Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Fount Edition. Paperback. Gerald priestland, well known for his books, his broadcasts and his beliefs, here plays devil's advocate; God is in the dock. Priestland presses the case against God, searching many discipl;ines and cultures, cross-examining a range of witnesses - among them Sir Alfred Ayer, Shirley Williams, Iris Murdoch, John Mortimer, Don Cupitt - for evidence against the possibility of a divine being. Finally, Priestland welcomes the doubters for compelling us top see how wrong we have been about God, how we must change our approach to him, even as he adopts new ways of manifesting himself. 192 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).

Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. The 'defrocking' of Norfolk priest Kit Chalcraft in 1995 for seeking to marry for the third time has put the Church of England's moral respectablity firmly in the spotlight. But, when Chalcraft's parishoners refused to accept the appointment of a new vicar by the local bishop of Norwich, the affair sparked wider questions about who decides who are to be the ministers of the people. The author answered a plea from Chalcraft's congregation to minister to them, despite instructions from his own bishop in Ely not to cross diocesan boundaries. In this personal and challenging diary, he charts the tensions, hopes and fears of a people who feel let down by an institution which they claim has squandered its resources and failed to provide adequate leadership. He argues that, far from being isolated incidents of rebellion, the unfolding stories represent a positive return to a Celtic model of Christianity in Britain. Drawing on strands throughout history, from the inspiration of Ss Cutherbert and Aidan to modern-day Sudan - the author explores this model, where people manager their own pastoral affairs. One where priests and biships, unburdened from centralised bureaucracy, become travelling preachers, bringing their spiritual wisdom from church to church. 115 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Gloria Gaynor's 1974 hit 'Never Can Say Goodbye' started the disco boom of the seventies. Five year later, 'I Will Survive' topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic and established the singer as a living pop legend. Gloria was one of seven children in a musical family. Her father was a Vaudeville entertainer and, from the age of eight, she knew she too wanted to be a singer. Spotted performing in a Newark nightclub, she was seventeen when she signed to Columbia Records. Her meteoric rise to stardom brought problems in its wake. Her mother had died in 1970 and, without the love and influence that she always provided, Gloria squandered her new-found wealth on a 'rock 'n roll' lifestyle of all-night parties, drink and drugs. Others envied her, but inside she felt empty. In the early eighties, sustained by her marriage to music publisher Linwood Simon, Gloria took three years out and reflected upon her life. She visited churches and studied her mother's old Bible. As a result she made a commitment to Christ which sustains her to this day. This book is the autobiography of the 'queen of disco'. It is a thrilling story of life at the top in showbusiness and the profound and permanent change in one person's spiritual life. Illustrated with B/W photos. Previous owners name and address sticker to inside cover.
