In this unique and highly entertaining autobiography, Alf Taylor chronicles his life growing up in the infamous New Norcia Mission, north of Perth in the fifties and sixties. At once darkly humorous and achingly tragic, God, The Devil and Me tells of the life and desperation of the young children forced into the care of the Spanish Nuns and Brothers who ran the Mission. Their lives made up of varying degrees of cruelty and punishments, these children were the 'little black devils' that God and religion forgot. Written with an acerbic and brutal wit, Alf intersperses dark childhood memories with a Monty Pythonesque retelling of the Bible, in which Peter is an alcoholic and Judas is a good guy.As a child, underfed, poorly clothed and missing his family, Alf sought refuge in the library in the company of Shakespeare and Michelangelo. He writes with joy about the camaraderie of the boys, their love of sport and their own company, but also notes that many descended into despair upon leaving. Most died early. Alf Taylor is one of the 'lucky ones'.'At once horrific and hilarious, this ''little black devil'' has created a work unique not just in Aboriginal writing, but in Australian literature altogether.' - Dennis Haskell, Australian poet, critic and academic

Just what is it about Howard Beckman that is so captivating, intriguing and inspiring? The answers are found in this book. During his life, he has run the full gambit from being an out of control teenager, a drug addict, an international drug smuggler to doing hard time in a Thai prison and subsequently a U.S. Federal Prison. However, the real story that is revealed here is how he survived all the horrors and devastating setbacks that came with the world he lived in. Anyone who has ever been involved in the drug culture and addiction, or cares about someone who is, will find Howard?s story meaningful on a multitude of levels. It is one thing to survive the horrors of a foreign prison and the corruption associated with it, but another aspect exists that is just as daunting. Perseverance and cunningness alone are not enough for surviving and making your life, and the lives near to you, worthwhile to the world. Furthermore, Fate, both good and bad, will always play a crucial part in one?s life. A person?s spirituality is what makes the difference when it comes to acquiring sufficient knowledge and wisdom for climbing out of the darkness and moving towards a peaceful existence. The lessons that Howard?s story imparts tell us that it is not too late to begin the journey. The lessons of Howard?s life apply equally to everyone, regardless of the challenges you face. This book is a page-turner that needs to be read.

"If you are looking for one book to make sense of the problem of evil, this book is for you." Sean McDowell Grasping This Truth Will Change Your View of God Forever If God is good and all-powerful, why doesn't He put a stop to the evil in this world? Christians and non-Christians alike struggle with the concept of a loving God who allows widespread suffering in this life and never-ending punishment in hell. We wrestle with questions such as... Why do bad things happen to good people? Why should we have to pay for Adam's sin? How can eternal judgment be fair? But what if the real problem doesn't start with God...but with us? Clay Jones, an associate professor of Christian apologetics at Biola University, examines what Scripture truly says about the nature of evil and why God allows it. Along the way, he'll help you discover the contrasting abundance of God's grace, the overwhelming joy of heaven, and the extraordinary destiny of believers.
