Starting with the dawn of what we would recognise as modern human thought, this book journeys through 35,000 years of our human past. It shows how our earliest ancestors learnt to enter trance states and the revolutionary effect this had on the way they interacted with their world. Moreover, by marrying the very latest research with vivid first-person reconstructions, the book will actually take readers back in time. In its pages we join Stone Age hunting parties, steal food from desperate, starving cannibals, sit eye-to-eye with a mouldy Bronze Age mummy and join the Celts for a feast where you truly are what you eat. The story of our past has never been told this way before and has never been brought to life with such vividness. This is the past as our ancestors would have known it.

The first Part of a book that reminds us of our past & present? Taking us on a journey from Childhood to Adulthood with its many twists & turns.

Uncompromising but compassionate, Mike tackles the tricky issues of same-sex relationships, gender and the Church's interaction with individuals of the LGBTQ+ community today. Writing for the Church, to challenge the Church, he does not shy away from the tough questions including: What does the Bible actually say? Are believers living with a Kingdom-first mindset or going with the cultural flow? How can the Church keep love and truth in tandem in supporting the LGBTQ+ community? And much more... This resource highlights what the Word of God plainly teaches about gender and sexuality. I would love to see faithful Christians present a copy of Sexuality & Holiness to every pastor and church leader throughout the country. Pastor John of Strengthen the Faithful As someone working with young people engulfed with pressing ethical topics of sex, sexuality, and gender, I have found this book to be an incredible resource. I highly recommend it for its honest tone and accessible style to leaders and members of youth groups alike. Jenny Ogwal, Youth Leader I know Mike Williams to be a man of integrity and he has approached this important subject with humility and compassion... Throughout the book the emphasis is that rather than being a killjoy, God actually longs to bless people. Reverend John Bridger

Elsie Tapp is the kind of woman who'd break the heart of a Turkish wrestler, and mostly with her fists - but appearances can be deceptive. Elsie has a secret. To her adoring fans everywhere she is Felicity Merryweather, Queen of Romance, and no gooier tales of love, villainy, and tight Regency trousers exist outside the covers of her books.'How quaint ' she cries, arriving in the little town of Grubdale, with her beloved pink poodle in tow. But Grubdale is far from quaint - Grubdale is downright peculiar. People in Grubdale think she's a witch. Even the witches think she's a witch, and that's not to mention the vanishing sheep, cows with their bottoms bitten off, and a strange gentleman who's swathed in bandages and coughs up furballs the size of hamsters. There's even a body in a box who's dying to be let out 'A Touch of Spleen' - the new sequel to 'The Trouble with Wyrms' trilogy. The comedy continues, and this time with teeth...

It's England in 1912 and a group of middle-aged women are causing havoc in the quiet Derbyshire village of Sodden-on-the-Bog.'They're not from round 'ere, ' as one villager whispered, and indeed they're not. These ladies are from a distant planet, a touch to the left and a little bit down from Orion's Belt. They've been given strict orders to find the Stately Wyrms of England, but have discovered sun, sangria and Suffragettes instead. There's the teeniest tiniest problem of them being mistaken for German spies too, not to mention being chased by giant rats who've taken over the village pub.'Lavender and Haddock' - the first of a comedy trilogy recounting the exploits of a group of witches in their search for peace, love and a good gin and tonic.

Grubdale in the year 1912 - a quaint Victorian town nestled high among the sheep and turnips of Northern England, boasting a regiment of Rifles, the Zoological Gardens and the most expensive and grandest of hotels this side of the viaduct, The Alpine Palace. But all is not as it seems. The Alpine Palace is overflowing with German spies and the latest addition to the Zoological Gardens is eating its way through the rest of the exhibits, breathes fire when it sneezes and is demanding to be called 'Your Majesty' when spoken to. All of this is nothing to the goings-on at Grubdale Towers, a school for orphans where a bad tin of sardines has created a vacancy on the staff for a certain witch and her pink 'poodle' to teach 'explosions' to horrid little boys. While the Sisterhood continue their search for the Stately Wyrms of England, Rowena Carp must guard the last Prince of Wyrm and keep his identity a secret from the other boys at the school. Educating Creatures - the second part of 'The Trouble with Wyrms' Trilogy - the comedy continues.

Grubdale was such a nice, quiet town before the witches came. Not your average witches with gum disease and chins like a bog brush, but thoroughly modern, respectable witches in tweeds and sensible shoes.They've arrived from a small planet a jiggle to the left and a tiny bit down from the buckle on Orion's Belt, and now all hell has broken loose. There are rats setting fire to the town, giant rats that'd be up and through your undercarriage like a doctor's thermometer. The dead and dripping are off for an evening stroll, while overlooking the town at Grubdale Towers, Rowena Carp and Bethesda Chubb are throwing seagull after seagull high into the air to find help.The problem is the prince. Now that Tarantulus Spleen - evil sorcerer with a face like a bluebottle - has discovered the poor boy's hiding place, he's sent his henchmen back through space and time to kill him. Only the Stately Wyrms of England can save the boy, but they've got more pressing concerns than rescuing a snotty little prince - making ickle bitty baby dragons being one of them, if only the Red Wyrm of Wales would wake up and do the business.The Allure of the Red Wyrm - the final part of 'The Trouble with Wyrms' trilogy. The comedy continues...
