"I Remember" - a commonly used phrase followed by memories of the author, her parents and grandparents relating to life in the mining communities of the North East of England.The author writes:I feel very fortunate that I had the privilege of growing up in a close family, and as a result have many memories and photographs, both my own and those of my parents and grandparents.I am not an author/storyteller in the accepted sense of the word; I never got higher than a C for my English compositions. I have simply put pen to paper and written down both my memories and memories entrusted to me.This book is in essence a rambling dialogue as the author might have related it to her grandchildren.It relates the highs and lows in the lives of three generations of one family.The occupations of the menfolk varied and included - Blacksmith, Police Constable in 1870s to 1880s, Coal miners, Joiners, Mechanics, one even served in R.F.C. in Egypt (1st WW).The women of the family were all in service before they were married, all that is except the author who trained as a Teacher.Without specific comparisons the social changes are obvious, very evident are those in life style, clothing & schooling.Particularly interesting are the references to - home remedies, superstitions/traditions, entertainments before the advent of TV and links with the Co-op Society.The text is abundantly illustrated with over 250 photos/documents dating from as early as 1875 up to 1962.Photos include lots of people & places known to the family, and school photos from 1880s to 1960s.Although the family came from a wider area, the author grew up in NW Durham.

In December 2003, Luleta Brown experienced one of life's worst personal tragedies: her healthy unborn son died unexpectedly, four days before his official due date. She was told it was a "vague" mishap. The arrival of Luleta's son was to have been the miraculous fulfillment of a long-awaited dream. The grief was profound, unlike any other grieving over death that she had ever experienced (and she had grieved over death many times).The subsequent days and weeks were a struggle; many times she questioned her proven resiliency and deep-rooted coping skills. As much as she tried, she could not seem to get to the point of total acceptance of this tragedy. She refused to accept that her life could be put through such upheaval for no reason; she did not believe fate had the right to do that.After an arduous battle, Luleta made the choice to create a reason; she had what she can only refer to as an epiphany - the experience of an insight - to write this book. While doing so, she discovered that the process of writing the poems was helping her to confront emotions she had not yet confronted; it felt like a cleansing process. Luleta was seized in a writing frenzy; she wrote all the time, practically non-stop. Many times, she thought she had covered all the essential areas, but then an important scenario would present itself, out of the blue, to be included; for example, "The Most Natural Question in the World" and "Norman." Some topics are approached in a direct and candid way.The poems in All Angels Have Wings explore the gamut of emotions that Luleta experienced and struggled with. It was truly a journey through grief to hope and to finally embracing life again in a real way.
Singular-Meaning Lexicon and Handbook of the Greek New Testament is divided into two distinct sections. The Lexicon first gives a singular meaning for every NT Greek word. Next, the meaning is discovered by analysis of every occurrence of that wordin the NT. Meanings are sifted until a singular meaning is found thatadapts in every location of that word. This would be as near as a humancould get to the meaning that was in the one mind of God, who is theauthor. The Handbook includes a treatment on the rare subject of thescriptural history of language. The Grammar section is an attempt toadapt the NT Greek grammar so that it is consistent. Issues like thepassive meaning given to the middle voice, imperatival force put on theparticipial verb forms etc. are discussed.
