Book Description
A less than compelling coming of age jaunt about a boy who becomes a man through a collection of his haphazard ramblings. Part essay, part collection of short stories and poems, Laughter is Inner Jogging forces you to listen to the hedonistic patterns of Tenjack's early-to-mid-twenties, as well as his self-loathing tie-ups with himself and his love for the opposite sex. The book includes 149 pages of contextual gobbledygook, thousands of obscure insider references to only-god-knows-what, and 331 selfishly inspired footnotes as a vehicle for the mind-numbing metadiscourse. It's a mess. Quite frankly, it stands a chance at being the worst book ever written. And that's why "you" should read it.

Book Description
Life is a constant blur. Blur of actions, words, people, situations and concepts. Things that take years to build can be destroyed in seconds, and there’s nothing you are ever sure of. Nothing is constant except for the change. It is inevitable. You cannot speak of life as though it was concrete. It is a mixture of emotions and things that are felt and seen and it all comes up into one massive puff of smoke. The smoke is never cleared away enough for you to grasp life completely. All the things that happen to us and how we deal with everything thrown our way add up to the mist. Life is merely an evolving cloud of eternal haze.

Book Description
A suspense novel of drugs, love, cyphers, and sailors from the bestselling author of The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner. A blind Royal Air Force veteran becomes entangled in a high-seas heroin heist in this gripping adventure from one of Britain’s most renowned postwar writers. Though Howard cannot see, he is able to view the world through the radio waves, eavesdropping on global affairs and secret transmissions with his mastery of Morse code. But when Howard becomes obsessed with the voice of a female sailor and her mysterious communications with her lover, his own relationship begins to dissolve. Howard’s doting wife, Laura, tries to bring her husband back to their provincial reality by introducing him to Richard, a fellow code-breaking buff. However, the attempt to solve their marital problems backfires when Richard’s dealings in the black market send the female sailor on a dangerous drug run and Howard sets off on a madcap mission to save her. From British working-class life to intercepted Interpol reports, bestselling author Alan Sillitoe takes readers on a suspenseful ride into a sea of crime and corruption, love and heroism—one that is masterfully punctuated with dots and dashes.

Book Description
How do you explain that which defies logic? Is it a happenstance, a fluke, a coincidence? Or could it be that the space between heaven and earth was made a little less distant? God is personally involved in the lives of the people He so loves, making the seemingly impossible, possible. Since I have witnessed firsthand God’s extraordinary touch in my life, I prefer to call these occasions “God-incidents.” This book is a collection of my reflections on those times; struggles and joys, along with personal insights from God’s Word, prayer, people, and circumstances. They have been written over a number of years and testify to the reality of God in my life. I never thought I’d author a book, but I have decided that maybe God wants these writings to be shared. My sole purpose in this endeavor is to show, through the life of an ordinary person like myself, His amazing love and to encourage others in building up and walking in their faith.
