"Our world is full of the ghosts of unspoken words and memories." Could You Ever Live Without? encompasses love, hope, relationships, dreams, our fears and our triumphs, our heartbreaks and our losses. The book delves into the soul and asks which of these vital components of life is the most essential, the one that we truly cannot live without: the one that makes us human. When everything is taken away, amongst the shattered pieces of life what do we need the most? What do we need to exist, to live, to love? The book asks again and again, Could You Ever Live Without? David Jones is the author of the best selling Love And Space Dust, Could You Ever Live Without, Highway Heart, Moonlight And You, and Death's Door..

The Calling - Part One Serena and Simon were to be engaged. There was nothing remarkable about that, nor the chance encounter with his college friends, Delf and Shorn, as they sat in a caf planning their future. Simon's sudden obsession to find the book of 'Agrippa' (the witches bible) had changed their day and now it was in his possession he felt a calm but how was he to know it marked the start of what witches refer to as 'The Calling'. How was he to know that this is where the Witch Trinity begins, and their lives and the fate of the world were now in danger

This book is about having ideas and-a much longer haul-making them work. David Jones, best known for his Daedalus column, tells many stories about creators and their creations, including his own fantastical-seeming contributions to mainstream science-such as unrideable bicycles and chemical gardens in space. His theory of creativity endows each of us with a Random-Ideas Generator, a Censor, and an Observer-Reasoner. Jones applies the theory to a wide range of weird scientific experiments that he has conducted for serious scientific papers, for challenging printed expositions, and for presentations to a TV audience. He even suggests new ones, not yet tried! Creativity is as essential to science as curiosity, physical intuition, and shrewd deduction from well-planned experiments. But, says Jones, ingenuity is very uncertain-even for the greatest inventors, about 80 percent of ideas fail. Jokiness can help, and so can lots of random data. Jones has copious clever advice that will help you have that madly brilliant private thought in the first place-and will encourage you to take it further. Neither dense nor demanding, The Aha! Moment is engrossing, edifying, and scientifically serious; yet it is lightly written, has many jokes, and asks lots of silly questions. As Jones shows, it can often pay to take an absurd idea seriously.

The Elect Methodists is the first full-length academic study of Calvinistic Methodism, a movement that emerged in the eighteenth century as an alternative to the better known Wesleyan grouping. While the branch of Methodism led by John Wesley has received significant historical attention, Calvinistic Methodism, especially in England, has not. The book charts the sources of the eighteenth-century Methodist revival in the context of Protestant evangelicalism emerging in continental Europe and colonial North America, and then proceeds to follow the fortunes in both England and Wales of the Calvinistic branch, to the establishing of formal denominations in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
