In 2011 Andrew Davies, a dental surgeon, had a brain stem stroke when he was just thirty-three years old. This left him with just a small flicker of movement in his right thumb and only limited speech. Physically there has been very little healing in the years since his stroke but in this book he reveals the healing that has taken place. He says he now has a life worth living but also one he enjoys.In Healing or Hurting, Andrew acknowledges that God can and does heal supernaturally but focuses on the ways in which God often sustains his children when he doesn''t remove the trial. His desire is that this book helps people to understand the potential harm the church can inadvertently cause to people who are suffering by only teaching about God''s desire to heal and neglecting the wish that He may want to provide and sustain. Andrew goes further and suggests lessons Christians could learn from the Apostle Paul''s prayer regarding his thorn in the flesh and details some ethical principles from his medical background by proposing how these could be adopted when praying for the sick.

This delightful stage adaptation of Austen''s most popular novel was written by Andrew Davies, author of the iconic 1995 BBC TV adaptation. In Georgian England, when it was customary for only male heirs to inherit an estate, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet live in some comfort, but as they have five daughters and no son, it is imperative that the girls marry well. Hopes rise when Mr. Bingley, a rich bachelor, rents the nearby Netherfield estate. He attends the local ball with his sister and his friend Mr. Darcy. He is immediately attracted to Jane, the eldest Bennet sister, and she to him. But Mr. Darcy seems haughty and aloof, and declines to dance with Elizabeth, (our heroine) the spirited second Bennet daughter. She dislikes him on sight and fails to notice that he gradually becomes more and more attracted by her wit and intelligence. Mr. Collins, a distant cousin who stands to inherit the Bennet estate, comes to visit, with a view to marrying one of the Bennet sisters. He proposes to Elizabeth, who rejects him. Jane and Mr. Bingley become fond of each other and Elizabeth''s secret adoration for Mr. Darcy becomes apparent. The love between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy blossoms, despite his prejudice of her low social connections.

The WIWAL series - as seen on TV. Photos from a time when it was fun to play with a tangerine box and not an X-box. Includes a section on ‘fun at the seaside’ sampling the very best that Clacton, Skegness and Filey had to offer. Reet grand and gradely from cover to cover. Ah, the past. A time when children could roll in the street, when boys were allowed to play cowboys and indians, and when school dinners were made from some of the hardest substances known to man. When I Were a School Lad... straps on its rose-tinted (National Health) spectacles once more and ventures back into the simpler childhoods of the 40s, 50s and 60s, a time when a “4X4” was a piece of wood, when dinner ladies all looked like Les Dawson and when school teachers were feared. Building on the success of the original book, WIWASL mines the rich vein of nostalgia created by archive photos of children at school. This time round, there are less images of children in peril and more of them indulging in the exotic pastimes of the day, such as stamp collecting, scrumping and mending their pedal car.
