*************************

ick Griffiths watched his first Doctor Who aged four and a bit. He would have hidden behind the sofa but it was back against the wall and his parents didn’t let him move furniture so he hid behind a cushion instead. He’s since been told by his mum and dad that they didn’t have a sofa only armchairs. So this book should really be called Behind the Armchair, but that didn’t sound right. And so began a life long obsession. When Doctor Who started getting rubbish (after Tom Baker basically) he nearly escaped into the world of music and girls until he discovered someone selling tapes of old episodes in the small ads and that was that again. Only in the last few years has an anti-social obsession become something he can earn a living from as a journalist and happily this coincided with Doctor Who getting good again. Plus he has a son now so he can claim he’s watching it for him. Oh and his son’s called Dylan not Gallifrey or Davros.

“A very funny book for anyone who grew up wearing Tom Baker underpants. I know I did.” DAVID TENNANT

“An unadulterated nostalgia-fest written with fun, wit and love. I’m a number of years younger than Griffiths and of a different sex, but I’ve rarely read anything that so reflects my own opinions and feelings about the series and more besides. If friends, parents and partners don’t quite comprehend a fan’s love for the Doctor, this is the book that might help them get there.” DR WHO MAGAZINE

“He conjures up just how mind-blowing it was for an ordinary suburban kid to be transported to a realm of danger and rampant sci-fi imaginings.” FINANCIAL TIMES

“If I am getting carried away, it is the fault of Griffiths’s awfully charming memoir of boyhood and Doctor Who, with its deft evocations of eight-year-old invincibility and embarrassing school discos as well as arguments about Cybermen vs Autons or Jon Pertwee vs Tom Baker. Griffiths’s chatty, self-deprecating style is disarming…” THE GUARDIAN

“Popbitch’s favourite new memoir.” POPBITCH

“… he writes with such wit and warmth, and a strong line in observational humour.” THE DAILY MAIL

“… the book Nick Hornby would have written if he’d spent his life obsessing over Doctor Who rather than footie. Nostalgic and funny.” THE MAIL ON SUNDAY

*************************

f there is a loving God, then why is it that … ?
You’ve heard that question, perhaps asked it yourself. No matter how you complete it, at its root lies the issue of pain.
Does God order our suffering? Does he decree an abusive childhood, orchestrate a jet crash, steer a tornado through a community? Or did he simply wind up the world’s mainspring and now is watching from a distance?
In this Gold Medallion Award–winning book, Philip Yancey reveals a God who is neither capricious nor unconcerned. Using examples from the Bible and from his own experiences, Yancey looks at pain—physical, emotional, and spiritual—and helps us understand why we suffer. Where Is God When It Hurts? will speak to those for whom life sometimes just doesn’t make sense. And it will help equip anyone who wants to reach out to someone in pain but just doesn’t know what to say.

*************************

trange things happen in the Alaska bush. The native Alaskans say that a white man, too long alone out there will go mad. Gus O’Neill suspects it may have happened to him. His two best friends, Hard Case Calis the old Alaska State Trooper, and Haywood Jennings the flying veterinarian think so too. Gus spends a summer on Moose Jaw Creek where he builds a cabin, finds a ravaged red-haired beauty he comes to love, and murders the man who had sexually molested her. When Haywood flies in to join Gus for a moose hunt he finds his friend alone and raving. There is no evidence that Gus’ redhead or the dead man he claims to have killed ever existed.
Gus is baffled by the disappearance of his woman and the body of his victim, but he agrees to join Haywood on a moose hunt. While getting in position to drive a large bull toward Haywood, Gus is attacked by a giant grizzly that has been stalking him. He manages to kill the bear but is badly mauled in the process. Haywood finds Gus and the dead bear, and flies his injured friend back to Fairbanks for treatment. The following day Haywood returns to Gus’ cabin with Hard Case to deal with the dead bear. During the flight they discuss Gus’ condition and his weird tale about the woman he had found and the man he’d killed. They agree Gus must have gone a little crazy while out there alone. Things become complicated when, back in the woods near Gus’ cabin, they find no bear carcass. Haywood insists he had seen and touched its dead body just yesterday. The two friends return to Fairbanks as mystified as Gus. When Hard Case unearths an unsolved case file that dates back more than forty years, it becomes clear that Gus may not have imagined the woman or the murder after all. Strange things happen in the Alaska bush.

The Crowd, The Critic, and the Muse: A Book for Creators *************************

The Crowd, The Critic, and the Muse: A Book for Creators
M. Gungor

Genre(s): Humor & Entertainment, Pop Culture, Art, Arts & Entertainment

Rating: 4.7 – {18 Reviews}

Price may change without notice! Due to international copyrights, not all titles will be free outside the United States.

*************************

“

We are all creators. Whether or not we create is not up to us. We are human, and creating is what we do. Every interaction, movement, and decision is creativity at work. We are all artists. We all order creation around us into the world that we want to make.”–Michael Gungor

In The Crowd, the Critic, and the Muse, Michael Gungor takes an
uncompromising–and humorous–look at our creative selves and the world that we have fashioned around us.

Through story and reflection, Gungor shows how our deepest beliefs and assumptions about the universe affect how we order creation. Our art and our humanity are inextricably entwined.

Surveying pop songs and church services, fine art and movies, Gungor shows
what these works of creation reveal about us–for better and worse–and
offers a powerful argument for why we can do better.

Art is like fruit, and if we want to improve the quality of our creative output, we must tend not only to the fruit, but to the tree, its roots, and the soil that it is planted in. To become free as creators, we must not simply try harder, we must become different. Gungor argues that this kind of change demands both an awareness of one’s own cultural conditioning and a healthy degree of faith, doubt, hope and love.

An award-winning, globetrotting musician, Gungor also reveals his personal
journey as an artist and creator, a tale of moving from innocence to wisdom,
from simplicity to complexity and back again, a tale of leaving home and
returning in a new, better, and more creative way.
