An exploration of the meaning of faith and the place of religion in the world of the 21st Century by Peter H. Evans Is the rise of fundamentalisms, both religious and secular, an indicator of the future for faith and religion in the 21st century, or is it the last gasp of a dying culture leaving no future place for religious belief and the faith and practice it engenders? Writing out of thirty five years serving as a professional minister of religion and a lifetime as an active participant in the life of the Christian church, Peter Evans would say no to both propositions. "No Longer Children" is an exploration of the reality that many of the terms and concepts of traditional religion no longer resonate with men and women in our modern scientific and materialist culture. Terms like "Heaven" and "Hell" have long since lost their immediate power and the more recent expansion of psychology and neuroscience are forcing a similar revision of terms like "Soul" and "Spirit". Thus rendering notions of a purely private and personal salvation overly self interested and even unnecessary. These terms and concepts no longer make contact with either the hopes or the fears we share. While religion has brought, and continues to bring, many social and community benefits, it has also given rise to many gross abuses of power. Any return to fundamentalism and orthodoxy only increases the latter. Peter Evans argues that the true role for religion is that of reminding us of what may be of value: as a signpost rather than a destination. It can never be the repository of ultimate truth. It is an exploratory path rather than a predetermined road. It is a journey to be undertaken, not because of our fears, but in spite of them. "All our theologies", he argues, "are the garments we fashion to clothe that to which we give the name ''God''. Like any garment they are formed from the materials available at the time and according to the fashions of the day, and the quality of the end product is ultimately dependant on the skill of the tailor." This does not mean that all such formulations are without value or that one may summarily dismiss one''s own or another''s religious or spiritual experience. It is a call for true religious liberty and spiritual responsibility. "No Longer Children" is intended for the general reader. While he predominantly approaches these issues from the tradition he knows best, he believes that what is true for Christian belief applies equally to other faiths and religious traditions.

In Dog Can Eat Cake, Dog, Cat, and Pig are woken up by strange arrivals from above. This book continues to introduce pronouns and quotation marks to indicate speech. Dog Books Early Readers have been written by a teacher with 27 years experience helping children in elementary and middle school learn to read. Dog Books are grouped into sets based on selected words that are essential for young readers to gain the skills and confidence to read. Each book uses a core group of words that are repeated throughout the book in simple mostly one sentence per page layouts. Any new nouns that are used in each book are given icon picture clues below the word in the sentence. The words from each book are revisited in a new story concept in follow-up books so that children gradually gain the confidence in word recognition that is required for fluency and meaning. In this way, young readers will begin to discover phonic patterns between words, which will enhance their already growing sight word vocabulary. Each 30-page story is simple enough to encourage successful completion of the whole book either in one or several sittings, which will boost reading confidence and encourage the young reader to try the next story to show their newly gained reading skills. The illustrations are basic so as to provide visual clues for the text without being so busy as to distract the young reader from decoding the text. As they are reading, young readers may notice that more complex words could be used. For example, if there is a picture of a bird flying up to a tree, the text may say, ''The bird can go up to the tree'' where ''fly'' would be more accurate than ''go''. Acknowledge this discovery, but point out that the word in the text is ''go'' and possibly encourage them to write their own version of the sentence with the more complex word. Once a book is completed, the young reader should be encouraged to share their success by reading it to friends and family. Each 10 book set covers a reading level: Pre-K, Kindergarden, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3. The core words are drawn from traditional, leveled sight word lists, with some notable noun and verb additions that are relevant for 21st-century early readers. Mostly one simple sentence per page with limited punctuation Basic sight words start with mainly two and three letter words that can be sounded out. New words are added gradually, book by book, set by set. Words are repeated within each book and revisited in later books. New nouns are supplemented with an icon picture clue below the word. Non-distracting illustrations to aid with text meaning New story characters are gradually added throughout each story to maintain interest and widen the opportunity for exposing readers to new words in a narrative context. Available as a Kindle ebook or paperback.

Innocuous reasons for a crime scene... exploding statues in an art gallery and ornate buttons being slyly removed from people''s garments whilst they are wearing them... Peter Evans draws these events together in a hilarious whodunnit that contains colourful and charming characters. Each of the suspects and ''supportive cast'' is created in cameo form, thus giving the reader a wide variety of quirks and reasons to be the prime suspect. Peter Evans bucks the trend with crime related thrillers and perhaps begins a genre of his own making. The reasoning and investigative nuances by the main characters create twists and turns which leave the reader suspended until the final act when an unexpected and most unlikely answer is revealed... just at the point when you are likely to explode with anticipation and your buttons fly off...

As décadas de 1950 e 1960 renderam ao mundo grandes divas que figuram no imaginário popular: Jacqueline Kennedy, Maria Callas, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly. Também foram a época da ascensão de homens que dariam origem a uma verdadeira mitologia envolvendo suas famílias: John e Robert Kennedy e Aristóteles Onassis.O aclamado escritor e jornalista investigativo Peter Evans empreendeu a missão de ir além de todo esse véu de afetação, luxo e poder para investigar a fundo detalhes surpreendentes sobre um dos triângulos amorosos mais polêmicos da história: Jackie O, Aristóteles Onassis e Bobby Kennedy. Após vários anos de pesquisas e entrevistas com espiões e terroristas, parentes, amigos e amantes dos Kennedy e de Onassis (além de muitos encontros com o próprio Ari), Evans descortinou a rede de subornos, encontros sexuais, mentiras e traições que teriam culminado na encomenda da morte de Robert Kennedy por Onassis.Nas páginas de Nêmesis estão os pormenores dos maiores escândalos envolvendo os três e o grande segredo que levou um dos homens mais ricos da época a querer se livrar de um dos americanos mais poderosos de seu tempo, o que mudou radicalmente os rumos da política mundial e formou um dos casais mais inusitados e conturbados já vistos.“A vida e os amores de Aristóteles Onassis deram origem a uma das maiores sagas do século XX. Recheado de sexo e escândalos, Nêmesis concentra-se no envolvimento de Onassis com os Kennedy, uma relação muito mais complexa e cáustica do que se poderia imaginar.”The Telegraph
