The modern world is riven with tensions and conflicts regarding contradicting claims over territories, fueled by ideology, nationalism and patriotic narratives. Wars and conflicts have spiritual dimensions to them that can sometimes be hidden. This book looks at the current political crises and tensions burning through the world from a spiritual perspective. It includes an imaginative interpretation of the signs of the times, and covers topics including war, nationalism, abortion, sin, revelation, Marian apparitions, Confucian philosophy, private property, natural law and the role of states in human civilization. It also explores how to use natural law to show how ownership of territories can be justly relegated to different states, using an analysis of a number of modern and historical cases.

""I have tried to put together a collection of poems that will allow for reflection. They will certainly make you think. Hopefully there will be those that will lift your mood, although a few are quite emotional and might bring you to tears. I make no apology for that, it is how poetry interacts with the soul. That said there are a couple of these rhymes that I very much hope will make you laugh. It is my wish, that you will enjoy reading these poems of mine and revisit them time after time.""

To no one in particular, Peter began a soliloquy. "As a detective, the question I'm always asked is not why but how." Inspector Slade interrupted.

This time he's on a classic train journey that can only go off the rails. Fresh from another sensationally successful season nationally on Aurora Community television, prepare to take a trip with some of your favourite characters, and some wacky new ones. For the young or the young at heart, it's worth the price of a one way ticket on the ultimate laugh track. All aboard!
