of the Mystery Crime

THE CASE OF THE MYSTERY CRIME

ISBN: 9781688368934

A delightful whodunit mystery adventure story dotted with humour and seriousness as one clue leads to another in search for even more clues and cliff-hangers.

The reader is kept guessing as to what is happening and who made it happen and why.

It is a race between you, the reader, and the author as to who will reach the end of the book first and solve this series of mysteries amounting to a collection of crimes.

Will you solve The Case Of The Mystery Crime before the author does?

Give it a try … and enjoy! Click HERE.

Laugh N Pray

Laugh N Pray

This book is packed with funny stories, humourous tales, anecdotes, jokes, poems as well as more serious articles about Christianity and God.

Laugh N Pray can be read in chronological order, or you can just open any page at random and savour whatever offerings it contains.

TAKE CARE OF MY SHEEP

A priest’s life is not always mundane and pedestrian doing the same thing day in day out. His main responsibility is to take care of Christ’s sheep; the many people who throughout life are brought into his care as God’s servant and shepherd.

There are times when unexpected events turn Father Ignatius’ day upside down and send him to unexpected activities he did not plan; all for the sake of his parishioners and all those he gets to meet in his vocation as a priest.

This book is a collection of short stories in the life of a humble man trying his best to follow in his Master’s footsteps.

AS I QUOTE MYSELF

"AS I QUOTE MYSELF" is not a biography of a famous celebrity, or other well known personality telling you how they made it good from extreme poverty to being as successful as they are today.

Instead, these are the memoirs of someone you’ve probably never heard of, (unless you’re related to him), but yet with a story to tell.

Follow his misadventures and mishaps as he stumbles through life from one crazy story to another. Imagine him sitting on a rocking chair, a mug of hot chocolate in one hand and a biscuit in the other, relating what he can still remember in a haphazard and non-chronological order. Just like any other conversation really. One thought triggers another and each competing for a modicum of veracity and a pinch of authenticity.

A series of calamities and misfortunes with humourous outcomes which are sure to make you smile, if not laugh out loud. At least that’s what he hopes! CLICK HERE

MYSTERY AT STATUS MANOR

When a heavy storm and subsequent flooding cut off Status Manor from the rest of the world the hosts of a weekend gathering and their guests are trapped in what turns out to be a murder mystery situation like they’ve never experienced before.

This tale has all the ingredients you’d expect – believable characters including a beautiful vulnerable young woman, a hapless hero, danger at every corner, a missing backgammon disc, an unexpected attack, visit to the dead, a shower scene, a bloody knife, a body, a threatening note and nocturnal goings-on. Oh … and a good serving of humour too.

REFLECTIONS FOR THE SOUL

Does God exist? Who is Jesus? What is the Holy Spirit?

Can we really trust God? What happens when we lose all hope and our Faith falters?

Why do some people pray to Saints and the Virgin Mary? Is it idolatry? How does God view such prayers?

Why does God appear to be angry and vengeful in the Old Testament yet we are told He is a loving caring Father in the New Testament? Was it a change of strategy and tactics?

These and many other questions are explored and explained in easy to read short chapters in Reflections for the Soul.

You can read the reflections in chronological order or just open the book at any page and read what is there. Hopefully, it will help you in your prayers.

The author uses humour where appropriate to help deliver a memorable message. You may find a hidden gem in what he writes.

MUCH ADO ABOUT LAUGHTER

MUCH ADO ABOUT LAUGHTER is a book of short humourous stories and anecdotes, to make you smile or giggle, depending on what you feel like doing. It's really up to you.

This book is so funny that even the author has bought a copy.

This is what the critics have said about it:

A book that even Shakespeare could not have written.

A book that's talked about in all the good talking circles.

A book with as many pages as there are between its covers.

A book that did not have to be written - but it has!

A book with a beginning and an end.
