Acts 2:17 "And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh."There can be no doubt that as we draw closer to the end of the age, that there has been a dramatic increase in the outpouring of God's Spirit in the earth. The evidence is clear, for whereas Spirit filled believers throughout the earth at the start of the twentieth century, could be numbered in their thousands, Spirit filled believers in the earth at the start of the twenty first century, can now be numbered in their millions. This book is written to provide a biblical framework for believers regarding our encounters with the Holy Spirit. The reason we teach on this subject, is because if saints are ignorant about what the word of God teaches about these encounters, our adversary the devil can use that ignorance to lead them into error. To have an encounter with the Holy Spirit is to have an encounter with the supernatural. And so, because most believers have never been exposed to the supernatural before they come into the kingdom of God, if they are not taught correctly, they can be vulnerable to having encounters with the wrong spirit and can thus be misled.

Dear You, is a collection of love poems that explores the alchemy of love through its various manifestations. It contains different visions of love that unravel the deep mysteries of the heart by delving into the passions of the soul and the flesh. Dear You, is a book of love, beauty, tragedy, and romance - a book, with a heart, turned inside out. She walks with butterflies She walks with butterfliesAll around her body, And light shines upon her skin from head to toe.It must be her, Her serpentine beauty that beguiles my eyes.O, love, it is as if roses were made from her lips.See how, when she laughs, the sweetest petals bepaint her cheeks.And as this fine maiden passes by, A flower blooms wherever she treads her feet.Tell me, how does she do it?How does she make the Moon hang by the glow on her face?How does she teach the stars to twinkle in the night?Even her skin reflects a thousand moonbeamsWhile her eyes move the Sun to rise, and burn bright.O, how, love?How does she capture light with her own light?That in her absence or as when she frowns, The universe would turn afoulThat all heavens, whether day or night, Would weep the saddest woeTo unbridle her from such gloomy plight.Yet the more I cannot tellThe thoughts that court her mindBut they must be sweeter than the music of the nightingaleFor no beauty as hers should hear a tinge of whisperThat can produce even the slightest ail.But if her beauty is devouredBy the wiles of envious time, The more praises I will give, For her beauty shall for-ever liveIn my verse, in my love, and in my rhyme.I grieve for the ignorant poetryI grieve for the ignorant poetryFor they know not what they writeBecause if they only see that which I see, All their daring lines shall be called a spite.God knows, every word of beauty, Expresses none but you.O, is it not insulting, love, that they compare you to a flower?When even the meekest bud has seen what is true: "In her presence, do all flowers shy away;And how, when she walks, The greenest grass bow and praise;That even the winds fall silent and listen when she talks." And, love, when you blink, as when on our bed you lay, That's how the Sun knowsThat the night must now be turned to day.'How about the beauty of the rose?' they ask."But that's too poor a cliché." I say.Remember, how, a rose, is embarrassed when you holdSuch poor rose - its esteemed beauty drops and fades away.Decay - decay.More - I can show; but much - I'd rather leave untold.Yet, forgive them, my saint, Because I, too, am as guilty as their linesFor writing too frail a verse.But how to write?When even Cupid's pen will take a thousand times to nurse!But, this I write to tellWhat the best of quills unknowingly hold as true: That not one can tell, but can only praiseThe poorest inch of you.

My book 'A Turnkey or Not?' was originally published in November 2011.A chance meeting on holiday in Majorca changed my life forever and launched me into a 25-year career in a job that I never would've considered previously: working in Her Majesty's Prison Service. This book catalogues my personal experiences of working as a prison officer, from my early days at high-security HMP Pentonville to my final years in therapy-based HMP Grendon. Filled with interesting observations and incidences, hilarious wind-ups and memorable characters, this autobiography is the story of a journey, from the happiest days in what will always be a potentially volatile environment to a complete state of disillusionment as an old dinosaur that no longer fitted into the modern prison service world. I give an honest account of my feelings, as someone who would never be a yes man and toe the party line faced with a constantly changing environment that had become increasingly controlled by political correctness gone mad and by budgetary needs rather than human needs. I am a man who cared, and even though my heart was sucked out of my job, I never lost my dignity or respect. Most importantly, I would never allow myself to be reduced to just a turnkey.I am a 69-year-old Tottenham-born family man and former prison officer. After spending 25 years in the UK's prison service, and having become increasingly disillusioned with stifling modern prison service politics and practices, in 2008 I took my pension pot and ran, moving to Spain to spend my early retirement in the sun. My wife and I, however, have now moved back to the UK temporarily because of the current economic climate. This autobiography about my prison service life and was my first book to be published.
