Sitting here, setting down these memories, checking them through, believing they are accurate, I find it hard to understand how much I came to love riding, how much it affected my life. It's the riding I remember the most. The incredible views I saw from the seats of my bikes, the people I met along the way, being part of the landscape and completely opened to the elements, the noise, and the surface of the roads. The brilliant furnace of the rising sun and the sheer immensity and beauty of the landscape was hard to imagine, and the scenery unfolding before me surpassed all my expectations. There were downpours and spectacular storms, hail hammering on my helmet, the bright flashes of lightning and glorious sounds of thunder. Then there were astounding sunsets, the city lights, night runs, the breathtaking atmosphere of inner cities that, in their busyness, offered incredible intimacy. So hop on board and make no mistake, you will enjoy the ride as much as I have.

Moss Side was a hard place in the 1920s. Gangs dominated the streets, and the Bloods were the meanest gang in Moss Side streets. Ernest Roberts was their most feared enforcer, and whether it was in the boxing ring or on the street, Ernie reckoned he was the toughest, hardest son-of-a-bitch around. Then, suddenly, dire circumstances changed all that. He was forced to scarper without so much as a goodbye to his family, with his destination uncertain. But every journey must have a destination, and for better or worse, he chose a new life somewhere south of Capricorn.His arrival wasn't timely.

Traditional therapy practice is facing a crisis due to the increasing influence of Critical Social Justice (aka 'wokeness'). Activists are reframing the narrative of therapy, seizing control of professional bodies and institutions, and teaching future therapists to view their primary role as changing society. Any critique is cancelled: critics are characterised as reactionary and bigoted. A diverse international group of authors comprising psychotherapists, academics, and psychologists are assembled here to present critical perspectives on the antitherapeutic nature of Critical Social Justice. The authors consider questions such as: How did therapy become vulnerable to a political authoritarian ideology?How can theories drawn from psychology and psychotherapy shed light on the phenomenon of 'wokeness'?What are the implications of gender ideology for therapeutic practice? How compatible are Critical Social Justice suppositions with established therapy theories and research?What are the implications of the politicisation of professional bodies and training institutes for counselling and psychotherapy? Finally, some thoughts are offered about how to push back against an ideology which threatens to turn the clinical space into a site for the moral re-education of vulnerable clients. This book represents an ethical call to action: anyone who wishes to preserve the integrity of therapy needs to stand up and make their voices heard.

Life is full of OMG moments. Working for God is fraught with secular and religious challenges that prompt the call. Here, life behind the scenes of a teacher in a religious environment is presented in a tapestry of anecdotes and memories. These pages celebrate a life lived in and beyond the classrooms of the tropical north. They paint pictures of teaching under pressure, and the highs and lows of relationships within Christian school communities. Teachers of today may recognize the angst and relate to the celebrations and sufferings as they too reach out for a helping hand and cry OMG. Christianity and cultural confusions raise perplexing questions about the teacher's role and emerge here in a kaleidoscope of personal experiences - the holy and the unholy.

Traveling barren roads for hours, unsure of what lay at the end, the only firm plan was to be away for weeks at a time.
