The Belfast Telegraph once ran an article entitled The Town That Is Called Sandy Row, describing a vibrant community that was entirely self-sufficient, boasting an abundance of shops, pubs, and churches to meet all of its residents' needs. At the time, the population of Sandy Row was 7,500, but it would eventually plummet to under 2,000 due to a redevelopment project that involved the demolition of many homes in the 1980s. As a result, countless locals were forced to leave the area, never to return. Compounding the effects of redevelopment was the ongoing conflict known as The Troubles, which caused great hardship for the community. It was during this time that Gordon, a proud native of Sandy Row, felt compelled to document his experiences and share them with future generations. Though his dream of publishing a book about his beloved Sandy Row was delayed for many years, now may be the perfect time, given the current push to rebuild the community and provide much-needed social housing. Every effort has been made to preserve Gordon's original wording, with only a few unavoidable changes made. The hope is that the publication of this book will serve as a fitting tribute to all those who have been a part of Sandy Row over the years. Any profits generated will be put towards the valuable community work carried out by the Blackstaff Residents' Association.

David Monkcom grew up in a world radically unfamiliar to most of us. A world made in six days by God and his son Jesus. A world in which truth is revealed not by reason but by an infallible Bible. A world in which secular society is evil and unbelievers are bound for hell. In short, the dogmatic world of Fundamentalist Christianity.Breaking away from that world was, for David, a deeply challenging process which he describes in Part One of this book.In Part Two, he invites us to consider whether any form of religious dogmatism is justifiable. Can religious claims such as God's existence be substantiated? Do holy scriptures, miracles and personal religious experience give us grounds for asserting the truth of our religion?Fundamentalism and dogmatism continue to poise serious challenges in the modern world - radicalizing young people and creating closed faith communities that act as echo chambers. What we desperately need, David argues, is to open up the echo chambers and break down the barriers between communities. Ditch dogmatism and embrace dialogue. Let's engage in a genuine conversation, seeking to understand, not demonize, one another.How? By setting up local grass-roots dialogue groups where we can get to know one another and talk. Why not start the ball rolling by discussing this book?
