Bøker av Richard Tomlinson

I was motivated to write this book by several life experiences.First, it became disheartening to see the suffering of people everyday, knowing full well that much of it is unnecessary. For example, a recent announcement by the Surgeon General of the US stated that "loneliness" is at epidemic proportions, and a serious health danger. News of drug overdoses, suicides, depression break my heart.It simply does not have to be the way. In the past ten years, in particular, I've read literally hundreds of examples of how The Holy Bible addresses our everyday problems.Therefore, I set out to examine and match real life challenges with solutions found in The Bible, with the hopes and prayers that it would bring the richness, joy, comfort, and solace to all readers as it had done for me. Everyone needs an emotional and spiritual foundation, and they are found in The Scriptures.I'm hopeful that this book will somehow be the connecting link to a better life for the reader, their family, friends, and loved ones.Richard E.

The new Mystery Book has arrived, Judy says,"There is a thrill around every corner". The story portrays the small town of Austin, where two electronics companies made their start. It also brings together the owners and the people that work for them to form a solid bond. It is told in the 3rd person. This means that the story is told by the people that lived through the death and frustration while enjoying a few drinks at the local bar. Here is an excerpt:"It is imperative that you assist us in this operation". My ex-boss was talking to me. I was just getting back to the norm after my two-week vacation. I looked over my right shoulder and asked, "What are you talking about"?

On a sunny afternoon in May 1868, nineteen-year-old Gilbert Grace stood in a Wiltshire field, wondering why he was playing cricket against the Great Western Railway Club. A batting genius, 'W. G.' should have been starring at Lord's in the grand opening match of the season. But MCC did not want to elect this humble son of a provincial doctor. W. G's career was faltering before it had barely begun.Grace finally forced his way into MCC and over the next three decades, millions came to watch him - not just at Lord's, but across the British Empire and beyond. Only W. G. could boast a fan base that stretched from an American Civil War general and the Prince of Wales's mistress to the children who fingered his coat-tails as he walked down the street, just to say 'I touched him'.The public never knew the darker story behind W. G.'s triumphal progress. Accused of avarice, W. G. was married to the daughter of a bankrupt. Disparaged as a simpleton, his subversive mind recast how to play sport - thrillingly hard, pushing the rules, beating his opponents his own way.In Amazing Grace, Richard Tomlinson unearths a life lived so far ahead of his times that W. G. is still misunderstood today. For the first time, Tomlinson delves into long-buried archives in England and Australia to reveal the real W. G: a self-made, self-destructive genius, at odds with the world and himself.
